Happy February, Friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. We had beautiful weather this weekend and I’m only sad that I didn’t get to be outdoors because I had errands to get done and before I knew it the weekend was over. I think we’ll have a few more beautiful days ahead but definitely makes me wonder what happened to winter?
Anyway, we did go out to the bookstore for a break on Saturday and it was packed. For a while there I thought we were never going to get a table but we managed to snag one and then it was time to check out some magazines.
Again I can’t help but think how sad it is that so many of my favorite magazines have stopped publication. Along with Somerset Studios which I loved to look through I glanced through the latest copy of Daphne’s Diary and there was an article about a bike tour through the lovely Mosel Valley in Germany. We have not been there but let me tell you, this got me thinking and dreaming.
In book news I’m focusing on three books for now but I have a library hold waiting for me. Yes, a library hold. I think it’s been at least three months since I went to the library so I’m excited to go visit this week.
I hope you have a great week ahead. What are you looking forward to this week?
We’ve only just started seeing some beautiful weather. I don’t think it will last long but we took full advantage today. After tomorrow, it will be back to cold temperatures. I’ve not been much of a magazine reader but have always loved the idea of it. I do read the few that get delivered to my place but I know what you mean – there’s been a good number of specialty magazines that don’t print anymore.
It was a nice weekend wasn’t it? And I am so ready for March and April. Spring is my favorite season – not completely because the cedar goes away, but partially. And then the wildflowers. But right now, I’m so ready for the cedar to be gone. I think we are supposed to be having a cold day on Wednesday, so I guess we can’t count our ‘get out of winter’ chickens before they hatch. Have a good week!
It was rainy and gray here Saturday and very cool Sunday, so I got some reading and blogging in. There were quite a few cross stitch magazines I used to love. Many of those are not around anymore either.
Monday was 81 degrees here! Unbelievable. Although it was beautiful, I worry about summer when it comes. A bike ride through the Mosel Valley sounds wonderful, Iliana! I can see why you’d be interested!
I got a snow day today…a day where I got to stay home from work and read because overnight the roads piled up with over a foot of snow. I love snow days! And I’m heading to the library this week, too, which is always a good thing. 🙂
I saw a beautiful sunset after picking up a takeout dinner.
I finished a novel. I have two read 2 books for work and I have a nonfiction book from another library. I’ll start on them tomorrow
We are enjoying beautiful weather (finally!!!) after a month of rain and gloom. We had over 10 inches of rain in January. Ugh. At least it’s better than snow.
I’ve been getting far too many books at the library and not focusing on my own stacks. So hard when so many new releases show up on the shelves. Too tempting to ignore them. Today I got a copy of The Janes. I can’t wait to dive into it!!
