What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
It was nice to see the sky lit up like that on our walk. I hope we can get a few more walks in this summer. Nothing beats fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the weather, but I think it is still much cooler here than where you are at. We have only had two or three really hot days so far, and not yet hot enough to drive me inside. My partner and I have been enjoying walks with our neighbour's dog in the evenings, after he arrives home from work, but before supper. On the few days that it has been hot, we have just delayed the walk until later in the evening, after supper.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's such a pretty sunset! We had a nice one yesterday with mammatus clouds that was very striking. The heat had a lot to do with that. We've had some lovely weather days this spring whre it's been an absolute pleasure to be outside. We haven't sat outside very much yet though and we still need to bring the chiminea up from downstairs so we can enjoy that some nights. Now that the grill is going again, we will probably enjoy eating out there more this summer, so long as the bugs aren't lurking. We just cut the lawn a little while ago and it was HOT. There was a really good breeze though and that was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad we got it done before noon so any naps in my immediate future will be guilt free. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to break 100 tomorrow, and we've been hovering in the 90s for about 2 weeks now. All this week has been 97-99ish so any outside stuff has to happen ridiculously early or late evening. I did get yard work done Monday, but have been hiding in the A/C the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteI ordered a new stand mixer so I've been entertaining myself with that.
