What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
I did not look at the weather so the snow was a total surprise to me and I loved walking in it. So many people cringe with snow but you can't beat walking in a nice light snow, especially when the roads aren't covered so you don't have to worry about the roads being any worse than they are with rain for the most part. The added bonus was the smell of the fire nearby. Perfect way to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI love snow. We don't get a lot of it here so it's always a bit of a novelty which makes it even better - I never have time to get tired of it. I know a bunch of people that loathe it, but I don't really understand it - unless they are ranchers, then I totally get not wanting to deal with livestock in the snow. The boy and I both tested positive last Monday so we were home from school all week and still on isolation over the weekend. Even though it was a good reason and not a punishment, it felt like an adult grounding and I was so glad to get back to work yesterday. We were lucky that both of our symptoms were fairly mild and short lived. We've had quite a local spike and school has gone remote starting today and we return in person after Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a perfect walk in the snow! I love days like that where the roads and paths are dry so you don't slip, but are surrounded by that quiet beauty. Weekend was typical with lots of errands, chores, work, and tons of computer stuff to do. We got some whipping snow but it didn't last more than a day, and then have had flurries on and off since. Temps go from 50 today to 30s tomorrow so it's kind of all over the place.
