With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC, or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it. And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*
I am linking up with Caffeinated Reviewer and Reading Reality and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Sunday Post #167
Last Sunday I visited some blogs, created new blogging content, took care of the seeding project, and read a book. In the early hours of Monday morning, I started watching the Super Moon. It was a great experience, watching the moon change with my own eyes. The pictures I took weren´t as great. Sorry, no pictures here.
All week long we had weatherwise a mix of sun, warm if not hot temperatures, and a bit windy. The rain that was supposed to come down, didn´t show up and I started wondering how things will be in summer. Below you can see the peony before the storm.
For Thursday and Friday, we got a severe weather warning. So I went down Thursday afternoon to take some last “before” pictures. I was right in time because the show started after I was back upstairs. Within minutes all I could see outside was a grey wall of rain. The result: some damaged flynets and my peony got hit. The picture below shows the peony after the storm hit her.
After a busy day cleaning up the mess the storm had left, I went to the supermarket Saturday morning. On my way there I saw the damage; the storm had caused. I had to step across some broken branches, and the small river wasn´t that small anymore. Later, I worked a few hours and in the early afternoon, I took care of the lilac. He is already faded, and it took me about an hour to cut the huge bush. In the end, I´ve had a nice workout and stretching…
How was your week? Stay safe and healthy.
Happy reading
It's been about the same here- warm but not too much. Rainy. Sorry to hear about th storm damage. Hope you had a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt isn´t nice to see the peony like that, but this year things are different anyway.
DeleteI love the color of your flowers! I'm so sorry the storm left them like that :(
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, it hurts a bit that they are down now but they will come next year again *smile*
DeleteYes, the weather has been kind of crazy here too. I read about a tornado or something like it in Germany? Crazy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading.
Yes, there was one a bit further north from where I live. I saw the damaged houses and roofs on TV. It is terrible to see how everything looks now.
DeleteUrg! Your poor peony! The before and after pics certainly gave vivid evidence as to just how severe it was. Let's hope you don't have too many of those to deal with. Yes... it's always sad when lilacs finally fade - they not only look fantastic, but they smell delicious too. I hope you're having a great week and many thanks for swinging by:).
ReplyDeleteLast year, the lilac was in bloom almost three weeks. This year it was only a one week pleasure.
DeleteUrg! Your poor peony - your before and after pics are vivid evidence of just how severe the storm was - let's hope there aren't too many more of those. I hope you have a more peaceful week:).
ReplyDeleteYes, the peony is my pride. But she will bloom next year again *smile*
DeleteWe have similar weather here too! Not great for flowers!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about planting the peony in another place. Maybe that helps *sigh*
