Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots.

Now I have lunches for the whole week! LOL Looking forward to the fall weather we're going to have this week. It sure came on fast from where we work a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteFriday was my one Friday a month I have to go to school, so there was 1/3 of my weekend. Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and I got some green chiles too (yum). Sunday was just a blah day, I could tell I was coming down with a cold even though I wasn't really sick yet.
