Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
There is almost a collective feeling I get about decorating early this year and I think it would be nice to get the decorations up fairly soon after Halloween is done.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today already. I, too, was today years old when I found out what a spinet was.
Nope - I won't do Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. I must be the outlier b/c as much as I enjoy seeing other people's displays, having my own tree up actually stresses me out. Mostly because the cats think it's a kitty jungle gym. I can't put up my fragile ornaments and I'm pretty sure my artificial tree is broken now from one of them trying to climb up and sleep in it last year.
ReplyDeleteI think its a fun idea to get some of the bulky things up, like the tree, in increments so it doesn't feel so time pressured. So a tree with some light is brilliant (I'm also a huge proponent of trees being up until Valentines Day....again, just lights, because winter is too dreary otherwise with the shortened daylight). This year though there's a good chance we may bot put up any because of our work schedules and both of us ready to drop. We don't do a lot like we used to anyway, but this year may be slimmer than usual if we're too exhausted. Hopefully we'll muster up some energy if we can though. Oh, and for those who put lights on outside, now is a perfect time to get them up before snow and ice. Don't have to be turned on but at least up and ready to go. 😁
ReplyDeleteI always try to not think about Christmas until after Remembrance Day (November 11th), as a sign of respect for our veterans. We always have a real fir tree, so that won't go up until a week or two before Christmas. We have friends that farm Christmas trees and set up a tree lot to sell them from December 1st to the 23rd. We will often go help them sell on the weekends and take our wages as a tree for our selves. However, the rest of the decorations will go up starting the first of December.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the Fraserfirs are out im decorating
