Rainy day activities

Saturday was a beautiful, cool, sunny day. Dave and my brother David worked on our shed roof while Mom and I puttered around in the house.

Today was rainy and gloomy. 

Mom and I agree that rainy days are perfect for reading books! After watching a movie about Queen Victoria last week, I went searching for books and this one caught my eye. It will go to daughter Carol, who loves European history. She told me she won't have time to read it until Christmas break, so I'm reading it first.

I started this set of Dorset button and ornament yesterday, but I didn't finish it until this afternoon. This is another color that I never would have purchased separately. However, I think it's really pretty, now that I've worked with it.

I switched from non-fiction to fiction this afternoon. Jo Tulip is helping to solve a murder mystery. She's drawn into the investigation because of her knowledge of household tips. This one's a light read, and I'm really enjoying it!

Rainy days seem like the perfect time to bake, so now we have some fresh bread to eat!
