It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (December 09): 12/09/19
Last week we had days of rain. In between the storms, I was able to venture out to Dry Creek Cottage to photograph the gardens and do some birdwatching. It's a lovely place on the border between Hayward and Union City.
What I read: Reading was slow for me. I've been spending my time baking and running errands. I had to go to the blood pressure clinic; my blood pressure was low. I'm probably done with going to the clinic for now. Also there was the walk at Dry Creek Cottage which generated a hundred or so photographs which I worked on.
What I'm reading:
Up Soon:

Comment #4: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:05:00 Pussreboots I can imagine that you would like Dry Creek Cottage. Comment #5: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 02:05:56 The photos are amazing and so are your paintings. So creative. Comment #6: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:05:00 Pussreboots Thank you. I will have new art to share next week. Comment #7: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 03:11:22 The gardens are lovely! Wishing you a great reading week Comment #8: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:09:00 Pussreboots Yes they are. They're always a delight to visit. I'd go every week if I could. Comment #9: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 04:20:31 I love your art - the egret is lovely... And isn't the scenery absolutely beautiful? Though you can keep the rain - we have enough of our own! I hope the coming week is a good one for you, Sarah. Comment #10: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:11:00 Pussreboots I would love to keep the rain. We certainly need it. I will finish the egret this week. I have a new exciting project to start. Comment #11: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 08:37:04 Beautiful photograph. I can see that it'd be a great place for birdwatching. Comment #12: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:13:00 Pussreboots If you're ever in the East Bay — you should visit. The cottage grounds are lovely. Comment #13: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 09:07:26 Dry Creek looks like it is a beautiful place to visit and photograph! I am glad you are feeling better. :) Comment #14: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:15:00 Pussreboots Dry Creek is one of my favorite local photography spots. I'm glad I'm feeling better too. Thanks! Comment #15: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 09:51:39 I'm impressed that you've got your up soon reading list all mapped out! I'm terrible at sticking to a TBR list- I just pick up things at random, it seems. Comment #16: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:17:00 Pussreboots I keep all ten slots of "currently reading" filled on Goodreads. It's not exactly a map but it gives me something to focus on. I have done random reading before and I probably will again some day. Comment #17: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 10:01:27 The paintings are so much fun. Pride Shoes is one I especially like. We've had so many birds at our feeders lately. I saw real bluebirds one day and I also saw some sort of pretty yellow songbird another. I'm eager to read the new Jason Reynolds book. I wonder what they do for low blood pressure. Have a lovely week. Comment #18: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:20:00 Pussreboots I need to get proper feeders for my yard. I had them at the condo but they didn't survive the move. I was being checked for high blood pressure. Had it been high, I would have needed medication. Since it was in the normal range and not borderline, I don't need medication. Very low blood pressure is a different problem — and can mean the need for iron supplements or other treatments. Comment #19: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 11:48:14 Kathy Martin We have had storms too - snow storms. I'm already tired of winter and we have months to go yet. Come see my week here. Happy reading! Comment #20: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:24:00 Pussreboots California had snow too, but not where I live. We're too close to the coast to get snow except on very rare occasions. Comment #21: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 17:12:06 I love your paintings! Your books look good. Enjoy and have a great week! Comment #22: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:27:00 Pussreboots Thank you. I'll have new art to share next week. Comment #24: Monday, December 09, 2019 at 21:28:00 Pussreboots It is.
