Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside My Window…Well it is a bit early (5:30am) to know what the weather is going to bring but outside my window right now I can hear the croaking of tree frogs, the songs of the crickets and the beat of horse hooves walking in the pasture.
I am thinking…about my wonderful husband and thanking the Lord for all he does. He tries so hard to make things good for us and I am praying that with the Lords help I can be a good helpmeet to him and do more things for him as well. Love ya Gary!
I am thankful for…all the gifts the Lord has given me, for my vision of prosperity. For all the friends who have crossed my path and all those who have stayed for the long haul. I am thankful for my husband, my children and my extended family (praying for you always)
From the kitchen…I hear absolute silence as it is to early to start breakfast, ahhhh but a pot of coffee brewing would be a wonderful noise. (be right back
)!
I am wearing…today I am wearing my Girl Scout Troop shirt, black Capri's and of course my diabetic socks, my hair is down for now but if it heats up outside you can bet I will have it up.
I am creating… Today I am finishing up a matchbox animal for a swap I am doing (you can see it at my artsy blog here ). Then I will start some handmade toys for a young lady on free-cycle that has a six week old baby and is looking for some soft toys for her to play with later. I will be making two soft rattles, a rag doll and a lullaby bird. I will be sure to post those on my artsy blog too.
I am going…to run to town today to have the expedition inspected and pick up a few groceries but that shouldn't take to long.
I am reading…My bible, Keepsake Crimes by Laura Childs, and The Gospel of the Redman.
I am hoping…to plan out all our Birthday activities today so that I can rest about those.
I am hearing…The whirl of the ceiling fan in the master bedroom and the clicking of the keys on the keyboard. The singing of crickets and the croaking of frogs. Ahhh God is all around me!
Around the house…we will be pulling out school bins and organizing the homeschool bookshelf. Getting ready for our Homeschool kickoff! I think we will go to the park, have a picnic, look over our new materials and enjoy God's creation. Then kickoff school Sept 8Th! Whoo hooo I am looking forward to it!
One of my favorite things…Cute MICE, Cuddly Mice, brown mice, white mice, and oh did I say Mice!!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Preparing for Birthday bashes. Working in my art journal, and preparing for our homeschool kickoff.
Here is picture thought I am sharing....
Ahhh The flight of a hummingbird!
* Share a Blessing!

Ahh, I think Katie Mae needs a soft toy or two. And by the way, I would like to purchase a rag doll for the unit study for the kids. I like the Simple Woman's diary thing that you have going on your blog. It feels like I'm sitting right there with you. : ) Oh, and by the way, I commented on EEHG in the little box on the right last week about blueberries.....did you get it? Because it didn't show this morning when I checked the site. See you Thursday!
