Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY, June 8, 2010...

Outside My Window...

The sun is up. Birds are singing and everything is refreshed from the brief thunderstorm and consequent rain last night.  It began with a hugh thunder clap that made me gasp and say out loud "Now what?"  I was watching a movie and it took the sound right out.

I am thinking...It is going to be a beautiful day!

I am thankful for...

The beauty that surrounds me.  I love all the green of the mountains, trees and my yard.  We have had so much rain that my new landscaping plants have grown emmensely this year.  The ground cover has taken hold and filled in especially in the front where it is on the north side.  I love to see the new flowers come up.  I planted holly hocks last year and they are up and will bloom this year.  The sound of my gurgling fountain is a lovely sound too.

From the kitchen...

Some leftovers from yesterday's dinner--pork loin with balsamic glaze,  and lemon tart. 

I am wearing...--

My workout clothes--black crop pants and green T-shirt.  that says Sun on one side and Shine on the other.  I am really considering getting me a shirt like the one I saw a man wearing at the gym.  It said Heavy on one side and Weight on the other.  Wouldn't that be somethng! I can't wait to get showered and wear my capris for the first time this season.  It is so nice to have weather condusive to them.

I am creating...

kind of a mess with the clothes and things I will be taking on my trip all laid out on the floor so I won't forget to pack them next week.

I am going...

to Costco today to get some books .  If they don't have the book I am looking for, then I'll be stopping by the book store.  Also I have to take back my Italian tapes to the library.

I am reading...  The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright.  I friend highly recommends this book and gave a copy to me so it is next on my list.

I am hoping...

That I will be able to collect my thoughts and get a good list made of things I need to take on my trip.  I seem to be easily distracted and lose my concentration.

 

I am hearing...
A chorus of birds outside my window.  I know they are as happy as I to have the nice weather and sunshine.  They especially love our new rainfall.

Around the house...
I want to put up some plaques I made to label the rooms down a hallway today.

One of my favorite things...
Is eating which has some negative results.  I will try to do better this week.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
I will be taking care of my grandchildren beginning Saturday for a few days so that will be fun.  I know that one thing on their list is going to the pool!

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Last day of preschool.  Pioneer Party
