Mailbox Monday ~ August 17th

Sunflower-Butterfly-Mailbox>Welcome to Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia of To Be Continued, a place where readers share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week.

After several years of being on tour with different blogs as the monthly host, the Mailbox Monday Blog is now the permanent home for the meme.


 
It’s been a fun week in my own backyard with my garden producing loads of delicious veggies, lots of flowers, and all of them needing endless amounts of watering. It was a hot week. I didn’t have to go far to watch birds last week either. Besides all the usual traffic at the birdbaths and the feeders, a nest of robins fledged and the youngsters were hanging around the yard for a few days.

Also, a few new books arrived last week . . .

  6. My garden is currently gasping for relief from the heat! Looks like your mailbox produced some pretties as well. I’m really curious about The Witches but they all sound interesting.

    I love the way you display your books with your flowers, etc. I miss green gardens…around here, even the lawns are pretty brown, (our ongoing drought), as people can only water once a week.

    Enjoy your books! Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

    Another beautiful display. I always enjoy seeing how you set them up each week. I know I have told you that before, but I like it so much. 🙂
