What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. š I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
We are still in the 90s so not doing much outside except sweeping the sidewalk and gutter early in the morning. We grocery shop today and then I'll be in the basement slowly going through more stuff to get rid of while the hubs does the vacuuming. Tomorrow I have a meeting then we have swim class for the dogs. Sunday the hubs works so I'll continue working on house stuff. Have a good weekend settling back into a routine -- and staying cool while doing it!
ReplyDeleteVacation was great but I am looking forward to getting the patio ready to relax on as much as we can stand outside. Have a great weeekend everybody!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to plant some hydrangea's in my garden as they provide huge beautiful flowers all summer that will change color depending on the acidity of your soil. I did a quick google search and found this list for other options as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Best Plants that Bloom All Summer:
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia)āA tall flowering plant with bright yellow flowers that last all summer.
DahliaāPerennial flowers that bloom from spring to fall. This plant has large, showy, colorful blooms that last from late spring until frost.
Coneflower (Echinacea)āThe plant has large blossoms with a long flowering time from summer to fall.
PetuniasāColorful annual plants that grow in full sun and bloom continuously from spring until fall.
LavenderāA small flowering shrub that blooms all summer and comes back every year.
HydrangeasāLarge flowering perennial shrub with showy flowers that bloom year on year and last all summer long.
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)āLow maintenance, sun-loving shrub that flowers relentlessly throughout summer.
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata)āPerennial flowering plant with dazzling fragrant blossoms that bloom all summer until fall.
Creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum)āFlowering groundcover plant for full sun that creates a carpet of purple from early summer.
Bee balm (Monarda)āOne of the showiest summer-blooming perennials with spiky red flowers that last until the fall.
Hope it helps give you a couple ideas!
