What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

Hump Day Poll: When and How Long?

source


When do you put up your Christmas tree and how long do you keep it up?

As you saw Monday, we just got the tree up Saturday which is 1-2 weeks later than usual for us.  We usually take it down anywhere from mid to late January.  We've walked the neighborhood and even seen a few people in March still have theirs up!

(If you're one of those who put it up on Christmas Eve and takes it down before New Years, the Mr and I are curious if it's worth it to you?  That's a lotta work for a week's worth of enjoyment.)

When do you put up your Christmas tree and how long do you keep it up?

**ALSO!  If anyone is interested in sharing their tree for a post next week, leave a comment below, message me on Facebook or mrs{at}successalongtheweigh{dot}com.  If you have a story to go with it or anything you'd like included, let me know with the pics.  I need a minimum of FOUR participants to do a post and would need them no later than Monday, December 12th.  I know it's late but someone sent me their adorable tree on FB and I wanted to give the opportunity for people to share.**

    I put it up usually day after Thanksgiving. I take it down at last call for city pickup which is usually 3rd week of January

    I do like having it up just after Thanksgiving and keeping it up until mid January. Send those pics in people!

    I don't think we have a hard and fast rule that I can think of. Rarely do we get it up Thanksgiving weekend, but it has happened a few times in recent years. For the most part I think it's the first week or so of December (possibly today as a matter of fact). One time it wasn't until the week before Christmas and that was too short of a time. As for taking it down, anywhere from end of January to part of February since we just have lights on ours so it gets us through the doldrums of winter.

    I prefer it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I take the ornaments etc off about New Years. I often leave it up with just the lights until late January or early February. We have a 6’ super skinny tree that I usually put in the back living room window, on the window seat, so it takes up no floor space.
