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...
I remember seeing an elderly couple who really looked like they ordered the smallest, most affordable breakfasts because it was likely all they could afford. Secretly paying for their meal just felt right and the person who waited on us that day really seemed to understand why we were doing that too - as if they knew those people as regulars who didn't have much money to spend on their meals. I agree with you, it's the kind of thing that hopefully sets their day off in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI've plugged meters, shut car doors and trunks in parking lots, shut off car lights. I throw their paper closer to the door when walking Bagel. I've dropped cash in mailboxes. I'm not very sneaky so its hard for me to pull off things without people noticing. (Bull in China shop )
ReplyDeleteSomeone I knew was talking about someone they knew who was struggling financially and rent was do. so I sent off an anonymous payment to the rental place to cover rent for the month, and never said a word to anyone about it. Well, until here. LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend lost her job. I stopped by and handed her son an envelope. It had $1000 in it. But I agree, paying for meals, leaving a quarter in the Aldi cart, buying a gift card and asking the cashier to use it for someone. Even small acts can make a big difference!
ReplyDeleteIf I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore would it? lol.
