The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY - June 22, 2009

Outside my window . . . a new sunrise.

I am thinking . . . that I have MUCH to do today!

I am thankful . . . that we had such a sweet afternoon yesterday of driving and exploring.

From the learning rooms . . . Eli is enjoying a unit study on "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George, they all continue to learn about goats, and Caleb is doing yet another woodworking project - spiffing up a wooden barn he made.

From the kitchen . . . meadow tea and, if I have enough berries, raspberry shortcake.

I am praying . . . that I would be enthralled with Him.

I am wearing . . . my pink nightgown and purple robe.

I am going . . . to make an unscheduled appointment to the orthodontist with Eli whose having some trouble with the metal in his mouth!

I am reading . . . "What He Must Be . . . If He Wants to Marry My Daughter" by Voddie Baucham Jr. (I need to finish this up!)

I am hearing . . . birdsong.

Around the house . . . weeding asparagus, making meadow tea, doing laundry, making some phone calls, preparing homeschool paperwork for the new year.

One of my favorite things . . . watching the goats explore their new pen in the pasture.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . weeding the gardens, a trip to the library, writing a thank you note for last week's luncheon, making strawberry jam if time.

Here is a picture thought of the vintage picnic basket that I love to use for picnics - I bought it at an auction for $5 one summer:
