Well hello there! Where to begin? Last time I simply summarized but lots has happened since I last wrote. Let me begin with my homelife and then we will move on to the trip in July.
The garden and my house have been coming along quite well. I have chosen to paint my bedroom, really refresh the white walls and add one accent wall. Maybe the closet too. The bathroom is a large project that will take quite some time to tackle, especially as I want to change up the shower setup. mainly the expense of it, it will eventually take place but for right now I will simply commit to purchasing the supplies I will require and then take a week and tackle the whole thing all at once! The paint for the bedroom was inexpensive because I got a promotion at Ace Hardware. Check your local Ace Hardware because pints of Clark & Kensington or Valspar are only $0.99; limit of 4 per purchase. Ask and make sure you have a copy of the ad (or on your phone) because it is running from now until August 30. Obviously they don't want to give away this stuff and some stores may say that it has ended but it hasn't. Always double check. This is just a quick picker-upper for my bedroom, I needed a little flair to end the summer :)
As for the garden it is amazing! I came back to a bunch of weeds but prior to the trip it was beautiful. I can now say I am tired of eating cantaloupe, at least for this summer. I have eaten the cantaloupe, I have made it into a drink, now I don't know what to do with it anymore. I have learned some valuable lessons about planting cantaloupe this summer and watermelon. Corn too. I keep on eating but it just keeps on coming! Well I've harvested the corn, that is that for the corn but the chile is still growing and the melons are not done yet. Better planning will go into next years crops, much better planning.
I think this post will be limited to the garden and my house because I don't have all night for this! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

| So delicious! |
Wow, you've got a lot of corn and cantaloupe. Oh how wish I like cantaloupe - I just can't get past the smell. I do LOVE corn though. Hope you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the trip was fun! You know it's funny, I think like the scent of cantaloupe the most :)
DeleteSad how quickly your favorite fruits become unwelcome. I do love the cantaloupe. We were overrun by tomatoes and squash early this year. Giving it away left and right.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing the same with the cantaloupe, I think people are starting to get tired of my generosity. Your garden sounds awesome :)
DeleteLucky you - you have had much MUCH better luck in your garden than we have. This year we can barely get a decent tomato. We had a small pumpkin for a while, but it came off the vine...now we have none. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was a little overrun by the cantaloupe but I was lucky it rained so often this year. Maybe next year you'll have better luck :)
