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. I worked a bunch. My husband and I did a six mile hike yesterday and it was gorgeous and tough! After we went to a late lunch in downtown Nevada City, went grocery shopping and then came home. By then we were bushed! I took a nap, something I hardly ever do. I then worked a puzzle and finished up the audio book that catches me up for our read-along (finally!).

The hike was along the river
Milkmaids growing along Yuba River. They smelled wonderful!
Of course I worked puzzles:
1000 Piece Puzzle Completed: Love Stamps by White Mountain
A lot of fun to work! Puzzle 8/2026
500 Piece Puzzle Completed: Tuscan Afternoon by Galison
This was a quick one. Got it done in one afternoon during the snow storm last week. Puzzle 9/2026
1000 Piece Puzzle Completed: Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Werkshoppe. Their puzzles fit nicely together and the box comes with a resealable bag to store the pieces. I did this one during the snow storm, as well. Puzzle 10/2026

How was your week?
The hike seems amazing Rachel! When we were visiting the US (nearly ten years ago now) we hiked a lot as you have splendid landscapes and wilderness.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many beautiful places here!
DeleteLooks like a lovely trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous hike! I love seeing the waterfalls and the beautiful river.
ReplyDeleteThat love stamp puzzle is so pretty!
It was a gorgeous hike and I love that puzzle!
DeleteA hike with lots of nature sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day. Looks like the weather was nice too
ReplyDeleteIt was! We were tired, but it felt like a good tired!
DeleteKudos on your six mile hike! That's awesome. And such great photos. And my dad would have loved that love stamp puzzle. So fun. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! The stamp puzzle was a lot of fun! :)
DeleteLovely scenery on your hike! It was great seeing you on today's chat. As I mentioned, I was in Florida, but glad to be home. I did enjoy getting that extra time and seeing my folks.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun chat! My first with this read-along since I've been behind. It felt good to catch up. It is nice to get out for a trip, but always nice to get back home!
DeleteWhat lovely puzzles.
ReplyDeleteThe hike does sound exhausting but the scenery is beautiful, thanks for sharing
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
Thanks! It was tiring but it felt like a good tired!
DeleteSo many signs of spring on your hike! We still look grey and brown here. I love the puzzles.
ReplyDeleteYes! There were flowers blooming and I'm sure more to come.
DeleteI am sorry you had to work so much, but looks like spring has sprung so nicely and I'm glad you got to go enjoy it on a hike and then rest with nap and puzzles.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
Spring is starting to show up and it's exciting!
DeleteBeautiful pictures. Looks like nice scenery.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The pictures don't do the hike justice! It was beautiful!
DeleteThat is a long hike! Beautiful pics. And those puzzles are dynamite. You always have the best ones, like the Love stamps. It seems the Yuba River has a lot of water in it right now .... pretty fast. What a great place to hike.
ReplyDeleteIt was, but a fun one! Thanks! I am so addicted to puzzles right now! I need to reign in acquiring new ones and maybe rework ones I already have. The river is running fast! We get a lot of rain here for the most part, but it is still winter so it's especially full!
