For Today…Monday, October 6, 2008

Outside My Window…The sun shines brightly and a cool breeze moves across the landscape.  Our chickens are foraging for bugs, and the little rooster croaks his adolescent cock-a-doodle-do.  It’s a beautiful day in Mississippi.

I am thinking…of too much to capture a single thought.

I am thankful for…my dear husband…always.

From the kitchen…I hear the whir of the dishwasher.

I am wearing…an old comfy skirt and long-sleeved T-top.  Per usual, my feet are bare.

I am creating…an apron for my niece who graduated from college.  It will be uniquely hers.  She told me she was “jealous” of the one I made her mom, so we talked colors and things she loves.  Her “favorites” will be incorporated into an apron made especially for her.  In the evening hours I’m working on afghans and a baby quilt.

I am going…to meet my mom for lunch late this morning.

I am reading…hanging my head in shame, I confess I am still reading “The Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan.  There has been very little time for reading this week.  My Bible is the only book I’ve opened.  I’m so close to completing “The Pilgrim’s Progress”…maybe I’ll turn that last page this week.  It really is a worthy read in spite of the lengthy time it is taking me to get through it.

I am hoping…to hear from my DH soon.  He always calls me from work in the late morning unless things aren’t going smoothly.

I am hearing…Glenn Beck…talk radio.

Around the house…there is much that requires my attention.  It’s doubtful I’ll get much of it done today.  We’ve been so busy outside since cooler temperatures have come our way.

One of my favorite things…the smell of a freshly bathed baby.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:  I plan to complete Erin’s apron and send it on its way to her.

Here is the picture thought I am sharing…I spotted this guy hunkered down in my little garden last night.

Until next time…
