'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight
'Till by turning, turning we come round right.
Shaker dance song by Joseph Brackett, 1848

A Simple Woman's Daybook
For Today
Monday, October 6, 2008
Outside my Window... crunchy golden leaves in the grass, Momma Hen with her (now six) babies, tractors going up and down the road
I am thankful for...my husband and his love.
From the kitchen... sausages,
sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, homemade buttermilk, apples to sauce
I am reading...the back cover of a novel (for review) that came today by mail.
I am hearing...the quiet of the house as evening settles in.
Around the house... boys resting (two are sick with awful colds).
One of my favorite things... the color red
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... the last harvest of tomatoes, putting the gardens to bed for the winter, harvesting hickory nuts, dentist appointments for us all, and homeschool co-op classes.
A picture thought to share for the day...
Looking back to summer's harvest...
Please stop by to visit Peggy to peek into the lives of other "Simple Women," and to read the guidelines for creating your own Daybook!

Oh, those nasty old colds!! The girls and I passed around a DOOSY a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, I'm still draining at night. NOT pretty. :-P
But...what IS pretty is that garden bounty picture you posted. PLEASE tell me that's yours! lol
I'll tell you, girlfriend, one of these days I'll have to see that gorgeous old house of yours.
Blessings, Kim Wolf<><
