Simple Woman's Daybook , August 10, 2010

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...
Sunday and cool for summer. Last night we walked the dogs in the front pasture and it was actually nice not so hot and humid as it has been. But summer is far from being over here in the south.

I am thinking...
Of my list of things today
From the learning rooms...
We started school yesterday and it was a great day. We started a new schedule and it worked beautifully and they seemed to love it. They are both excited to read about the middle ages this year and they both are looking forward to Apologia Biology and the new microcope coming in the mail soon.

From the kitchen...
Tomatoes everywhere....We are freezing them for me to turn into something yummy at a later date

I am wearing...
a green skirt my hubby's favorite and gray top and for now I am barefoot.

I am creating...
I finally finished an apron I started in June. And I am thinking of other sewing projects.
I am reading...
School books and Little House in the Big Woods

I am hoping...
My van gets out of the shop soon it has been there a week now

I am hearing...
the dog wanting out of Ash's room, the freezer and fridge, and a bird outside.

Around the house...
sleeping cats, sleeping teenagers soon to be awaken, dishes to put away, and a day to get started

One of my favorite things...
The smile on my daughters face when a math problem clicks into places and she finally understands.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
school, volunteer at the Bishop's storehouse, my mom coming up for an afternoon visit, library, youth....

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
Red Figs and Yellow Pears...Once they turn colors they are so pretty but the rain is making them split and the bushes are so big and thick as we pick green ones fall off and I can't let them go to waste. :0)

  1. It sounds like a beautiful day for you! I pray your van will get out soon! We are having a very warm summer here too, and it is not slowing down! I think it just might be extra bad for me because of pregnancy! lol Have a beautiful week ahead dear friend!

  2. What a refreshing and simply lovely time I have just spent reading about your day.

    This week is such a stressful week, that it is such a joy to stop by and read about your day and feel glad that there are ladies out there living life simply and joyfully for Our Lord!

    Thank you Erika for sharing it...you have encouraged me so much today.

  3. I have been trying to get to an apron for clothes pins all summer. I am glad to know someone got to sew and apron. Maybe this week I can get to that.

    I hope your van comes back soon.

    I hope your no-poo is going well. I have been poo-free for almost three years and I hope to never go back. I will try to post my story and link back at Feelin Feminine.

    Have a great week...
