Sunday Post #303

 
Sunday Post

The Sunday Salon

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.

Happy Sunday!

It's been a busy week with work, cleaning and gardening! 

Lots of weeding

A cuddle with Starla

Galison Puzzle: Art of the Table by Joy Laforme


My son, his wife and two kids are out for a visit. They got in late last night and we went to a train museum. We took the mini train ride throughout the property and it was hot! Lower 90s, but it felt hotter. I was drained by the end of the day so I came home and took a nap. I hardly ever take naps.

Tomorrow we're going on a river rafting excursion on the Truckee River. We've done this a couple of years ago and it's a fun, gentle ride.

  1. Weeding? What weeding? Lol. I hate that and always procrastinate a lot!

  2. Good for you getting the gardening done. I need to do more weeding etc and this week will be 80 and cool breezes although the humidity is high, it feels nice. Nice to have the family there.

  3. I hope you are having a wonderful visit with the family, and the heat makes me tired too.

  4. River rafting sounds like fun in this type of hot weather. Hope it's enjoyable.

  5. It's nice to have family time! Although I am not a fan of that heat either! Pretty puzzle! Starla is adorable as always. Hope you have a good week and I need to check out your review of The Spirit of Love!

  6. Pat on the back for getting to the weeding. Gorgeous puzzle you finished and cute cuddly kitty. So glad you had a fun visit with your son's family. LOL, I can't keep up with young kids without needing a nap afterward, either. Looking like some good reading this week. Looking forward to seeing what you think of Asylum Hotel.

    Have a good week, Rachel.

  7. I put up a sign from the National Wildlife Federation that will help explain the infrequency of my weeding to the public, I hope. I am planting native plants and they can sometimes make my garden look a little neglected.

    Enjoy your time with your son's family!
