Sunday Salon-- A Slow and Quiet Week

-


 The Sunday Salon is hosted by Readerbuzz

Oh man it was a week, a very cold week. I live in Oklahoma, we are either Southwest or just South, not one really knows, but the point is, it's not a place for a lot of cold weather. We were slammed this week 
with temps in the single digits and wind chills is the minus whatever. I know some of you are use to it, but seriously I own a jacket...no coat...I WAS NOT PREPARED. Needless to say I barely stepped foot out the door.

Much of the state received snow, and we were suppose to get about 5 inches, but...ugh all we got was ice on ice on ice. I was so thankful that we did not have power outages. 

Here are a few pictures I took..the first one is from today of the lingering ice....


and this is the day it was sleeting, freezing, whatever it was ...


Atlas was out of school all week, so pretty much we just laid around watching movies, reading and playing games. We were able to get some butter made and several pans of cookies for him to munch on through out the week. It was relaxing, but we all got a bit stir crazy, and he is happy he gets to go back to Shul this morning and school on Monday. I am happy the 60 degree weather will be back, I need to finish my garden prep.

That is about all we had going this week, it was quiet and slow, but now it will be back to the busy !

Hope your week was wonderful, don't forget to drop you link so I can come buy and say hello!

    I have a friend in Texas who complained about the cold all last week. They aren't used to it! At least, she didn't get ice. We've had a harsher than normal winter in Missouri, too, but at least we haven't had an ice storm. I really think those are the worst since it's impossible to walk or drive and they so often take out power -- such a dangerous situation.

    And yet there are people who still deny climate change! I hope it warms up quickly for you

    Wishing you a happy reading week

    I am not used to this cold weather, and I have no coat either, so the last week has been hard on us here, too.

    The ice photo is beautiful. I'm glad you joined us this week at Sunday Salon.

    That is cold for southern Oklahoma. I used to live in southeast Kansas, and we got a lot of ice. I hated it. So I am glad you got to stay inside and had no power outages.

    We get cold weather where we are, so I have many layers and still complain 😂 I'm in the South East, UK so it's warmer here than other parts of the UK 😂

    It's sounds like a nice week. We have just finished the school holidays. My son needs the structure of a school day despite what he says!

    Have a great week!

    Brrrr... I would rather have 6 inches of snow than one inch of ice. Hope things warm up for you soon so it melts. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.

    Just because I live in the cold doesn’t mean I go out in it. LOL. But I do own a coat. I hope you have a wonderful week!

Top Ten Tuesday  was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.     My first Top Ten Tuesday and I am going to totally change it up!. The theme seems to be Top Ten Non- Fiction You Never Reviewed. I usually review unless I DNF, so I am changing it up a bit and doing Top Ten NonFiction Books on My Shelf I Haven't Read...I have a lot  GOLD DUST WOMAN BY STEPHEN DAVIS ** I am not sure why I haven't picked this up and read this yet.

It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  This week's subject is:   Books on My Spring 2025 to-Read List Listen, I will be honest, I am a mood reader. I do make TBR Lists for every season, etc, but I rarely manage to read everything, or sometimes anything off of them...But here is my list which isn't really a Spring list, but what I'd like to get read before I start on my Beach Read craze! Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering...

It Is Monday What Are You Reading??

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date It has been since October that I have had any fun with all the weekly things I do here on the blog and I am so glad I am back! So let's get right into what I am reading! NIGHT SHIFT BY ALEX FINLAY I really enjoyed Alex Finlay's previous book Every Last Fear, so when I saw Night Shift on Net Galley I knew I would want to read it. I am reading this on my kindle so I am a bit slower at finishing it due to mostly reading it at night when I do not want to bother my husband with lights being on...I mean I have to be nice, he gets up early to go to work. He tells me it doesn't bother him, but I feel like it is a nice thing to do! Here is the summary: It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end...
