The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY Tuesday,May 4, 2010

Outside my Window...The wind has died down. The leaves are a gorgeous spring green, so thankful for the rain we had yesterday. The Norway Spruces are covered in new growth. They're so cute and fat. The clouds are lavender and white, little fluffy blips floating through the sky waiting for the sun to get up high and do it's thing. The grass in the yard and the tree farm needs to be cut, BADLY!!!

I am thinking...About the things I'll be doing today

I am thankful for...A husband who loves me.

From the learning rooms...Learning rooms? What are those? Doesn't everyone know that learning rooms only exist with snow on the ground??? : ) Nah, learning occurs every day. Some of the things we've talked about lately: The difference between cash money and a check; the definition of the words "maintenance" and "cunning"; how to fix dinner without letting any pots boil over; the necessity of keeping a dry basement; etc.

From the kitchen...There's a partial pot of coffee sitting over there and nothing else. It's past time for me to go fix breakfast.

I am wearing...An Atlanta Braves t- shirt and blue sweat pant capris with the number 27 on the side.

I am creating...Creativity? What's that? I want to get my basement organized and "destinky". Is that creative enough?

I am going... To check on my bees today! Feed the new hive sugar water, remove the old queen cage and give them a new frame, check on the old hive and see if they're drawing out comb on their super. I'm going to pull weeds in my garden! I'm going to get the camper ready to be closed up so we can pack the wheel bearing and go camping soon hopefully! I'm going to do laundry and work more on my basement. I really am learning to lower my expectations. I think I can do all that today. :)

I am reading...um, I just read an article in MaryJane's Farm about a family run baking company in CA.....

I am hoping...I'm hoping for A LOT!

I am hearing... The refrigerator compressor running, a car going by on the road, and Alan and Savannah turning pages on the couch. Oh, and a loud yawn.

Around the house...Well, I still need to finish unpacking from our trip out of town. I need to vacuum.

One of my favorite things...Springtime!

A few plans for the rest of the week: I'm going to go see my sister this week!!! Going to take stuff to Goodwill and GET IT OUT OF MY HOUSE ONCE AND FOR ALL, house clean, office work, same ole, same ole.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...Katie Mae Loves Marmie and Papaw's chickens!
