The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window . . . the sun is making the two feet of snow we got this weekend shimmer like diamonds.

I am remembering . . . the perfect snow day we had yesterday. The five of us went snowmobiling and then built a snow cave in the huge drifts up in the fields. Later we had a Superbowl Party minus the football! M.'s sister and her family came over - more snow play, tea and talk, snacks and games. So as to keep us updated, M.'s mom called us everytime one of the teams scored.

I have been thinking . . . of the restlessness in my spirit lately. The Lord is in the midst of teaching me something, and the picture's still a little fuzzy. Though I'm restless, it's good because it's stretching me.

I am thankful . . . for a husband who is such a hard and willing worker. He was out most of Saturday digging us out as well as half the neighborhood.

From the kitchen . . . I hope to try out a new French bread recipe this week. Maybe I'll try it later today to go with the Hamburg Vegetable Soup I plan to make for supper. I also want to try a new recipe for Pumpkin Scones to put in the freezer for breakfasts. Brownie cupcakes with pink frosting and heart sprinkles for later in the week.

Around the house . . . lots of laundry from the myriad of clothes changed due to winter play this weekend. There are also Valentines to sign and mail out as well as the living room to vacuum and the schoolroom to clean.

This week . . . I won't be out and about too much as we're to get another (smaller) snowstorm on Tuesday and Wednesday. Friday evening is our re-scheduled Valentine-making session and Saturday evening is a Sweetheart Banquet at our old church.

A few of my favorite things . . . red and pink glitter glue, chocolate cupcakes, and Sunday afternoon naps with the warmth of the sun shining in on you.
