Our humidity is ungodly high, and we're having hot weather to boot this week, mostly mid 90s. But, hey, it's summer in the South. That's what we sign up for here.

I haven't been there in months, but I read on line last night that Michael's is doing Summerween all-in this year, starting I guess in July. At least five different iterations. One of them is based on Mean Girls, which means very little to me. But some of the other themes could be interesting.

Aww, that would have been fun! Wish I'd thought of it. Oh, well, we grilled.

I'll be saying a prayer for you and your extended family, that every bit of your traveling this summer is as festive and memorable as you could wish! I've never heard of a pattern like that one in your mom's family. I was born on a Weds and married on a Sat. I imagine most people nowadays plan weeke...

The younger generation at our house are both working this evening. I'd like to keep a Little Halliween observance, but am not sure what we'll be doing.

The mornings were slightly overcast, and it was hazy all day on Thurs, when I arrived. But the afternoons were clear and gorgeous after that. I think the temps were maybe in the 80s?

Oh, I missed your post bc I was at the wedding in CA. We had a great time, and I hope you all did, too!

Thanks, HH! I'm into the final countdown now.

That sounds like so much fun! Friday Halloweens are the best.

It's been many a year since I've seen a rabbit in our yard. The more likely culprit is a possum or a raccoon.

For 14 years we had a dog in our yard. I used to see rabbits then. But other fauna have shown up since she died.

Ooh, pumpkin seeds! Around here, my blossoms always get nibbled off in the night. I'm not even doing a garden, though I may put out some containers after the CA jaunt. Flowers for the patio, herbs for the kitchen.

My daughter has already decided that she wants to portray Daphne from Scooby-Doo Doo this year. She is already sourcing her costume, gathering the various elements on line.

Ha ha! 30 years ago I wouldn't have understood that.

There's an ancient cemetery in downtown Murfreesboro, older than that one but probably not as big. From time to time Boy Scouts will go clean it up as an Eagle project.

AWOL = A Wild Old Lady

I like that!
