Reading, Rain, and a Few Killer Deals

A big hello from our homestead......it has been raining for days and finally stopped Tuesday night...we are still swimming our way out. It's muddy and wet everywhere.

This is just a sample of how high our grass is everywhere. It's going to take the weed eater and a couple swipes with the mower to get it all down. 

Good thing we only mow the front 2 acres because if we mowed it all I would move somewhere far away from so much mowing.

Well you know how many of you have been sharing your killer deals you've been finding all over at your favorite department stores and discount stores? I've been shopping too....and since our town is made up of 3 gas stations and a Dollar General I got my groove on shopping at DG and scored my hubby a hoody, 2 sweatshirts and me a pair of sweat shirts for a $1 each. 

Woo-hoo! 

It's not World Market but hey when you are bored out of your mind you can officially waste 20 minutes of "just looking" shopping there. Oh....what's a city girl to do in the country when it rains?

Before I forget I got a stockpot for .90 cents and a new roaster for $1.50 Not too shabby for DG.

Reading is what I do when it's pouring down rain outside and I am finishing up this great trilogy by Nora Roberts called, "The Inn Boonsboro." It's romance and mystery and I so love it. I highly recommend it. I got mine from the library in the next town and I'm addicted to the library. They have the books out on display so they aren't all filed on the shelves and boring...you can pick them up and flip through the pages.

Another interesting series that I've been hunting down with the help my Facebook peeps is Linda Lael Millers "Montana Creed" series. 

I had been reading a series of books based in a town called Tyler and for the life of me couldn't remember that name.  It's a series of books about how a small town came about the history, the romances, and the mystery. Are you seeing a theme here with me?
Anyway turns out that it's a much larger series there are 3 towns each with several books in it. 

I'm so excited....my Summer reading list is here. 

Overnight I came down with a terrible tummy ache and my hubby has it too. 

We are going to take it easy today and get back to the painting and garden tomorrow.

Maybe by tomorrow night it will dry up enough to mow.

What's happening in your world? Any good books on your Spring and Summer reading lists?
