The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
My heart goes out to the Southern Californians affected by the fires! I can't believe the devastation I've been seeing! I've lived in California all my life and don't remember having these massive fires we now experience on a regular basis. Climate change has amplified environmental threats to unimaginable levels. Scary times!
My husband traveled down to Southern California (north of the fires) to help our son and DIL move. I sent my Popcorn Balls (similar to Rice Krispy treats but with M&Ms and popcorn) and Rice Krispy Treats. My son loves Popcorn Balls and so I make them for him most times we meet up even though I'm not crazy about making them.
Popcorn balls & the butter you have to coat your hands in so they don't stick!
The weather is still on the warm side with highs in the upper 50s, but it felt colder because of some wind.
Out and about in the neighborhood: pond with some geese.
I sat down today (Saturday) and figured out my garden seeds: vegetable and flower. Seeds to start indoors and outdoors and the dates to get them going. I have several zinnia varieties. They did so well last year, but I ordered a few more varieties Queeny Lemon Peach and Queeny Red Lime because they look so pretty! I also ordered Cosmos, Scabiosa and several varieties of Sunflowers. I'm going for a more varied cutting garden.

Shooting the Moon by Brenda Novak-4 Stars
Shooting the Moon was an older Brenda Novak romance that, as far as I can tell, they're re-releasing by audio. It was good, but I could tell it was written a few years back. Remember When was a wonderful mature romance, low on angst. Shattering Dawn is the last of The Lost Night Files and my favorite installment.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media!
I've been seeing All the Missing Pieces everywhere so I grabbed up the audio copy. Earl Crush has a lot of high ratings and is by a new-to-me author.

How was your week?
Climate change is scary. Even in Missouri the weather is significantly different than when I was a kid. I hope those impacted by the fires in Southern California are able to find some peace eventually. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThose fires are horrific. I admire the bravery of the folks who are coming to stop the fires.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your planting plans. We got some free trees yesterday from Trees for Houston, two fig and two olive. Let's see how they work out.
Your planting plans sounds wonderful! I love planning my summer garden in January and February. :)
