I’ve joined the NetGalley Wellness Challenge and attended the first Webinar on Thursday. It was helpful in explaining how NetGalley works and reminded bloggers of the basics for using the site. If you’re a book blogger I recommend joining the challenge. There’s another webinar before the end of the month.

Happy reading!

This is the river about 200 yards my home. We’ve had rain every day for the past week. No sun. Little break from the steady rain. Our pump has been working overtime. It wasn’t raining on Friday morning so I bundled up (it was 35°) and went for a walk. I like my treadmill but it was nice to get some fresh air for a change. I was surprised by how much the river had grown over the past week. As you can see Spring is taking her time getting to the upper midwest. The buds on the trees are an encouraging sight.
