Impulse buy at Target. Totally worth the $49 + tax. Can’t wait to put these together.

Another weekend spent in the backyard. And, I do not feel guilty about it. This is my last full weekend of summer break. While I do not have to report to campus until August 7, per contract, I will be going into the office later this week. Hopefully, it will provide a smooth transition into the clown show that is public education.  

On a happier note, I am really excited about this succulent planter. It almost died this winter, due to excessive rain and freezing temperatures. And while some of my succulents are getting sunburned in this 100℉ heat, these little plants are thriving. Makes me wish I had room for a greenhouse in the backyard. Some day.

Got to see the boy for a bit today, and a little bit yesterday. He arrived midday Sunday, and brought a Titleist Aussie hat for me. Then he jumped in the car to join his high school buddies for a round of twilight golf. Today, we chatted for a bit and then went to lunch before his dentist appointment. And, just like that, he's back on the road to Reno. 

At least, he is happy and enjoying the college life. He is certainly enjoying his job at the country club as a course maintenance operator, along with the free golf and perks like $5 meals. I'll see him again this weekend in Tahoe. Meanwhile, the high temperature is heating up and my succulents are thriving...just like he is.
