Miscellaneous Monday and NEW stuff i gotta share

Happy Monday!

Boy, has life been busy! Unfortunately, this little blog is one of the first things to get neglected when that happens.

So, here’s an update and a bit of miscellany:

I’ve crossed off a couple of waterfalls on my “100 Waterfalls Bucket-list“. We took a trip to New York and while we were there, we visited Talcott Falls and Pixley Falls. We also visited Niagara Falls again (I assume it wouldn’t be fair to count those falls again)! And this last weekend we hiked to Stewart Falls, here in Utah.

We also visited a few lighthouses. Here’s a favorite B/W photo of one of them:

I hosted my book club last month and wanted to try a grazing table. It was so, so, SO easy! But it made an impression! Here’s what we had:

The ladies in our group don’t eat a whole lot, but with this idea, all I had to do with the left-overs was load all of the snacks back in containers and my family had snacks for the rest of the ~~week~~ month!

educated

The book we discussed was Educated by Tara Westover. It’s a GOOD discussion book! Other books I’ve read (or listened to lately) are:

That seems like a lot of reading to get done, especially since I mentioned I’ve been so busy, but it’s been a few months since I’ve done a Miscellaneous Monday! AND, I think most have been listened to in the car on my commutes! Gotta love multi-tasking!

OK! That’s about it for this week. I’ve gotta go do some gardening. Yes, my flower gardens have also been neglected, and the vegetable garden is currently a weed patch!

Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

Love your grazing table and selection of books (some I hadn’t heard of). My book club will be reading Educated soon. I’m going to look up some of the others. Beautiful lighthouse and great in black and white!

I very much love your photos of the waterfall and lighthouse. I do like BW photos because tones are more pronounced. And waterfalls are always lovely captures!

The grazing table is a neat idea and I totally want to do that. Because, as you say, even if things don’t get eaten, you can scoop it all up into containers when the event is over and you’ll have snacks for the next month. Don’t you just love audio books? I’ve read a whole bunch in the past month, and it’s because I read while I have been working in the yard. Good for you reading so much! Your lighthouse photo is perfect in black and white, and I love that you have a waterfall bucket list. ❤

I read Educated and thought it was excellent. It’s amazing how the author managed to get out of that house and go to college and beyond – very inspiring. I want to read Where the Crawdads Sing and will get to it eventually – so many books – thanks for the good ideas! Also, I love that lighthouse picture 🙂
