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.
I'm back from Montana! Travel delays on the way there made it so we didn't get in until 2:30 am. However, we had a great time with my daughter, SIL, grandkids and another family with kids. We went played games and went skiing. Unfortunately, I caught a virus and I'm now sick. Congested, achy and I just don't feel good.
I didn't take hardly any pictures. It seems like we were busy and on the go so much I didn't think about it. I also didn't get much reading or blogging in.
The cats were so happy when we came home last night. They were meowing and running around. We have a house sitter, but I'm sure she doesn't dote on them like we do. Didn't get to bed until midnight.

The weather is nice this weekend. It was high 50s today and we get high 60s tomorrow. I was going to plant a bunch of seeds outdoors today, but didn't feel good. My husband says he'll do it with me tomorrow. I can just sit and point, haha!
I snapped a bunch of pictures while walking the property when I should've been resting. Blooming daffodils, primrose and cyclamen. I love spring flowers!

How was your week?
Your spring flowers look beautiful. Ours are not as far advanced yet.

Thank you, Regine! I hope so, too.
DeleteGlad you had a good time in Montana, but sorry you are sick. I hope you are in the upswing soon. I love your daffodils. Mine are blooming too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so, too! The daffodils are such a happy looking flower.
DeleteThank you for sharing those gorgeous flowers. Camellias are the most beautiful, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you are sick. I hope you are better soon.
Thank you, Deb! I love Camellias! So many beautiful varieties, too!
DeleteOh no!! I hope you feel better soon! Your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erin!
DeleteI'm glad you had a good trip! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank, AJ!
DeleteGiven the trip out was tough and you are ailing now, it's good to hear the actual visit was great. You went lower than I did on Oakley's book. I was a little let down. She is usually good for 4.5-5 stars for me, but I was not a huge fan of the climate activists plot. I agreed with a lot of your review on IG too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was disappointed, especially since it started out strong. I feel like the other plot threads really detracted. I did want to find out how it all turned out, so there is that.
DeleteI hope you feel better soon! It seems like everyone comes home from travel with virus of some kind, these days.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous. I especially love your display of camellias.
Yes, it does seem like that! It's either me or my husband that catches something. He caught something last trip and so I guess it was my turn. Thank you! I love flowers! They make me happy.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you're still not feeling well. Sometimes our bodies make us rest when we don't want to. It really is a mixed blessing ;-) You're blossoms are gorgeous and there is plenty of time for seeds. Enjoy your down time with your books and kitties, both true balms for the mind, body, and soul!
ReplyDeleteSo very true, Melissa! I just need to go with what my body needs. Yes, the kitties and books are a welcome balm for the soul!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your time in Montana! The flowers look beautiful! We are starting to get some daffodils blooming here.
ReplyDeleteYay for spring flowers!
DeleteI love spring flowers! Glad you had some fun on your trip and now will get some rest. I hope you will be feeling much better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thank you, Anne! I wish I finished Fate's Edge to join in the chat today, but things were busy and then I felt awful returning home.
DeleteIt's great that you had such a good stay but I am sorry you came back with a cold Rachel! Let's hope you'll feel better next week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so, too!
DeleteGlad you had a good trip and hopefully you are feeling better. My bulbs are just sprouting the green, and the temps are supposed to be below freezing tonight. I hope my daffodils will be okay!
ReplyDeleteI hate that when things warm up enough for the blooms to start coming out and then snow or frost makes a late appearance! I think your blooms should be okay. Our daffodils made it through a late snow. Some even had flowers on them.
DeleteSounds like you had a good time and sweet the cats were excited to have their humans home. Hope you feel better soon, Rachel. Lovely spring blooms!
ReplyDeleteWe did! Thank you, Sophia!
DeleteI hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary!
DeleteI always love seeing your flowers around your yard. You have some of the best, so pretty and already blooming. I hope you feel better soon -- traveling is tough but glad you fun there. Starla is looking happy that you're home now. The Bear Attack book looks a bit scary ... will wait to hear what you think. I've read one of her books. Rest up this week.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post
Rabbit Ears Book Blog: WORLD’S WEIRDEST BOOK BLOG!
I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour book mail all looks wonderful!
Wishing you a great reading week
I'm glad you had fun in Montana! But I'm sorry you came home sick. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry you got sick on your trip... hope you're better soon. The spring flowers are beautiful. Great book mail, too. I've enjoyed Beth O'Leary's books.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good trip (other than getting sick). The pictures are lovely, and it's so great your cats missed you enough to let you know how they felt about it, lol. And YES. Book mail is the best mail. I hope you enjoy Swept Away! It's been on my radar for awhile. 👀
ReplyDeleteI love the flower photos. Bummer that you got sick after what sounds like a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteBoo for getting sick :/
ReplyDeleteBut spring flowers! Lovely :D
