A bit or rain, a bit of snow, some sleet, and some hail

I made kulcha dough this morning.

The weather is quite disgusting, with overnight rain, heavy rain, sleet, hail, and snow. Now it has cleared up, but it's still pretty dank outside. A good day to build a fire and read in front of the fireplace with a cat.

Books:

A Regency Invitation, an anthology by three different authors. It's thoroughly enjoyable without some of the dreaded cliches.

An Intimate Arrangement, by Nancy Lawrence. This was a freebie from the library discard pile. I wasn't expecting much of it, but it wasn't too bad at all.

Garden of Dreams, by Valerie King. Freebie from Title Trader. This is also pretty good, although for a "gardening" theme, there sure isn't much gardening going on. The protagonist shapes up the gardens by hiring workers from the local village instead of doing things in a more hands-on approach.
