The Simple Woman’s Daybook for October 27, 2008

Thank you to Peggy at The Simple Woman for hosting this

Outside My Window……. It is still dark but you can hear the wind blowing through the trees, it is going to be a classic cloudy, blustery late October day here in IL today. I turned the chickens and goats out after critter chores this morning, but so far no one wants to run outside and play today.

I am thinking………I still can’t get over the fact that it is almost November, it seems just like last month we were planting our spring gardens.

I am thankful for……. A cozy warm home, a full pantry, my family, my husband and my faith.

From the kitchen……  The coffee pot is just about finished brewing up a pot of Fog Lifter and I have a chicken simmering on the back burner for chicken soup this evening.

I am wearing……….a pair of blue sweat pants, a dark grey sweatshirt and socks (my feet were cold this morning)

I am creating…… I am sewing some flannel pajamas for my grandson for Christmas and I have a dress cut out for my niece to wear to her Christmas pageant at school

I am going……. To stay inside today and enjoy the warmth of the corn stoves and the fireplace

I am reading….. When Tomorrow Comes by Janette Oke

I am hoping…..  That I can find the strength in me with the help of God, to deal with this rheumatoid arthritis and the challenges it will put before me.

I am hearing……  The news on the TV

Around the house…….  I need to workup a batch of laundry soap this morning and do a bit of dusting and sweeping.

One of my favorite things is……. A hot bowl of soup on a blustery day like today.

A few plans for the rest of the week …… No interesting plans for this week, just my weekly egg and soap deliveries in town on Thursday and spending some time getting a few Christmas projects finished up.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing……….
