Short and Sweet Weekend Recap
Good Monday morrow to you all. I hopeth thee hath much tomfoolery to reminisce upon from thine weekend. (Damn that would be exhausting to talk like that all of the time.) We've had biblical rain all week and weekend so road tripping would've been out of the question. No one wants to drive on slick roads for hours so we were stuck at home. I am pretty sure unless it's for pizza, we're done eating out for a while. I got so ticked trying to order from a new place and all of the hoops they wanted you to jump through that I said screw it and the Mr was ticked too and said they were shysters.

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)—A tall flowering plant with bright yellow flowers that last all summer.
Dahlia—Perennial flowers that bloom from spring to fall. This plant has large, showy, colorful blooms that last from late spring until frost.
Coneflower (Echinacea)—The plant has large blossoms with a long flowering time from summer to fall.
Petunias—Colorful annual plants that grow in full sun and bloom continuously from spring until fall.
Lavender—A small flowering shrub that blooms all summer and comes back every year.
Hydrangeas—Large flowering perennial shrub with showy flowers that bloom year on year and last all summer long.
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)—Low maintenance, sun-loving shrub that flowers relentlessly throughout summer.
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata)—Perennial flowering plant with dazzling fragrant blossoms that bloom all summer until fall.
Creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum)—Flowering groundcover plant for full sun that creates a carpet of purple from early summer.
Bee balm (Monarda)—One of the showiest summer-blooming perennials with spiky red flowers that last until the fall.
Hope it helps give you a couple ideas!
