Good morning! Today’s post will link up to Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post, and Book Journey, for What Are You Reading?
**Mailbox Monday is now hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
Finally our drought-ridden Central Valley has had a bit of rain. Those rainy days are always good for curling up to read…or watch movies. Outdoors looks a little like this:

Nice new books! So glad you’ve had some rain…here in NY it’s supposed to snow again late this afternoon, but only about 1-3 inches. There’s no room for more than that with all the snow piles from previous storms!

We are settling in for the worst snow we’ve had in several years. I’ve just spent the evening filling up every available container with water in case the power goes out, taking our well with it. A little snow on the weekend is fine for settling in and reading but I don’t like it when it’s enough to overwhelm us like this! Enjoy your week!
