The Simple Woman’s Daybook for November 3, 2008

Thank you to Peggy at The Simple Woman for hosting this.

  Outside My Window……. The sun is up, thanks to the time change and there are a few stay clouds in the sky. We are supposed to have a high today in the 70’s , strange weather for November in the Midwest! The chickens are out in the yard looking for breakfast and I can see the goats and Jess our milk cow out in the pasture munching away on some grass.

 I am thinking………this year has flown by; I can’t believe it is November already, just a few short weeks till Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

 I am thankful for……. The peace and quiet after having a house full of kids all weekend the quiet is most welcome this morning. I love my family but a bit of quiet time is always welcome.

 From the kitchen……  The coffee is just about finished brewing I can smell it from here, I have bread dough rising on the counter and there is a peach pie in the oven.

 I am wearing……….Blue jeans and a pink t shirt, my hair is till damp form my shower and I have shoes and socks on since I have to go into town this morning.

 I am creating……Nothing right at this moment but I am going to Joann’s later on this morning, to look for some new material and some pillow forms.

I am going……. to go into town with my husband today and run a few errands, we don’t get the chance to shop together to often so we should have a good day.

I am reading….. Julia’s Last Hope by Janette Oke

 I am hoping…..  That the warm weather we are having here in  the Midwest holds out for just a bit longer, I know it is time for cold weather to set in, I just am enjoying still having the widows open and the fresh air.

 I am hearing……  Our inside dog Jack is running up and down the hallway waiting on my husband to get up, he knows he hasn’t gone anywhere this morning and he cant wait to pounce on him when he gets up!

 Around the house…….  The house is in pretty good shape; I cleaned and did laundry after all of our company left last night. Later on this afternoon my husband and I plan to do some outside chores to finish getting ready for cold weather. It is time to put away the patio set and the hoses too.

One of my favorite things is……. Getting to spend time with my family like I did this weekend, and then getting the chance to spend the day with my husband.

 A few plans for the rest of the week …… I am heading into town today and them I will have my egg deliveries to make on Thursday. The rest of my week will be spent in the sewing room finishing up some projects I am working on for gifts for Christmas. I should be finished up with those soon and them I have a few things I would like to make for the house to decorate with for the holidays.

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