Weekending 7/13/26

 Hello Everyone!

How are you?  How was your weekend?  Mine was filled to the brim.  Due to watching Iris 5 days last week (and this week too), I had a long - VERY LONG - list of things to get done.

Dusting was successfully avoided.  BUT, vacuuming was completed as well as washing/scrubbing the kitchen floor.  The library was visited as well as the liquor store.  Much cooking was done.  I made deviled eggs, chicken salad, two batches of cookies.  Dinners were cooked and salads made.  I also candied a bunch of jalapeños!


One of these jars will find its way over to C&M this morning (along with cookies).

The first tomato was picked and the Glads have exploded (with no damage from deer!).



If you click to enlarge, you may notice that the Glad blooms are outlined in white.  So pretty!

I also repotted some plants.  A new cactus was bought for my little camper pot and the juniper Colin dug up for me found its was to a new pot.



The juniper almost looks like a little bonsai plant, doesn't it?  I hope it survives and I hope it produces some berries.  That would be fun (and pretty).

Naturally I'm exhausted now, but am looking forward to time with Iris.  I hope your Monday has something good in store for you!

  1. I think your weeks are busy enough that it's okay to let the dusting go for a bit. (Maybe that's my excuse, too?) Those glads are stunning! I've got lots of tomatoes growing but none looks close to ripe. Maybe the heat this week will encourage them?

  2. Whew... I skipped the dusting as well last week! Ha! I hope you have a good week with Iris and even find a bit of time to relax as the week moves along! Your glads are gorgeous!

  3. That was a long weekend full of work, after a long week. This will be a long week, too, so I hope you get a break next weekend. Those glads are lovely!
    P.S. Not surprisingly, I skipped dusting last weekend, too!

  5. I did dust this weekend. It's something I have to be in the mood to do. Music helps. All the flowers on my big tomato plant turned brown and dropped off so now I just have a big green plant. The cherry tomatoes are still going strong. I'll have to just stick with them next year.
