The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY July 06
Outside my window...Grey skies, silence and stillness.

I am thinking...about tea parties, a table full of craft projects and little girls giggles.

I am thankful for... God's order and design of the family.

From the kitchen... Raspberries! Ripe and ready for picking.

I am wearing... long pants - first time in awhile. The cool is refreshing.

I am praying... my dear mother in law (dmil as I call her) as she has one more test then starts treatment for bone cancer.

I am creating...or assisting in the creation of 7 very interesting people.

I am going... to pick raspberries - then I'll try to stay home again this week. ( ;) for those who know me well, you know why the 'try' is there.)

I am reading... To Keep a Quiet Heart and enjoying it ever so much! If you've not read it, I recommend it!

I am hoping... to do some fun projects with 2 young ladies this week. Sewing, play some games, baking... things they would like to do.

I am hearing... a computer humming and the keys on the keyboard - that's all for now.

Around the house... Garden is looking nice, small though it be. Summer is flying by, we want to do some 'summer things' this week; curl up and read, enjoy some iced tea and conversation, play in the sprinkler....

One of my favorite things... that extra 1/2 hour of sleep in the morning.

A few plans for the rest of the week: pick raspberries and a bit of blueberries. Spend time with our children, work on the canning class preparations, bake for the freezer.
