The Sunday Salon: Off to Spring Break with Grandkids, Books, and Birds

 





We are very glad that you joined us here at the 
Sunday SalonWelcome!

What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

We would all love to have you link up and then visit others' blogs. Be sure to leave a comment when you visit others. 






Spring is Migration Celebration and Spring Fling and Open House at the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge. I will be volunteering at all of these for my Texas Master Naturalist group. 

My grandkids are off for Spring Break and I will be visiting them all over the next two weeks. We will be reading and doing nature walks and playing board games and spending time together.







What I Read Last Week:

The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley (Liked)







What I'm Reading Now:

The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Classic)

Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations by Frederick Buechner (Spirituality)

The Astral Library by Kate Quinn (Speculative Fiction)







What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:




I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:


Good Thing #1:
The garden is in the ground.


Good Thing #2:
Azaleas are blooming.


Good Thing #3:
Spring is here.




Weekend linkup spots are listed below. Click on the picture to visit the site.

        

I hope you will join the linkup for Sunday Salon below.

  5. Spring is trying really hard to get here. I left off my boots this week, but still have my winter coat on. I should be into a lighter coat next week!

  6. Well done on the garden! And have a marvelous time with your grands. I'm a wee bit jealous of your azaleas. We still have some time before that happens here!

  7. Have fun with the grandkids, Deb! Yes, spring is creeping in. Love your azalea picture. The wildflowers are just beginning to show up - I've seen bluebonnets in 3 places lately. Yay!

  9. The garden is in the ground?! How wonderful! I have a bit before I can claim that but I did clean out the herb beds yesterday and will top dress them today :-) It sounds like the week ahead is going to be so full of love and adventures! Enjoy every minute!

  10. That's great that you have started planting!! It's a little too early for us in South Carolina to get the garden in the ground, but I am planning to start seeds this week in seed snails! I've been hearing about starting seeds this way and decided I would give it a go. The only seeds I planted directly in the garden that did amazing were Clemson Okra. It was a sight to see. Enjoy your time with the Grandkids and have a great week!

  11. Our daffodils have started coming out but it's still a little early to really start planting. I'm contemplating doing a small herb garden this year but we will see. The Haunted Bookshop looks good and I'm looking forward to readin The Astral Library. Have a great week!
