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.
We had a quiet week here with a lot of rain, just over three inches here. Last night we went out with my sister and her husband to a new (to us) restaurant called The Stonehouse, built in 1857, the place was full of historic charm. Their homemade pasta and woodfired pizzas were delicious!
Today the weather was nice, warm for winter here so we went on a hike, then went to the hardware store and I bought some primrose to plant in the pots out in front of our porch. I've been working a puzzle while listening to an audiobook.

How was your week?
Your Deer Creek hike looks amazing. It has been raining here. I wouldn't want to be out hiking on a day like this.
ReplyDeleteIt has been raining bunch here to, but we've had several unseasonably warm days lately. We have sunshine today!
DeleteHiking in a beautiful wooded area looks fabulous. We still have very unappealing weather. We hope to see the sun in around a week (yep, it's really gloomy).
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It's a beautiful sunny day here today. Hope you get some nicer weather!
DeleteYeah for nice weather and a really picturesque hike. I was a little sad about the Rom Con. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's been a lot milder than last winter. I did like The Rom Con, just not as much as I hoped to.
DeleteThe Stonehouse sounds nice. I love a good wood fired pizza! And wow that first pic- love it! So beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteThe Alison brennan book looks excellent.
Have a great weekend!
Loved the Allison Brennan! Thanks- Greg, you too!
DeleteI love that trail, pretty
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful! It was nice to get outdoors. :)
DeleteThat hike looks amazing. I'm hoping for a few warmer and dry days this week to get some walks in.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some nice weather!
DeleteWhat a fantastic hike you took! We've had a week of freezing weather followed by a week of rain, but I hope I can get out and enjoy the world this week.
ReplyDeleteThe Missing Witness looks promising.
That's surprising it's still so cold in Texas. We've been having some unseasonably warmer days here and I'm taking advantage. Hard to go wrong with Allison Brennan!
DeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of One Of Our Own it was outstanding. I got some primrose and I hope they live since I think they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I hope to listen to it soon! The primrose is pretty and mine came back after a harsh winter so I thought I'd plant some more. They smell wonderful too! Hope your primrose do well!
DeleteI love trying new restaurants! We don't get to do a lot of that because of my husband's allergies. The photos from your hike are gorgeous! I hope that you have a great week and enjoy all of your new reads.
ReplyDeleteThat is tough when going out. Thanks, Carole. I hope you have a wonderful week, too!
DeleteYour hike looks amazing, I would absolutely love that. Have a wonderful week, Rachel ☕📚🪱😊
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was beautiful and nice to get out! You too!
DeleteIt definitely has been a warmer winter than I would like it to be. Just means our summer won't be fun. But glad you got to get outside and do some fun things there.
ReplyDeleteWe're cooling down this next week and yes, it was nice to take advantage of the warmer weather.
DeleteWe've had a ton of rain here, too. You're hike looks lovely! Hope you have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Thanks! You too, Hannah!
DeleteThis week has been unseasonably warm here too Rachel!
ReplyDeleteIt's always weird weather wherever you happen to be!
DeleteGorgeous hiking pictures! Doesn't look like January at all out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark! Yes, it doesn't. We're getting back to normal weather on Wednesday and there was a possibility of snow on Saturday. We'll see.
DeleteWe had lots of rain and ice this week, but I was glad to get out a couple days in my shirt sleeves to enjoy working in the yard (mostly clean up from the ice storm). Your hike sounds great and the pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYay for finding a restaurant with good food and character.
Have a good week, Rachel!
Sophia Rose
The weather goes from one extreme to the other it seems. Glad you got to take advantage and get outdoors too, Sophia! You too! :)
DeleteI'm glad you were able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. It's way too cold here to do the same. Plus, we're dealing with inversion right now so our air quality is horrible.
ReplyDeleteI've thought of doing a puzzle while listening to an audiobook but I'm afraid I'll keep not paying attention. Anyway, have a great week!

I guess the weather is behaving according to season where you are. Not sure what inversion is. You have a lovely week too!
DeleteWe have been getting tons of rain here as well. That fungus looks almost flower like! Weird!
ReplyDeleteI know, doesn't it? It was so strange looking I entered it into "Picture This" that plant identifying app.
DeleteLove your pictures. I always enjoy trying out a new restaurant, especially when they turn out to be good. I have The Missing Witness on my list for sure.
ReplyDeleteYes, when it turns out good it's so nice to add another place to the rotation!
DeleteI am working through an audio which I am moderately enjoying and a physical book I am really enjoying. I have a few of the books you posted on my TBR list. It has been rainy here as well.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that's a lot of rain! That restaurant sounds like the kind of place I would like. Looks like you had a solid reading week, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI did have a great week! Yes, lots of rain, and I guess that's typical for here. It's the reason why it's so green most of the time. :)
DeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful photos. 🏞
ReplyDeleteI never thought about listening to audiobooks while doing a puzzle. What a great idea! 🎧
I hope you had a good start to your week. ☀
I love working puzzles while listening to audiobooks! Hope you like it if you try it. Hope you have a wonderful week too!
DeleteIt seems like so much rain there -- hope you don't float away. But beautiful pics. Are you near Tahoe? I need to start a puzzle ... so relaxing and addictive. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe do get a lot of rain here. Yes, we live about 50 miles West and a little south of Truckee/Tahoe. I love puzzles!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous trail that is!!!! And that Stonehouse restaurant sounds like my kind of place!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was beautiful and the Stonehouse was delicious!
