I feel like all I've been doing lately is working in the garden/backyard (and honestly no complaints there, I love it) but it leaves little time for anything else. However, I know once all the initial work of planting is done I will be able to get back to other things like reading.

It wasn't supposed to be hot today, and realistically it isn't. But, for some reason 18C/64F in full sun feels absolutely roasting. Garden work will be slow today with many breaks.

I can't decide what book to read next. Every book on my TBR sounds like the perfect read right now. I may have to have hubby pick for me.

Hubby and I spent the last few days working on various projects in the backyard. We pulled down a trellis that wasn't in a good spot, that area will be turned into a mini orchard. We also worked on setting up a sitting area that will also have a container garden in it.

Ended up going to the city today and that meant stopping by the used bookstore. I found a few non-fiction books that caught my eye. #booksky 💙📚

I have been absolutely devouring books lately, to the point where if I'm not reading then I'm sleeping. It's been fantastic, but I know at some point I need to do stuff other than reading or else the house and my life will fall into utter chaos. Until then, I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

Hit up a large garage sale today. The book section was a bit slim but I found a few books, though it was mostly cookbooks. I also found a blu-ray to add to my collection.

I spent nearly all of yesterday reading and now I am dealing with a case of readeritis, which is a fancy way of saying my shoulder and new muscles are sore from holding a book for hours on end.

We're finally getting rain! I've never been so happy to not be able to work in the garden. I will happily spend the day inside while we get the much-needed rain.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! I have greatly appreciated his ability to bring nature into our homes, showing us lands and species we might have otherwise not heard about. Of course, one of my favorite moments of his is the outtakes with the Bird of Paradise.

Today is ever so slightly cooler than the last few days, which allowed me to transplant the blueberries into the berry patch. It's been slow going in the garden because of the heat, but technically it's still too early to plant most of it so it's mostly getting beds ready to plant and weeding.

I ended up getting distracted by random tasks about the house, but now it's time to sit down and do some reading. I decided to go with Cultivation by Seth Ring, book 3 of the Battle Mage Farmer series.

It's another hot day but it's supposed to cool down this weekend. Managed to get some outside work done before th full heat of the day hit. Now, I hide inside where it's slightly cooler and do some reading.

It's too hot to be working in the garden today. So, instead, I will be working to add all of my books to my Kindle before that ability is taken away in a couple of weeks.

Been busy in the garden the last few days. However, it's also been getting hotter with each days passing, so I'm at the point where I'm spending less time out there and more time cooling down since I've not yet acclimated to the warmer temps.

Another busy day, still lots to do before the backyard and garden are fully ready for spring planting, but I squeezed in a trip to the library to pick up more books and a movie. #libraryhaul #booksky 💙📚

I've been fairly busy the last few days, but even so, I did manage to squeeze in reading time here and there. It took four days but I read the entire Library Wars: Love & War series and I loved it! I really need to remove that darn library sticker from the first volume.

My latest library haul. Since I'm still reading the books I borrowed during my last visit, I only grabbed DVDs. #libraryhaul

Made some honey glazed donuts and proceeded to eat 2 of them for lunch. It's fine, we were already planning a veggie heavy dinner, so it all balances out.

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and getting groceries did not help my mood. However, a long cuddle session with my dog and then taking her for a walk has helped. I might make donuts to improve the day even more.

Happy National Anime Day! I think I'll spend a good chunk of today trying to catch up on my giant backlog of to-watch anime - not that I need an excuse to watch anime.

Happy Burt Gummer Day! And if you don't know what I'm talking about, I highly suggest you go watch the movie Tremors.

Last night, I finally finished reading my first book of April, Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage. I've already put a library hold on the next book in the series but until that arrives I need to figure out what I will read next.

Stopped by the local nursery today and picked up a couple of blueberry plants. We had bought and planted 6 last year but they all died (we're working with that company to either get a refund), so figured I better start replacing those.

Between the kitchen, garden, and laundry, my day was FULL. It's that busy time of year and I feel like I'm constantly running around trying to keep up, but I love it, especially the end result of all the hard work.

I had a strong hankering for buttermilk biscuits, so I whipped up a batch.

It's a beautiful day out, despite it being a bit smoky from a nearby wildfire, so I did some more garden bed prep and also planted a few more trays of seeds. Planted spinach, swiss chard, onions, and 3 varieties of cabbage. Can't wait til I can actually plant things outside in a month or so.

I barely use my Kindle but this is frustrating because the device works perfectly and come May it'll be a fancy paperweight because they won't allow me to send books to it. Guess I won't be reading e-ARCs anymore either, since I doubt they will let me use send-to-kindle when they push this through.

I made the decision to DNF Ouran High School Host Club. I loved the anime series but I have tried to read the manga twice and both times only reached volume 7 before I lose interest.

My latest pickups from the library. A couple of books, plus a movie and a TV series to keep me entertained. Could I have watched Person of Interest on Netflix? Yes, but I chose to get the DVD from the library instead. #booksky 📚💙 #libraryhaul

Had a decently busy day of knocking out more of my backlog to-do list. We ended it off with cake and watching Armageddon, so I'd call it a success.

Today I'm playing a bit of catch up, with numerous things I hope to get done but I won't sweat it if I don't get to everything. On the list is: -laundry -bake a cake -clean the kitchen -empty out inbox -plant seeds -blog work -read -watch Armageddon +other things that need attention

I did not plan to disappear again but let's just say March was...a month. It wasn't terrible but I just couldn't be bothered most days. I'm hopeful April will be much better but taking things mostly one day at a time.

After a busy day of catching up on housework, I made sure to run to the library before it closed to pick up my latest hold. I've really been enjoying this series, and I'm sure I will finish it next month at the rate I'm reading.

After a solid week of doing nothing but gaming and sleeping (it was a blast), I am ready to return to reading and other regular activities. All I want to do today is read. Since I just borrowed the audiobook of Depths of Vanalf from the library, that will likely be my first read of the month.

🐎🌲🔥 New post! A reread review of THE WINTERNIGHT TRILOGY by Katherine Arden #fantasy fallingletters.ca/2026/02/the-...

Less than an hour before I am knee-deep into gaming, and not much else for a solid few days. Needless to say, I'll be on the quiet side, but after that, I should be back to my regular schedule - as erratic as that "regular schedule" is. 😂

Pulled the first batch of pizza breadsticks out of the oven about 5 minutes ago, and yeah, these aren't gonna last long. They never do, but something about still warm from the oven bread just makes them so addictive to eat.

Today is going to be decently busy. I'm trying to get a bunch of stuff done before early access for World of Warcraft: Midnights comes around. So it's going to be a hectic couple of hours. Took the dog for a walk despite the crazy wind, and now I'm baking some gaming snacks.

We had an early family movie night this week. We normally do them on Saturday, but there are some things that will keep us from doing it then, so we figured, why not do it tonight. We ended up watching Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde.

Swung by the library to pick up a few movies and noticed the book sale section was full. Found some books to bring home, and I think I'm in a mystery mood because they all happen to be mystery books. #booksky #libraryhaul

I didn't find much at the book sale, but I also didn't walk away empty-handed. I grabbed these two books plus a stack of old gardening magazines.

Book Review: The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith exploringallgenres.com/the-library-... #booksky 📚💙

There's a book sale in town today, and I am excited to go. I have no idea what kind of books they will have, but even if I simply end up perusing the selection, that will be fun.

I've delayed finishing this book by several hours because I did not want it to end, but I think it's time to experience the conclusion of the story. I know I will be requesting the sequel from the library immediately.
