The Simple Woman's Daybook


Outside my Window... it is dark and a little rainy.
 
I am thinking...going to bed soon.

From the learning rooms...i am learning to wait.

I am thankful for...a fun day out today shopping with my daughter and granddaughter.

From the kitchen...nothing is happening.
 
I am wearing...a denim dress with a black turtleneck and my fuzzy pink slippers.
 
I am reading...Moby Dick  

I am hoping....the gutters get put on my house tomorrow, and maybe the steps could be finished too!

I am creating...a sort-of new me.

I am hearing...soft music coming from my iPad.
 
Around the house...is quietness.

One of my favorite things...a cool, rainy day ~ like today!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...finding a quilter to quilt the quilt, learning how to use the sock-knitter i bought a while ago.

This verse has been very meaningful to me of late:
      These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace.  In
       the world you will have tribulation but take courage.  I have overcome
       the world.  John 16:33

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my Window... it is sunny, beautiful and a little bit chilly.
 
I am thinking...of too many things to count!

From the learning rooms...i am learning to trust.

I am thankful for...the blessing of family and friends

From the kitchen...i am planning on drying basil and mint today
 
I am wearing...a long denim skirt and a plaid long-sleeved shirt with my fuzzy pink slippers.  :-)
 
I am reading...Disciplines of a Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund

I am hoping....to lay out my daughters wedding quilt and start putting the squares together

I am creating...a place of quiet for me.

I am hearing...granddaughter working on cleaning her room.
 
Around the house...is quietness.

One of my favorite things...hearing the sound of boats in Puget Sound blowing their fog horns.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...working on the quilt, drying herbs, reading

This verse has been very meaningful to me of late:
      He said, " O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in 
      heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing
      lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their
      heart.   I Kings 8:23

And a picture:
a pile of quilt blocks waiting to be assembled into my daughter's wedding quilt.
