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

 




Welcome! I am delighted that you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. 

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. 





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 in March and April.

My grandkids are off for Spring Break and I am visiting them all. We hope to go on some nature walks and read some books together and have some picnics. 







What I Read Last Week:

The Astral Library by Kate Quinn (Speculative Fiction)








What I'm Reading Now:

The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Classic)

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




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. Because I am off in East Texas with limited Internet, I shall share a few old Good Things from previous visits:


Good Thing #1:

G-kids Lucy and Bailey.




Good Thing #2:

G-kids Annie and Wyatt.





Good Thing #3:

The beauty of an East Texas morning.




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.

    Oh, that photo of the misty sun and trees is stunning! It looks like a painting! I'm glad you're having such a good time with all the grandkids, Deb. And I'm inspired to read The Astral Library having read your review on Goodreads. I wasn't sure it was for me, but I think I'll enjoy the literary references/jokes. Have a great weekend!

    You finished some fabulous books - Quinn's is on my holds list and I just borrowed Ung's book. Sounds like an educational book for this time. Your plans for Spring Break sound gentle. Certainly a good ambiance to bond even more. Thank you for sharing.
