This week was about getting back on track. It is so hard to come home from vacation, isn't it? Sheesh. I think we all wish we were still at my parents' house, sitting around reading books and eating ice cream every day. But that's not real life.
Luckily we had a rainstorm blow our way. It came out of nowhere and left us drenched. Rainstorms like that are the very best part of an Arizona summer. Nothing lifts our spirits and cools the air quite like them. We are very happy to be entering monsoon season. Hopefully it will be long and plentiful.
Before I go any further, are you watching Poldark on PBS? Hurry, episode 1 expires in 2 days! It kept me company while I finished up some sewing projects this week and now I am hooked. I'm serious, it is really good.
If this week was about getting settled again at home, next week will be about getting back into our routine. We have cleaning and laundry and swimming to do. But first, we have a mouse to catch! It turns out that the mouse I saw about a month ago didn't just magically disappear like I hoped it would. In fact, it completely took over our pantry while we were gone and I haven't had the energy to do anything about it yet but fret. Our cat is officially fired. And the sticky mousetraps I set out didn't do the the trick. Help!
I hope you have a good (mouse free) weekend!

Poldark is awesome... It was on TV here in the UK around Easter time... You will love it. We're actually going on vacation next week to Cornwall and are going to the REAL Poldark Mine... I can't wait!y
ReplyDeleteWe had to get a mouse bate box from a local extermination company to finally get rid (and stay rid) of those nasty little mice. It worked like a charm!
ReplyDeleteaaaah, the picture of your mouse (okay, we'll just pretend it's only "one mouse"), having the run of things while u were gone gives me the willies!
ReplyDeleteoh sharon, are you saying it could be more than one mouse?! i never even considered that to be a possibility! oh gosh. i think i'm going to throw up.
DeleteThank you for the recommendation-anything good off season from my favorites (Downton, Midwife) is exciting! Hope you catch the mouse-we always have one every year, but have luck with a little peanut butter on the traditional trap (brutal).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Poldark recommendation! I'm hooked now! I also loved seeing Far from the Madding Crowd from your recommendation as well. Thanks for keeping us posted of worthwhile media! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked it, Katie! I had no idea Poldark would be so sweet and romantic. It's a total winner, isn't it?
