Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone.

It's been the loveliest Spring weekend. Yesterday I got a jump start on gardening. I added rosemary, thyme, flat leaf parsley and cilantro to the herb garden. I couldn't resist some bright red geraniums at the garden store, so I bought a few smaller ones to put in the whiskey barrel at the edge of the patio. I added some allysum and and coleus (it's a big planter).  Now I shall pay for it, as we might get a light snow tomorrow, so I'll have to cover the flowers. Ah, well, it was worth the risk. This morning it was warm enough to have coffee on the patio and it was nice to see the bright colors. 

A pair of chickadees continue to check out the new birdhouse, however they have been reluctant to move in. Perhaps, we should offer an incentive. First month's rent free? I would love to have a new family there this Spring!



I gave it a good go, but I finally decided The Invisible Life of Addie Larue (V. E. Schwab) is just not for me. I read to page 127, but every time I picked it up, I wished I was done so I could start another book. I think that's a sign. I liked the writing style, clear and lovely images. The storyline not so much, but this isn't a genre that I'm drawn to. So, now I get to choose another book from my TBR pile. I think it will be Finding Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan. It came highly recommended and I am reading C.S. Lewis's A Grief Observed, which has me wanting to learn more about his marriage with Joy Davidman. FML is historical fiction, however from what I've heard it is satisfying and well-done.



Time to get moving. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

  1. Lovely pictures of lovely flowers. I like your latticework. We are going to be putting up some lattice in our back yard soon. I feel the same way about the book I am currently reading. I will probably finish it, but I just do not look forward to picking it up and reading. I need a real "page-turner" next time. Hope you have a good Sunday. See you again soon.
