The Simple Woman's Daybook

Welcome to...

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...

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.
