What I'm Reading This Week #28
Hello and Happy Friday my beautiful peeps! Well, I guess I'm glad we did the tree last weekend because just as we were getting ready to leave Monday for a nursery field trip, the HOA maintenance dude shows up- no call, no email, just hoping we were home with no real knowledge of what needed to be done. He chatted with the Mr, did a few caulks and took pics to get it submitted for siding replacement. After that we got on the road to go to this big nursery. Am I the only one that sweats off their sunscreen in sheets?? I swear I probably looked like I was having a stroke to passersby. So I bought some powder sunscreen for our faces hoping that will help. I was bummed this one great powder foundation I used years ago isn't around anymore since it had built in spf so I hope this stuff is comparable. Did a lot of stuff in the garden and it cracks me up how such a small space can take up so much of my time when I have chores to do. The Mr's ban...
It is a shame that having a carved pumpkin is not what it used to be. I think it's just our neighborhood that seems to lack the Halloween spirit but I actually don't see as many pumpkin carvings in general. So yeah, no pumpkin here.
ReplyDeleteMine were getting chewed on by critters so I stopped carving and putting out. I find Halloween sad as I get few trick or treaters and feels like a waste of my time. It also makes me reminiscent of simpler times which can drag me down.
ReplyDeleteWe used to put out carved pumpkins and the plastic ones with the lights built in, but haven't for several years. We'll usually buy either one big pumpkin or some little pie-sized ones for our little stoop. Not sure if we will these year with everything going up in price, but I do have a Halloween flag and mat out front as of now.
