The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...

I am looking at the gardens, and seeing some almost ripe tomatoes.

I am thinking...

About when my car goes in for repairs how I will get back home. The place is about 25 miles away from home.

I am thankful...

To God for providing me with all that I have, and all that I need.

In the kitchen...

Beef stir fry with vegetables and brown rice. Three ingredient peanut butter cookies later.

I am wearing...

Black capris and a pale green tank top. As always sox on my feet.

I am creating...

I was making a baby blanket, but temporarily stopped to make a pair of slippers for my cousin's wife.

I am going...

In 1 1/2 weeks to visit my 91 year old aunt. I go every other month to see her for a few days. She lives 3 hours away from me.

I am wondering...

When the mechanic is going to call with his estimate.

I am reading...

"The Year We Disappeared" by Cylin Busby and John Busby

John Busby was a police officer who was shot by a person he had helped to put in prison. As a result of this he and his family had to go into hiding. 

It is a very good book, but it does have lots of details that might make some people queasy.

I am hoping...

That the beautiful weather holds for a few more days. I love it when the high temps are only in the  70's. I feel much more capable of doing something outside than when it is blasted hot.

I am looking forward to...

Going and having my make-up updated. I haven't purchased a complete new set of make up in way too many years. My skin tone has changed as well the shape of my eyes. I need to have new colors. 

I am learning...

How to edit my photos more effectively

Around the house...

I am sorting through many bags and boxes and bins of yarn. Sorting it out and deciding what to keep, what to give away, and what to donate.

I am pondering...

Why it is I am not pondering anyting.

A favorite quote for today...

Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes.

Clare Ansberry, The Women of Troy Hill

One of my favorite things...

New baby kitties. Older cats. Cats of any size, shape, or color.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Finish sorting yarn, finish slippers, laundry, weed the garden

A peek into my day...

And there is at least this much more to sort through.
