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.

So many signs of spring on your hike! We still look grey and brown here. I love the puzzles.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
