For Today - April 20, 2010 - Tuesday

Outside My Window. . .Sunny & cool/warm. It's warm outside & cool inside ;)

I am hearing. . .Clocks ticking & evening traffic which consists of cars, tractors, logging trucks & diesel pickup trucks & school buses.

I Am Wearing . . .Velour pants, sweatshirt over a t-shirt & walking shoes.

I Am Thinking . . .That my goal is to live a simple life, according to my values.

I am wondering . . . What I'm gonna' do w/all this stuff, once the rooms are set-up & decorated? I think there will be much left over.

I Am Grateful. . . That knee is back to normal.

From the kitchen . . . Soft fried potatoes & poached eggs. We didn't eat them last night because I forgot to first bake the potatoes!

I am going . . . to fold two loads of clothes & pot up an azalea & hydrangea.

I am reading . . And article about suffering.

I am hoping . . .to be prepared for suffering when it comes. "In the world you will have tribulation" is the one promise we all are sure to experience.

Around the house . . . It always needs a good, hard sweeping!

One of my favorite things . . . Living a simple life of contentment.

Something you may not know about me . . . I make really good ice tea!

For Today - April 16, 2010 - Friday

Outside My Window . . . Cool & damp, w/20% chance of rain.

I am hearing. . .Birds & squirrel eating from the bird feeder posted right outside the window.

I Am Wearing . .Robe

I Am Thinking . . . I don't want UPS to just drop off packages today. One is from target.com....& I'm refusing it. A very long story . . . but I am unhappy w/them right now.

I am wondering . . . If there's any way to get rid of squirrels w/o scaring off the birds?

I Am Grateful. . . I get to stay home today.

From the kitchen . . . Perfection. The kitchen is clean . . . not a dish in the drainer or a thing out of place.

I am going . . . To redo some of the dining/computer/reading room. Amanda & an online friend have made a couple of suggestions & I'm going to try them today.

I am reading . . .Nothing!

I am hoping . . .to play house (dining/computer/reading room) & play in the dirt (outside). Oh & do one load of clothes.


Around the house . . . A feeling of home. . . this house really feels like home

One of my favorite things . . . Birds chirping & cows mooing.

Something you may not know about me . . . I seldom turn on the TV or radio and never in the morning. I like to hear the birds & cows! :)

About Today's Photo. . . It's been suggested that I get rid of the file boxes from the top of the wardrobe. Will replace w/nature stuff. . . .
