The Simple Woman's Daybook

hosted by The Simple Woman

Outside my window is a freshly mown lawn, an idle ladybug swing, an old dog dozing under the rhododendron and a young dog following suit.

I am thinking about summer goals and plans: swim, help Mom in her garden, keep up with own gardens, keep up with home-schoolings, visit cousins more, read more books, continue the great purging.

I am thankful for quiet mornings at home.

From the kitchen waft the the smells of BonAmi. Dandy has cleaned up the kitchen in preparation for a big cooking frenzy this afternoon.

I am wearing clean jeans and a t-shirt and flip-flops.

I am creating to-do lists that are longer than the day is.

I am going to wash that gray almost out of my hair. I'm leaving my forelock gray as we are all going to have to get used to it pretty soon; I'm sick of dyeing it.

I am reading home-schooling materials.

I am hoping become a more patient and gentle Mom.

I am hearing birdcalls..

Around the house are many gardens full of weeds.

One of my favorite things good food.

A few plans for the rest of the week are yet to be determined.

Here is picture thought I am sharing
