More Catching Up

 "Show kindness whenever possible. Show it to the people in front of you, the people coming up behind you, and the people with whom you are running neck and neck. It will vastly improve the quality of your own life, the lives of others, and the state of the world." (Ann Patchett)

 

Hello, my lovely friends!  

 

    How are you holding up in all this crazy heat? We actually caught a lucky break the last couple of days with some evening rain, which definitely helped cool things down a bit. I'm really hoping today's cool enough to tackle some of those pesky weeds outside. Whatever you're up to, just make sure you're staying nice and cool!

 

    Oh my gosh, speaking of getting outside, I finally got some veggie plants into pots! I was, yet again, a bit late to the game and didn't get them in until the end of June. But honestly, with how our weather has been, I'm pretty sure they'll be just fine, maybe even thriving, all the way through October. I mostly planted hardier greens that love the cooler weather, so I've got my fingers crossed for a great harvest.

Did you get a chance to plant anything this year? I'd love to hear what you've been growing!

 

    This Saturday is the day! My mom called the lawn service, and the whole crew is coming to tackle our yard. It's been a real struggle this year, so I'm so happy to finally get some help. They're going to trim the trees, spray for weeds, and we're even starting to get rid of some of the grass in the front.

 

    I've been out there trying to get it cleaned up before they arrive, which I know sounds a little funny—cleaning your yard before the lawn service starts, right? My mom has been a huge help, too; she's been able to get some of the weeds, which really makes a difference.

                                             
So glad you stopped by! Wishing you the coziest morning/afternoon/evening ahead. Can't wait for our paths to cross again!
