Simple Daybook #11

For Today... September 29, 2008

Outside my Window... an absolutely gorgeous Indian summer day with brilliant sunshine and a temperature of +26 degrees Celsius

I am thinking... about how blessed we are to live in a country of peace

I am thankful for... a stay in Airdrie with our daughter and her family - and for safe travels coming and going

From the kitchen... a pot of chili, fresh honey wheat buns and banana caramel muffins

I am wearing... jeans, a purplish shirt and cute polka dotted slipons

I am reading... The Latest Morningside Papers by Peter Gzowski (a book we've had for several years)

I am hoping... that my whole family can come for Thanksgiving dinner

I am hearing... Canada geese honking as they gather for migration

I am creating... some birthday cards and taking photos for Ali Edwards' project A Week in My Life

Around the house and yard ... phone calls to make for Thanksgiving, farm accounting books to do, lawn to cut one more time, garden to rototill, some Thanksgiving sewing to do

One of my favorite things... the crunch of leaves as I walk in the ditch or across the road

A few plans for the rest of the week.... subbing in grade one tomorrow, accounting to finish, some housecleaning and Helayna's coming for a sleepover on the weekend!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...



So many poems and songs about roads that I can't decide on a title for this picture. Any suggestions?

Simple Woman Daybook

On a rainy Monday morning, I had a chance to do some online browsing and found several things worth noting. One of them is this blog The Simple Woman. I especially like her Monday morning activity so I've joined in today. Feel free check her site for more interesting reading - it will definitely start your week out enjoying a simpler lifestyle.



FOR TODAY - July 14, 2008

Outside My Window the flowerpots are filled with purple wave petunia blossoms, yellow and purple faced pansies, peach tea roses and fragrant herbs.

I am thinking about the visit we had with Meadow, Naomi and Jerry while Bob helped replace their leaking hot water tank.

I am thankful for warm and sunny summer days of rest and renewal.

From the kitchen banana brownies (recipe courtesy of Stacy Julian) and hamburger soup for supper.

I am wearing jeans, flip flops and a green tshirt.

I am creating a scrapbook page about last year's quadding trip to Nordegg.

I am going wedding dress shopping with Kelsey on Friday!

I am reading "Our Lady of the Lost and Found" for July's bookclub.

I am hoping for sunshine this week so we can the hay cut and baled.

I am hearing the CD Praise and Worship Songs for 2007.

Around the house things are tidy from the weekend but the floors need to be washed.

One of my favorite things is to sit on the patio, smell the flowers and drink my tea.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
- weed in the garden
- mend some clothes
- save my pictures to the hard drive
- visit my friend Carol
- bake rhubarb muffins
- make the bed in the guest room

Here is picture thought I am sharing



showing the goodness of my garden.
