Quick "Week"

We're home for a few days before our trip to NY.  As usual, I'm looking forward to the trip, but have my travel "nerves" going strong.

Lots of stuff to do these next 3 days and I'm a bit overwhelmed since I don't have anything planned out yet.  I'll take care of that this afternoon.  First, an early hair appointment today.

Hubby already left for the airport for an overnight trip.  I'm happy to have a little space before a big social weekend.

Asheville was perfect weather, but it was another working trip -- I need to figure out more fun and less work.  I gave the house a total nitty gritty clean and got the smell out of the bedroom rug.  Hubby had lots of work calls on Monday before we left.  My cousin and aunt (from NY) were in town for a few days so they stopped over to see the house Monday morning.  No bear sightings this trip :)

The last of the cucumbers for the season -- 3 big ones.  Nothing else is growing and the leaves are rapidly dying.  Time to say goodbye.  There are more tomatoes to ripen and then I'm taking the plants out.  The cucumber is so intwined with the tomato plant, they need to come out together.  Cucumbers are absolutely on the planting list for the spring.  Tomatoes, probably not.  Some of the fall seeds are sprouting.  Not sure if they can handle no watering while I'm out of town 3 weekends in a row, but I'm trying.

On my list today is to use the steam rug cleaner for the front room -- not out of the box yet, but hopefully it's easy to use.  Monti peed and it still reeks, I'm sure it well saturated the pad.  As soon as the pandemic settles again, we will replace the bedroom carpets and put in pet-proof pads.  Fingers crossed this helps.

Temps are closer to summer again this week, but NY will be chilly -- hurray!!  

Have a happy day.  Later gators.
