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.
It's been a week of cold rain and snow. Our highs last week were in the 40s and lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. A new experience for me being from Southern California. I love it! Cozy nights with the wood burning stove going. Perfect reading weather. I'm wearing sweaters, scarves and coats. We warm up a little this week with highs in the 50s.
Our kitchen remodel is in full swing. The island and bottom cabinets are in. The top cabinets and hardware should go in Monday or Tuesday, but the countertops may not go in until after Thanksgiving *sobs*! We'll see what their schedule is.
This photo was on Tuesday and the photos below were on Thursday, so most of it melted in a couple of days:

Grapevines on my usual run
Went on a four mile hike yesterday with my sister and her husband but didn't get any pictures cause we were too busy chatting. It was cold but very pretty.

Yes! Sweater weather! Thanks, Jenni. I hope you do too!
DeleteThank you Rachel! I'm so happy to have your blog and become friendly with you. It looks like we will both have 50s this week. But we will only have 1-2 days of snow a year and I think you might have more.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Me too, Anne! We have very similar tastes in books and I always enjoy hearing your life updates on our Sunday Posts! Yes, we do have more snow days I think, but not as bad as somewhere like Montana or Minnesota (your prior residence!). I like a little bit of it but I wouldn't like a bunch.
DeleteSome beautiful fall photos! It's such a pretty time of year, if the snow can just hold off. Here in Seattle we've had some nice sunny days but COLD (for here) with highs in the low 40s. Looks like you had a productive reading week - hope you enjoy more books this week!

Thanks! I'm loving the fall here! Yes, it's been cold here too! Highs in the 40s as well, but it's warming up this week with highs in the 50s. I hope I do too. Hope you have a great week, Terrie!
DeleteIt’s beautiful where you live. Regine

Thank you, Regine! It's pretty where you live too! :)
DeleteWe had some unusually warm temps due to the residual effects of Nicole, but I loved it. I got to read outside in November. It's back to fall around here today though. Beautiful pics. Nothing like some brisk, fresh air and great scenery
ReplyDeleteIt is a treat to be able to read and enjoy the outdoors! Glad you got some good weather, Sam! Thanks!
DeleteOh your snow stuck...it looks pretty. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJust for a couple of days. It was pretty. I'm glad it didn't stick for long. My cat hates being cooped up in the house and I don't like to drive in it! You, too, Kimberly!
DeleteYour photos are so pretty! I'm glad you're enjoying the No. Ca climate, such a change from So. Cal.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really love the area. We'll see how winter goes. So far so good!
DeleteI am in no hurry to see snow here with the energy crisis and all! Funny how when you become adult you think more about the bills than the pleasure of walking in the snow ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine! That's adulting for you. :/
DeleteBeautiful pics! Love that first one with the snow :) We got a little dusting too and it's 38 right now. Welcome to the cold lol. Seriously though, that must be a bit of an adjustment after southern CA. I like fall it helps me get in the holiday season... but after the holidays I'm ready for warm :)
ReplyDeleteIt is an adjustment. I don't think we get that much snow here, but I might be ready for warmer weather after the holidays. I think it's cold for a good two months after, though.
DeleteLove those photos! We got some snow in our mountains last week which was awesome. But I don't love the cold temps this week. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up here this week. My cat will be happy. He's not been a fan of this cold weather. Cuts into his hunting/exploring time. :)
DeleteSome parts of my area got snow this weekend but it skipped us. The colors are gorgeous! Most of the leaves are gone in my neighborhood. I am crossing my fingers that you will have countertops in time for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we lost the leaves on three of our colorful trees. Still have two that are really pretty. I hope so too, but even if they're not here I'm having turkey dinner with friends and my sister at their house. It's just a hassle not having a sink in the kitchen. Makes cooking inconvenient.
DeleteLoving all the fall pics! We finally had a real cold front blow in this weekend, so I got to light my fireplace for the first time. It has certainly helped get me more into a holiday spirit. My tree arrives next week!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to light the fire for the first time in the season, right? Enjoy your tree!
DeleteOur first snow was gone in a second
ReplyDeleteYeah, ours didn't stick that long either. It's sunny and pretty right now. :)
DeleteI want nice, Fall weather, but noooo it has to go all Winter on me. LOL We had some snow on Saturday but it was pretty!

It's been in the 40's in the morning here in Vegas. I am loving it. I loved Dark Whisper.
