Simple Woman's Daybook , May 4, 2010

FOR TODAY
Early Monday Morning
Outside my window...
Wet it rained last night so everything had a nice long drenching. But the birds are still chirping and loving life.

I am thinking...
Of a sad decision I must make. It is not life impacting or anything but it is one I would rather not think about but I must. It is rather silly but to me I feel a tiny part of me will be missing, and the fun will be taken out of the event in question at least for me.

I am thankful for...
for everything this morning

From the learning rooms...
Looking at ordering school books for next year in the next couple of days and seeing what I need to add to it etc

From the kitchen...
At the moment nothing. Dandalion Tea in a few minutes, cold with Stevia. This weed makes all the difference in me I truly believe in the restoring and healing properties of the natural things Heavenly Father has given us. Later.... Banana Choc Chip muffins made with white wheat

I am wearing...
My long corduroy thrifted skirt and a gray Tshirt, today is weekend rescue so nothing to fancy today. I am growing my bangs out so my hair in pulled back in barrets. I am participating in The Challenge and will post for the next 7 days starting Today what I am wearing. Since I wear skirts 98% of the time this should be easy and fun.

I am creating...
Well I was going to make another long tiered skirt but that has been nixed and will now turn the fabric into a a skirt but a different pattern.
I am reading...
I just finished reading "The Widow of Larkspur Manor" by Luwana Blackwell, The Gresham Chronicles is the name of the 3 books that start with this one I just read. I really liked it, it is set in the English countryside during the 1800's a clean christian love story.

I am hoping...
For sunshine to dry our clothes today but if we don't get it till tomorrow that is fine we needed the rain.

I am hearing...
"Dawn" from Pride and Prejudice from the computer speakers and total quiet thru out the rest of the house.

Around the house...
A tornado has struck the inside of the house so a total mess!

One of my favorite things...
The scriptures that teach us so much

A few plans for the rest of the week:
kids eye appointments, seminary, youth, Bishop's Storehouse, week in feminine dress.....

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...
My roses are blooming like crazy this year...finally. It has taken me a couple of years to get them to do anything, except try to die. And this year they are blooming the rain battered them the night before this pix was taken. The wildrose (pink) usually blooms once and then the deer eat it and the rosehip with it. this year there are lots! I am excited.

  1. Good morning Erika, Sorry you have a the sad decision to make. I don't like making them either. Glad to hear about your rain, we are praying for some. We are so dry that the lightening last week began a couple of brush fires.
    Love roses I just have trouble growing them. Lost many trees this year with the drought then the flooding and then the harshest winter in 100 yrs.
    It really has been amazing year.

  2. The challenge is interesting to me... interesting to think about what I am wearing from this perspective.
