It’s the middle of August, which means it’s hot where I live. I imagine it might be hot where you live, too.
There are some things that nobody wants to do when it’s this hot - like putting on a new roof or welding. For me, whose house is PURRRRFECT and doesn’t need those things anyway, being hot meant I didn’t want to read anything too heady or technical as I sweated my way around blogland this week. I simply didn’t want to think too much.
So, I spent some time at Freshome.
In the architecture department, I indulged my senses with beautiful photos of gorgeous homes from around the world. Click the View More button at the bottom of any post and you will be treated to a stunning display.
Here’s a picture montage of a totally different kind. Aaron Whomsley is a handyman who runs what he calls a “light construction company” in West Chester, PA. This week, he features a lovely kitchen renovation he’s recently completed. Thirteen photos. Beautiful work. I wish this guy lived near me. A good handyman is a good find.
There are nice photos throughout the posts on Rambling Renovators, but I am especially drawn to their occasional feature called Love List. Shouldn’t everyone have a love list?
This blog, Brick House, is sorta the opposite of a love list. Read the FAQs (tolerable even in heat) and then look at the pictures.
And, one day, when the temps dropped a little, and I managed to focus on two words next to each other, I really enjoyed this post at Garden Rant. I think they make some sense . . . but they also could be kinda lunatics. What do you think?
Happy weekend! Keep cool.
