Another Week, Another Worry, Another bottle of Wine.

JK! JK! (But only kinda. ;) )

Long weekend was wonderful. Took all the days to recharge. (With some friendly outings, of course. =) ) We're gearing up for a week long camping/canoeing trip at the end of the month now. Excited but also terrified. Mainly of pooping in the woods. That's when they Get yah. (Haha XD)

As always though, All the things. Finishing the linen dress and working on a BBQ post. I'm hoping to figure out the canning schedule too but my brain hurts already from coordinating this coming week (and it's only Tuesday). Lol.

Ah well. Life would be boring without challenge! So might as well embrace it.

Patio Season, The Sequel

My most favourite thing about the summer, other than warm weather, sun and camping (lol, so all the other things), is patio season. 

It seems that, at least up where I live in TO, there's lots of outdoor spaces, like balconies and personal patios, but no one uses them! I have most likely ranted about this before... But it really saddens me. Or more so makes me annoyed at ppl who have massive outdoor spaces in the sky that they use as literal shit boxes for their dogs crap so they don't have to walk them.  -_-

-DEEP BREATH-

I love patio season! Warm weather that lasts into the night. Sitting outside in the setting sun, BBQ slow roasting, beer in hand. This is my Valhalla. =)

In post update mode, I am still finishing my linen lace dress! Zippers make me afraid. So I'm procrastinating until the mood strikes me. >> But! I have a delicious stew post up! (Yes. Stew in summer. That's how I roll.) And maybe I'll even do a how-to slow roast a leg of lamb since in turned out so well this passed weekend. 

Also. Happy Anniversary to the Fiancé! One year engaged! I should probably get to planning more wedding stuff. It's like 11 months away still. It's fine.

Ghhhhrghhhhn

All the things. 

Do not want. 

But at least the plants are doing well! Yay! 

Summer is here and I do wish time could slow down so we can enjoy it.... Unlikely. Silly Andrea, that's not how time works. Ah well! Parties and projects keeping me busy. And soon it will be canning season. Stay calm my heart. <3
