I got hit with a stomach bug on the 3rd. NOT fun. We did manage to drive up and visit with some family, and make some easy strawberries (idea from Pinterest!)
We hit a gorgeous sunset on our way back home on the 4th,
love those sparklers & city fireworks,
and you wanna see what I did with my garden this year?
I took a big roll of the brown paper they sell at home improvement stores and covered up the weeds,
then put about $16 of mulch on top of it. Do you know that in our experiment, the newspaper is actually doing a better job of preventing weeds than the expensive landscape material? Pffff to the expensive material. We’re doing brown paper and newspaper all the way next year, baby!
There is a lone tomato plant, but that’s it for this summer! I didn’t have the energy with all that’s going on around here, and I got sick of looking at the weeds.
And, on a last note, this was a $7.50 purchase from Target this morning:

and I want dinner to make itself so I can go take a nap in it right now.
I updated my top referring blogs over on my left sidebar….thank you so much to each of you that send someone to 320.
I have a garden planted but the weeds were taking over so I covered them with newspaper after pulling out the largest ones. I like the newspaper better than the expensive landscaping fabric, too!!

I hardly planted a thing this year either...a couple of pots that's it. I didn't want the responsibility this summer...I have enough already for heaven's sake!
ReplyDeleteLove your new no sew curtains! You have inspired me to try that! AND I bought the same hammock in red at Target for $7.50. It matches the new red lawn chairs I bought in April. Now if I can just get my husband to hang it for me. (we have to take a broken swing down first!)
