What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
Grilling out sounds perfect to me. Those links are hilarious and I like your strategy of looking at those after reading the news. The news is a friggin cesspool lately... well okay it really always has been. Just be glad 2020 is over half over now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading or listening to the news in January. I do look up things I'm wondering about. My kids are here, they've been locked in for months so I feel safe having them here. Pool, grilling and cards all weekend.
Happy 4th
I have to work so I'll be sleeping for part of the afternoon. We will grill out hamburgers and the hubs wants chips, and I'm going to have some green beans. Simple grocery shopping tomorrow and laying low inside the house. I had pest control yesterday to get rid of all the wasps nests that were way up high as well as doing the whole yard and around the house for ants, fleas, ticks, and any more wasps they could find. Then they came in to spray under the windows, checked for any entryways for mice (found none except one in the garage which they fixed), and they cleaned out the cobwebs in the garage and on the front porch and around the windows. Plant based solutions, and it was wonderful to have no chemical smell. Dogs are happy to be inside with the a/c, but my girl still loves to lay in the sunshine. LOL With the new windows it doesn't get nearly as hot so she stretches out with a happy grin on her face. Our boy will be wearing his Thunder Shirt tonight for any fireworks that people light off (all festivities are canceled around town). We had a couple last night and I put that shirt on him and he was able to sleep.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic 4th of July and enjoy some patio time! xoxo
