One of the joys this weekend has been looking out into our garden and watching our rock roses bloom. We have three of these bushes around the backyard. I just hope they continue to do well as it looks like summer temperatures are now here.
I did a lot of running around on and lots of chores around the house but I was happy to make it to the gym this morning and I even got a chance to do a home pedi so I can wear my sandals all week. Good-bye closed-toed shoes until winter. Ha.
My husband was pretty much busy all weekend with some co-workers who were in town from out of the country so no bookstore date night but we’ll just have to look forward to that next weekend.
As far as reading goes, I’m sad to say not a lot got done this weekend because I was spending a lot of extra time with my mom. I did manage to start yet another book so I’m currently juggling six books (I think) and I don’t seem to be near the end of a single one. Oh and don’t even get me started on my magazine stacks. Yikes. How do these multiply so quickly?
So that’s the latest. Now I’m going to enjoy a fig and almond butter smoothie for dinner and try to get a bit of reading done. This week is going to be another hectic one at work so here’s to enjoying the most of this Sunday evening. Tell me what you were up to this weekend.
I love all kinds of roses and yours are beautiful! En joy the reading time 🙂
Very pretty flowers!
My magazine stack is quite large too. I really need to make time to catch up with them. I managed to finish a book today and it’s taking everything in me not to go out and buy the second book in the trilogy and instead stick to what else I am reading now.
I hope you are able to get in more reading this week! Have a good one, Iliana!
Rock roses are so pretty and reliable in the heat! One of the six books will take control soon 🙂
So pretty! I love when they bloom like that. The smoothie sounds yummy, I add almond butter to my smoothies too.
I know, books just multiply don’t they? lol. 🙂
Happy reading! I’ve been slacking with my reading lately because I’ve been crocheting more while watching Sons of Anarchy. I’m hooked.
Pretty roses!
Wow I’m awed that you’re able to juggle so many books at the same time! I can only do with three books at most and I find it challenging already, lol.
Hope you’ve a great week, Iliana! 🙂
Not every weekend can have a bookstore in it. I guess.
That smoothie sounds interesting. I’ve never though about using frozen figs in a smoothie and when they’re fresh it seems wasteful to blend them up: good idea!
I wish I could get fresh figs here, and I would even settle for frozen figs, but options are very limited. I am doing well these days if I can even find dried figs! They are yummy. I didn’t get much reading done over the weekend either, so I sympathize, but I will say I am making good progress (even if it is really slow) on several books. If I just stick with them I might have a really good reading month when all is said and done. Hope you manage to squeeze in more reading this week and always nice to look forward to a weekend bookstore visit.
