The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window . . . my hosta is growing large and full, the picnic table is back in place after being used for egg-painting on Easter eve, and the grass is green and thick.

I am thinking . . . how much I am looking forward to our mountain trip at the end of the week.

I am remembering . . . the fun we had yesterday. The yard was littered with a dozen boys at various times throughout the afternoon and evening playing their boy games. My friend, Candy, and I watched from a "safe" position on the porch - that is, until the porch swing decided to let loose from the roof. We dropped to the floor a foot away and covered our heads while the swing chain, siding, a board and a pile of debris came down on us. The men and boys came running to rescue us. All was fine (except the roof!), and we have yet another funny memory to add to our collection!

I am thankful . . . for this big, beautiful farm where boys ride bikes, play with goats, learn to work, swim in the pond, catch frogs and play in forts.

I am hearing . . . Ben jumping his bike up the sidewalk and Caleb grinding the rust off a piece of machinery.

From the kitchen . . . Cheesy Meat Pie for supper and a Peanut Butter Pie from the freezer.

Around the house . . . asparagus to pick, dishes to do and flower boxes to water.

This week . . . a trip to the library to return all of the documentaries, a grocery shopping trip and preparations for the cabin.

A few of my favorite things . . . grilled asparagus, starting a new book and two more weeks of school!!
