The Simple Woman's Daybook

                                  Time to pause and reflect on what is going on in my life at this moment. You can do it too! Just hook up to The Simple Woman's Daybook  and join in.                                            .

Outside my window....the chickens are happily pecking about.

I am thinking....about how much fun I am going to have tonight at a girls' night out for dessert and coffee!

I am thankful....for all the blessings in my life.

In the kitchen....I have homemade wholewheat bread rising and will make a harvest soup for tonight to go with it.

I am wearing....light blue pants and a white turtleneck.

I am creating....the start of my garden.  I planted seeds a few days ago in containers in the house to be replanted in May outside.

I am going....out for dessert tonight!!

I am wondering....where the bone came from that my dog dragged home this morning.

I am reading...."Considering Doris Day."  It's all about...well...um...Doris Day : )

I am hoping....that it is sunny tomorrow as I want to hang my sheets on the clothesline.

I am looking forward to....the birth of our first baby goat!

I am learning....all about birthing baby goats and caring for a pregnant mamma goat and baby.

Around the house....we are working on remodeling my home office.  It is going well. 

One of my favourite things....is being home alone on a quiet afternoon and just "listening" to the quiet and spending time praising the Lord.

A few plans for the rest of the week....working one day this week, going to my favorite thrift shop another day, and having company for dinner Friday evening.

A peek into my day....

                                                            

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Here it is February already!  January was a good month and lots was accomplished.  Time to slow down and focus on our surroundings.  Here is this month's Daybook.  Link up at The Simple Woman.

Outside my window   the sun is shining and the snow is sparkling.  The eaves are dripping, so I know it's above freezing.

I am thinking about a flea market I will be selling at this Saturday. 

I am thankful  for a cozy home and a wonderful husband.

In the kitchen   I have dough rising for whole wheat dinner rolls.  I keep my freezer stocked with that kind of thing.

I am wearing  a pair of navy slacks, a white turtleneck, and pink cardigan sweater.

I am creating  a new recipe for dinner tonight.  A twist on the old familiar macaroni and cheese.

I am going  to look for new wallpaper later this week.

I am wondering  if I will have time to go to my favourite thrift shop this week. 

I am reading   the last book in a wonderful series called "The Country Road Chronicles", by Leisha Kelly.

I am hoping  that our pregnant goat will have a safe birth and not require our help.

I am looking forward to  warm, long summer days and spending more time outdoors.

I am learning  how to play the guitar.

Around the house  my husband is redoing my home office.  He made a beautiful new floor with wood he cut from the property, and he built a window seat and lots of shelves!

I am pondering  why so many of God's people are so distracted by the things of this world.

A favourite quote for today  is "Come unto Me all who are weary and heavy laden , and I will give you rest."  Jesus said this, and it is a wonderful invitation.

One of my favourite things is baking surprises for my husband.

A few plans for the rest of the week  include coffee with a friend I don't get together with often enough, an Avon sales meeting, lunch out with my husband, and having an Avon booth at a local flea market.

The Simple Woman's Daybook

I discovered a new blog today through my sister's blog at Gold in the Clouds.  The new blog is called The Simple Woman.  It is right up my alley as it is all about living a simple life on a homestead.  The woman who hosts it, Monica, does an excercise called "The Simple Woman's Daybook."   I am going to participate in this and invite you to do so also, by linking up at her site.  Here is my first one!

Outside My Window       Today is very cold and in the single digits.  It snowed lightly during the night so there is about an inch of snow on the ground.  Right now it is very dark outside as it is 10:30 PM.

I am Thinking    about various projects that I want to do this winter.  One in particular is to wallpaper my spare room/office. 

I am Thankful   for a warm, snug house.

In the Kitchen  This week I made some homemade soup.  It has lentils, cabbage, celery , and barley.  Boy, does that hit the spot during this cold spell!

I am Wearing     A blue pair of sweatpants and a pink sweatshirt.  Stayed home all day and was cozy!

I am Creating     Well, blogging is fairly new to me, so let's just say I am in the process of creating a blog!

I am Going    To bed soon.  It is getting late.

I am Wondering     about the possibility of having a woodstove by next winter.  I am tired of supporting fuel companies!

I am Reading    A Christian thriller called "Self Incrimination" , by Randy Singer.

I am Hoping     for a better night's sleep tonight than last night!

I am Looking Forward To   this weekend, when the temperatures are supposed to climb a little higher!

I am Hearing   silence.  My husband is in bed and all is quiet outside.  My two dogs are sleeping on the floor beside me as I type.

Around the House   I have been taking Christmas decorations down and getting things "back to normal".

I am praying for   a friend of mine who had back surgery today.

One of my favourite things    tending my vegetable and flower gardens in the summertime

A few plans for the rest of the week    I am working on Friday and having a Bible study that evening.  Saturday my stepson and granddaughter will be visiting for a little while.  It's been some time since we've seen her.
