Ready, Set, Jet!

Sakura is the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom – translated into Sakura, represents a time of renewal and optimism. The proud pink blossoms mark the end of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life, which is a major theme in Buddhism. I believe mine are ornamental plum but they are still a very pretty way to welcome Spring! We had snow last week and you can see the blooms are not as intense or colorful as normal, but still, nature finds a way. Quick video! Enjoy your weekend!
Okay, it might be wishful thinking as we had snow on the 16th, lol But the calendar says Spring is here and I'm going with it!
Hope you have an amazing Spring where ever you are in the world! I will be back soon with more reviews and maybe some actual trip pictures!
It's really a beautiful weekend in the Southwest! I've been spending as much time as possible outside, but when it's time to come in these are the things I'm obsessing over.
Here is a quick weekend round-up of what I'm reading, watching, and eating!
What I'm Reading: Reaper Man (Discworld, 11)by Terry Pratchett
I'm more or less a fan of Terry Pratchett - but I need small doses at a time of his British wit. My goal is to read all the 41 Discworld books, I think I've read about 4-5 so far. (I better get with it, no?) Currently, I'm about 110 of 352 pages in this novel and enjoying the book more than I expected. I will do a full review once I'm finished. In the meantime, you can read my review of Good Omens here.
What I'm Watching: Resident Alien
Looking for something new to watch? Anything that isn't depressing? I highly recommend this quirky comedy from the Syfy channel. This alien romp is based on a Darkhorse comic book series created by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. (Which now I believe I MUST read.) It stars Alan Tudyk and a talented cast of misfits. The comic series has been published by Dark Horse Comics in installments of four-issue miniseries since 2012. Five miniseries have been completed, and a concluding sixth miniseries is forthcoming. The tv series premise: After crash-landing on Earth, an alien takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor and wrestles with the moral dilemma of his secret mission, while also dealing with a 9-year-old boy who is the only person who can recognize he is an alien. (Wiki) And speaking of aliens...
What I'm Cooking: Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough (So much better than it sounds!)
Truth - I'm not a fan of cookie dough. I know some people would rather eat raw cookie dough than bake the damn cookies. (I'm not one of them.) But then I found this vegan, raw cookie dough recipe, and all that changed. This healthy alternative makes a nice dip or can be eaten alone as a snack. The simple recipe is here: Cookie Dough but be warned, you will be making this regularly. Have a great weekend! This post contains links to buy the book on Amazon, I receive a few pennies if you purchase (the price doesn't change for you) and it helps to offset the cost of the website. Morning Non-Traveling buddies, I feel like soon (maybe) we will be traveling again and the anticipation is soooooo bad! I don't know about you, but I'm so ready to go adventuring! But until we can jet, let's talk books. Today I am reviewing Gifts from the Mountain: Simple Truths for Life's Complexities by Eileen McDargh and illustrated by Roderick MacIver. I read this book last year and started the review but somehow the file was lost on my Mac. Does anyone else ever have that? One minute a document is there and then the next POOF! It's gone? So when it reappeared today I took it as a 'sign' that I should take a break from work long enough to finish this and put something new on the blog. Die-hard readers have been messaging me, trust me I'm still alive, just insanely busy! (I promise more new posts soon.) Now back to the book... Gifts from the Mountain: Simple Truths for Life's Complexities by Eileen McDargh
My Last Minute Thoughts:
This post contains links to buy the book on Amazon, I receive a few pennies if you purchase (the price doesn't change for you) and it helps to offset the cost of the website. More reviews out soon~ |
