Planning: A vacation to Northern Michigan – hello AirBnB! There are so many choices, but I think we have narrowed it down. I am so thrilled that there are places that will allow pets…and Sherman is most happy about that as well!
Also planning: An overnight get away to somewhere nearby in the next week or two, this will make up for Steve having to work this weekend.
Enjoying: All the summer bounty! I am picking beans every other day and I am so surprised how many beans four plants are producing! The pepper plants are likewise producing an amazing bounty! I have picked a few yellow grape tomatoes, and I think that the tomato harvest this year is going to be crazy! Potatoes in containers seem to be doing phenomenally – I have mounded them with dirt to the top of the container and they are still growing! If this works, this will be the best thing we did in the garden this year!
Reading: LOTS! I cannot believe how much I have read since the start of the year – and this summer’s Book Bingo has really expanded my reading dramatically!
Watching: Big Brother… wait, what? Yes, I admit – I am a Big Brother fan. Summer and Julie Chen just seem to go together.
Anticipating: a weekend alone – this does not happen often and I am looking forward to it!
What does your currently look like?
I’m glad your garden is bountiful, along with reading! Between beans and zucchini here I can barely keep up and I’m also betting that tomatoes may overwhelm me, but these are good problems to have. Enjoy your weekend and future getaway and vacation – lots to look forward to!
Summer gardens – the best. Love home-grown potatoes…nothing like them. We’ve been harvesting beans as well…peppers and tomatoes are slowly coming along. Your upcoming get-aways sound lovely. And, enjoy your weekend of solitude coming up!
Wish I were close enough to hand you a head or two of garlic! Currently I am trying to get a hand on an out of control garden that is not producing as much as yours. 🙁 Reading (via listening), having fun around the neighborhood and being general busy. Life is good!
I love growing potatoes. It’s like a treasure hunt come fall! (Growing peanuts has a similar feeling.)
Sounds like a lot of good things are going on for you, that’s great. I’m intrigued by your potato crop … 🙂
UP? Or mainland? Part of my famly is from Ironwood/Bessemer and I love x-country skiing in the UP.
I’m packing for a trip to visit a friend in Berkeley, CA. Just got back from a long bike ride and heading to the showerQ
A weekend alone can be a good time to catch up on all the things you like to do just for your own self. Summertime in Northern Michigan – you’ve got me humming Kid Rock now!
I don’t like to be alone much but when he is out of town there are less dishes and a much cleaner house (just saying). I cannot wait to see where you go for your getaway. We were thinking of NYC in August but after our long weekend in Montreal I want to just stay put 🙂
