Outside my window... Lovely Day, cloudy but spring is starting to wakeup here and it is lovely.

I am thinking... that those scones I made for breakfast smell SO good.

From the learning rooms… we are starting to wrap up school just a few more weeks of learning about flying, weather, and the many wonderful things Winter Promise has opened our minds to this year. We are making airplanes today out of wrapping paper rolls and cardboard boxes.

I am thankful for…the many things around me that I seem to close my mind to and when something jars me to see those blessings not the negative I am amazed and a little ashamed that I have been dwelling on those negatives when there are so many more positives and blessings.

From the kitchen... Wheat, Millet, and Oat scones with cherries, cranberries, dates, and raisins. Dinner will be Pizza with fresh peppers and a big garden salad.

I am wearing…One of my favorite demin skirts that I will soon pack away for summer and a deep pink top and socks. With my hair up in a braided bun that hubby said this morning he loved!

I am reading... This morning the Old Testament and looking up Meekness in the bible. But I am eyeing my gardening books and magazines.

I am hoping... to cut out some skirts today to sew and I am hoping my son feels better today.

I am creating... blouses and skirts for summer wear.

I am hearing... My dogs barking at the barn cats who are teasing them by chasing each other and playing in the lovely weather.

Around the house... Flowers from hubby are in different areas of the house, laundry is ready to be hung on the line, and plans for baking today are in the works.

One of my favorite things... Today are the birds chirping outside my window and being able to have those windows wide open.

A few plans for the rest of the week... piano practice today for DD and me, Family Home Evening Tonight, 4H for the kids, time spent with a friend and her wonderful 3 yr old, and spending time playing games with the 8-11 yr olds at church while I help them learn gospel principles and set goals for their lives.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... some of my favorite things clothes hung out to dry, fresh flowers these are from hubby from 3 weeks ago and still going strong, windchimes, plants.... Out my kitchen window...
