A Simple Woman's Daybook for Monday, April 13

Outside My Window... beautiful live oaks and palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze

I am thinking...how thankful I am to be counted among God's people

I am thankful for...the opportunity to see dear old friends last week, it was a wonderful visit

From the kitchen...homemade ketchup that will be put right into the Heinz bottle, think the kids will notice?

I am wearing...black peddle pusher sweatpants and a pink tee

I am creating...something, anything on my new sewing machine :-) I have to figure out how to use it first...

I am going...to the amish farmers market this afternoon

I am reading...Nicholae from the Left Behind series and The Makers Diet

I am hoping...to get my home blessing done and work on changing my daily lists and routines to better reflect the season we are in

I am hearing...my daughter sing to herself

Around the house...the kids are really enjoying arts and crafts, especially since they can see everything we have to create with

One of my favorite things...hearing my children say "I love you" to each other, just melts my heart

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: to visit a local farm where we can get fresh milk, practice my sewing, re organize the master bdrm closet

Here is picture thought I am sharing...


Brotherly love. This was a few years ago, it is one of my favorites, aren't they cute?

I am hoping...to get the whole pile of clean dishes spilling our of 2, yep, 2!, dish racks put away today

I am hearing...the sound of children play elevator in the closet

Around the house...we are learning Ephesians 2:8 as our memory verse this week

One of my favorite things...the lovely aroma of chicken roasting in the oven...we will be enjoying that delicious treat for the senses later this afternoon
