Hot Mess

Tuesday evening, I must have been as tired as my husband.  Late at night, I realized I didn't lock up the chickens.  I had them in their run.  Hubby went out and put them away, but by morning, I also realized I left a load of laundry in the washing machine.  Wednesday was not only a very hot day, but I was a hot mess.

Due to an appt. for our youngest daughter, weeding was delayed (appts always mess up my plan).  It was already up to 83°F by the time we got back home.  I debated and debated.  I watered the flower pots and gave up.  The bugs were terrible and the heat horrible (like any summer).

I put ribeye steaks in a boozy marinade, looked online for any deals on carpet shampooers, purged clothing in my closet, and started a box for the goodwill.

Dinner was easy peasy - grill night.  It was a hot, hot day.

some days...you have it, and some you don't. I'm having a not so much day today, but there are things to do, not all sunshine and roses today...well we have sunshine...it's hot 87. It will dry things up which have had to much moisture. I've got to get busy.
Taking things to Goodwill....a good thing, and yes you feel like you've lightened your load a wee bit, and helped others at the same time. Now that I am getting older, I am more choosy about purchases, they are fewer and farther between, but have a substantial impact on my well being. Thank you for always stopping over and visiting with me...I really appreciate it, and look forward to our over the clothesline chats.
Faith, had to laugh when you said over the clothesline chats, ha ha! We have hot weather again today, and it's outside work and I'm not really loving it.

You are so right - no matter when an appointment it, it tends to shoot your whole day. I am worth less than nothing in hot, humid weather and that is all that's on the horizon for the next couple of weeks. Too bad the weeds find it the perfect climate for taking over.

I would call it a over the garden gate chat like talking to a friend over the gate as they pass.

Deb, ha ha! Yes, I do tell it like it is. I wish I had neighbors like you too.
Ha! Cute mamasmercantile!
Susan, I do hate appts. I just don't get anything else done. We are heading into a very humid week next week too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
