What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
I must get pumpkin cookies. The donuts are great but I feel like I haven't had a good pumpkin cookie in a long time. That and seeing the real fall color is just something I want to see yet this year.
ReplyDeleteActually quite a bit -
ReplyDeleteMy decorations went up 10/1
We took puppies to sunflower field at local park to take pictures. They time it to be in bloom for whole month of October which is fun.
Sunday we drove around looking at decorations, starting at sunset.
No pumpkin food hankerings here other than I buy containers of pumpkin baby food to put on the dogs’ lick mats. Half peanut butter, half pumpkin, they go in freezer to set.
No time for a drive lately but there hasn't been any color change to inspire one just yet. I may or may not buy some mums for out front (supposed to hit freezing Thursday night, so I'm debating). The hubs and I will take a drive out to the apple orchard (hey, there's our scenic drive! LOL) on a Thursday in the next couple of weeks to get the best apple cider donuts I've ever had and maybe some blueberry jam. Other than that, nada. I'm ordering some fallish candles so that might bright out a more festive spirit in me. =o)
ReplyDeleteWe went to the pumpkin patch last weekend - got our pumpkins for carving right before Halloween, and also got green chiles. The smell of roasting chiles *is* fall around here. Every weekend has been busy between kid's school activities and my own work commitments so no leaf peeping for us. I'm thinking about making a quick run up to the mountains tomorrow after his play practice, but it might be a little late in the season already.
