Well I’m having Sunday Ramblings on a Tuesday because I completely forgot to do up a post for Sunday. In my defense I’ve been really sick with a terrible summer cold and couldn’t do much of anything including read. I’m starting to feel better so hopefully I can get myself back on track with reading, dieting, and blogging. Anyone do anything exciting over the weekend? Reading anything good?
I started back on my reading on Sunday so I’m finishing up Doughnuts & Deadly Schemes by Janel Gradowski which is just as good as I expected. This should have been reviewed last week so my apologies to Janel but I was just too sick. I’m finishing up The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood on audio and all I can say is wow. It’s creepy and sooooo good! Just what I needed when I wasn’t feeling the best and needed to take my mind of things. Next up is Second Life by S.J. Watson which I’m looking forward to and which is coming up for review this week. I’m also listening to Misery by Stephen King for the Misery Read-a-Long and it fantastic. It’s so hard to stop listening but the read-a-long is a month long so it wouldn’t be the best to finish it in a few days – lol. I also have a few book winners and they’ve already been emailed and responded but congrats to them a little late:
The Promise by Ann Weisgarber – Lisa G
The Dream Lover by Elizabeth Berg – Sandra F
The Mapmaker’s Children by Sarah McCoy – Shannon R
In summer news the garden is doing great. We’ve never had our garden come up so fast and I’m already excited for the beans especially but there is also zucchini, beets, peas, carrots, and potatoes. I didn’t take a picture but we’ve also got cucumbers, lettuce, and tomatoes planted alongside our garage. I’ll take a picture of them for next time.
Can’t wait for the yummy veggies!
I love when these little yellow tea roses bloom!
White lilacs are one of my favorites -wish you could smell these!
In Sammy news he’s the same as ever. His skin is slowly getting better once again but I’m going to take him in to the vet this week anyway and see if we have to check his thyroid. He’s been a little more sluggish again and while it could be the hot weather I want to be sure. So as you all know he hates having his picture taken so while these aren’t the best photos in the world they are all he would allow. LOL.
Mommy I want to go ‘in house’! Why aren’t we going ‘in house’ yet? (Why – because mommy would like to stay outside for more than five minutes)
I’m not barking mommy. I’m guarding you and the house!
Ahhhh, this is the life mommy… I’ll just wait here for you…
So that’s it for another week. I hope everyone has a great week ahead!
