#WeekendCoffeeShare: To the Rescue…
Share Your World – Week of August 16, 2021 Squirrely Edition
7-15-2021 When you just need to forget the world for a few hours, what helps you get away from it all? (Fuzzywig the Stoner Raccoon)
Oh that’s easy, I usually sit still for a moment and let my mind wander. Before anyone can say another word, I’m in my head wandering, imagining, and coming up with ways to finish unfinished stories I started long ago.
7-22-2021 If you woke up tomorrow with a unicorn horn extending from the top of your head, what would be the biggest advantage and disadvantage of your new appendage? (Mitzi the Horny FRIENDLY Unicorn)
Well, I guess I can always jab people with it but then people might stare and look at me like a freak. Unless…that horn comes with super magical powers? Otherwise, it will just be this thing on top of my head and honestly, I’m seeing more disadvantages here than advantages.
7-29-2021 What is the creepiest thing you’ve ever seen someone do, that you’d be willing to talk about, of course? (Snuggle The “I Like It Kinky” Friendly Bear)
Nothing comes to mind
8-5-2021 What’s the silliest or pettiest thing that tends to really upset you? (Rainy, The Wickedly Obsessive Rain Loving Skunk)
I wrote about this in yesterday’s post – people borrowing my stuff for an extending length of time, return it before borrowing it again. Some say that’s silly or petty but to me, it’s seriously upsetting because if you borrow my stuff, then what am I supposed to use when I need it?
GRATITUDE SECTION (Always Optional)
How comfortable are you with meeting others who are very different from yourself? (no judgment implied. Different in any way you’d like to think about – different cultures, different races, different mind set (opinions)?
To be honest, I’m uncomfortable meeting new people PERIOD. I’m an introvert with the world’s rarest personality type (INFJ) according to a personality I took. It doesn’t matter whether we are alike or the different. It take me a while before I’m comfortable with an individual.
When I meet someone new, my brain will do a scan to get a sense of the other person’s personality, behavior, and the like. When my brain deems it’s safe, then I’ll proceed. Like I’ve mentioned before, I have a knack for this thing.
#WeekendCoffeeShare: Fruits of my Labor
Good morning or afternoon, if you’re here in my house, I would offer you something cold and icy because guess what, my neck of the woods is under another heat dome. The high is going to be 97-degrees-Fahrenheit again today (36-degree-Celsius). It’s the middle of August, aren’t we past the hottest part of summer?
I finally got enough cucumbers to make myself two jars of pickles yesterday. These aren’t ready yet. They have to ferment in the fridge for 2 days. I can’t wait to try them. It’s my first time making pickles and my brine consists of apple-cider vinegar, white vinegar, water, sea salt, sugar, black and white peppercorns, and dried thyme. I hope it comes out okay.
I finally had my first and second harvest of cucumbers this week. As of yesterday, I’ve harvested 5 (large) Marketmore 76 cucumbers and 7 (small) Sumter pickling cucumbers. I find I’m not liking the Marketmore 76 cucumbers – its skin is too prickly – while the skin of the Sumter pickling cucumbers has little bumps like the ones you find on the mini-pickles.
And let’s not forget this big guy – 3 pounds 12 ounces. That’s a big zucchini.
I actually procrastinated at picking this guy. I watched this guy grow for 3 days straight and kept telling myself, “Let’s wait one more day.” I need to stop doing that.
Meanwhile, my sweet peppers are doing fantastic in the 5-tier vertical tower. It looks like it likes it there. It’s been such a thrill watching it grow bigger everyday.
I wonder, is this what a mother feels like? Watching her baby grow bigger and bigger each day?
You might think I’m trying to make you jealous, showing off my garden but the truth is I’ve never had a thriving, successful garden like this, ever. So I’m just trying to document it for myself so I can look back in the future and see the fruits of my labor.
I better get going, got a Toastmaster club meeting to get to this morning. I would thank you for joining me in this edition of #weekendcoffeeshare and hope we’ll both return next week.

Okay, I’m going to make this quick. It might be the caffeine talking because I’ve been feeling jittery, like I’m walking on a wire. Maybe I’ve been having too much coffee lately, trying to stave off the tiredness. So excuse me if I start talking in bullet points.
