'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,November 17, 2008
Outside my Window... We awoke to a dusting of snow that covered every tree branch! I love our woods in winter...it looks like a fairyland.
I am thankful for...a good night's rest.
From the kitchen...more pumpkin bread, King Ranch Chicken and salad for supper
I am reading...the invitation to the firehouse Christmas party to make sure that we RSVP in a timely manner.
I am hoping...that I won't have to wait long when I go to get my hair "done" this afternoon.
I am hearing... the blower on the woodstove, sighs from a napping dog, and boys coming in from chores.
Around the house... Boys with red faces wearing Carhartt overalls and jackets... dripping boots and braided rugs covered with wet snow.
One of my favorite things... gingerbread coffee creamer
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...a consult with the surgeon, (possible biopsy), auto extrication training for the boys, Thanksgiving feast at Homeschool co-op.
A picture thought to share for the day...
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!

I love the snow, how wonderful, to cook and sit by the wood stove to keep warm. Loved your journal.
