Today, Friday, June 24th

Outside my window... stands an empty clothesline. Thankfully
the clothes made it inside before the rain started.

I am thinking... about my summer to do list.

I am hearing... the rain gently falling, the birds chirping outside and the hum of the refrigerator.

I am wearing... wool socks, jeans & a warm shirt... it's a chilly morning here in New England. 

I am remembering... how easy life seemed to be when the kids were all little and safely tucked in at an early hour.

I am hoping... and praying for each of the kids (young adults) knowing that they have a Heavenly Father who is watching out for them.

From the garden this week... the veggies and seeds are all planted. Now we need to wait patiently, but we did pick a little rhubarb!

I am pondering... over the verse, "Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better then silver or gold." Proverbs 22:1

Around the house... the house stands quiet today. I wonder what tales would be told if these walls could talk?

One of my favorite things... baby feet. These little feet are only

one day old!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

For today...

Outside my window... are reminders of things we need to do before winter.

I am thinking... about the dishes that need finishing

I am hearing... the hum of the refrigerator.

I am thankful for... the love of my family.

I am wearing... jeans, t-shirt, wool socks and sneakers.

I am remembering... to be thankful.

I am going... to figure out something good for dinner.

I am reading... Plan B & The Divine Mentor.

I am hoping... to have the water back soon!

I am creating... plans for Christmas projects.

On my mind... my sister in law & mother in law, both are ill.

Noticing that... winter isn't far away.

Around the house... proof  that  a family lives here.

One of my favorite things... filled chairs around the dinner table.

FOR TODAY:    March 31, 2010

Outside my window...  the drizzle is finally letting up, new blades of green grass are beginning to sprout up among the brown dead grass, the chickens are pecking and looking for any little thing of interest.

I am thinking...  about the homeschool curriculum magazine I got in the mail yesterday.... wishing that season of life wasn't over!

I am thankful for... wonderful young adult children that are such fun to be around! 

From the kitchen...  there is sooo much to be done! Dishes, dinner prep (heck, it still needs to be planned!), clean off the table...  uggh, I think I'll finish my tea first! 

I am wearing...  warm wool slipper with my jeans & t-shirt.


I am creating...  cloth handbags for some special people in my life!


I am going...  attack my to-do list with a vengence!


I am reading...  "Sitting At The Feet Of Rabbi Jesus" by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg. (a very good read!) 

I am hoping...  that the 'tax guy' will have good news for us!

I am hearing... the blessed sound of silence...  ahhh, the calm before the fray of everyone coming home for the evening!

Around the house...  the dog sleeps beside me, the hermit crabs are silent, the kids and Pete are still at work...  in a few hours all of that will change!


One of my favorite things...  peaceful, relaxing evenings with everyone at home!

A few plans for the rest of the week.... start checking out seed catalogs, try to find homes for 3 rabbits, rearrange in the back room for this year's maple syrup supply, sewing projects, and looking for a recipe for April's CanJam; choice of the month ... HERBS!!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
