The Simple Woman's Daybook

Monday July 28, 2008

Outside my window..the leaves on the trees are so still this afternoon.

I am thinking... how nice it is we have trees to shade us from the hot sun.

I am thankful...for the rest I had this morning, just sitting on the deck reading.

From the kitchen...my daughter is making zucchini fritters as the

garden is producing plenty of good vegetables.

I am creating...a nice flower arrangement with the cosmos from the garden.

I am going... to have a busy week. My Welcome Home meeting is

this Thursday. I will be spending time getting ready for that. This is a

woman outreach the Lord has chosen me to run.

I am wearing... my blue jean skirt and a light weight blue sweater. My hair is pinned up as it keeps me cool in the hot summer.

I am reading... through Psalms and I am still reading Abigail Adams.

I did pick up a new book from the library this past week, The Flower Farmer. Which I have been enjoying and learning from, as this year I have planted lots of flowers from seed. I thought it would be good for me to grow more cut flowers. Then, I will have plenty of choices to bring into the house.

I am hoping... I will get a hoop house up this fall. This something my

husband and I are trying to extend the growing season here in New Jersey.

I am hearing... my daughter is talking to me as I write.

Around the house...there are books lying about as we are readers here in this house.

One of my favorite things... is growing beautiful flowers and vegetables.

A few plans for the rest of the week... I will be out a lot this week.

I am going to a Beth Moore Simulcast this weekend.

I won't be working in the garden much this week. I will catch up on

some things in the house. Maybe, I will get my soap made, this week.

Here is a picture thought.. this is my garden on the right side of the

yard. Enjoy.
