Meet The Blogger:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I am pleased to have you here at Rachel's Reasoning. This is a place where I post my homesteading adventures in our family of 10. We garden, raise goats, chickens and dogs. I am hoping for some ducks and turkeys in the spring, but not sure if I am going to get them. Check my other sidebar for a list of our homestead animals.

The Simple Woman’s Daybook - Page 6

Posted in Simple Woman's Daybook

The Simple Woman’s Daybook - Page 6

My Simple Woman’s Daybook for today!

For today… Monday, August 25th, 2008.

Outside My Window… I can see the tree in the back field swaying in the wind. All is sunny outside.

I am thinking… that I need to get my Bible Reading Challenge post done for today… anyone still want to join? :)

I am thankful… the sunshine

From the kitchen… bagels…

I am wearing...a green different coloured skirt, a white youth soccer ball shirt, and am barefoot.

I am creating… Nothing at the present, maybe a clean house! :D

I am going… finish my Bible Reading Challenge post for today when I am done with this one.

I am reading… Still reading The Old Country by Sholom Aleichem. It’s the book that the great musical The Fiddler On The Roof was based off of. Pretty neat stories. Check it out! And I will also be reading Enoch Roden’s Training for the HSB Literary Club. I am also reading the Journeys Of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson, which I will be reviewing for Growing In Grace. Very good book!

I am hoping…to get everything cleaned up in a timely manner.

I am hearing… the kids outside in the alligator pool playing.

Around the house… Since all the kids are outside and Lu’s with Mom, I am not hearing any noise except for the clacking of the keyboard on which I type.

One of my favorite things…is to read God’s Word, and get closer to Him.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Well, I’ll write what I plan to do for today -clean up the house, make something sweet, maybe some chocolate chip cookies, get back to writing my pioneer book that I started two years ago and never finished, and check on the baby goats.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

I thought this was a fun picture. I took it, looking up into our big maple in the front yard.

For Guidelines of this meme, visit The Simple Woman .I hope you will join me! If you posted your own Simple Woman’s Daybook! I really love doing this meme. :)

Being Simple Still,
     Rachel

Hi Rachel,

I love your maple tree! Our land was horribly cut over before we moved here and large trees are rare. You're lucky, they take forever to get that big.

I sent you a privet message through the Homesteadblogger. Did you get it? Will that work for a correspondence method? Blessings on you and your family today!

Dear Rachel,
Thanks for giving it to me, I can't wait till you get it! And I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the Simply Women's Daybook, I just love it! I really enjoy reading yours and everyone else's! I've been planning on doing it for the past two weeks but on Monday I was sick, AGAIN! And last Monday I was just too busy! So I will try to do it next Monday, but I won't promise!

I hope you all are doing well!

Blessings,
Emmy!
