Good Monday Morning Ya'll

Posted on Monday, January 28, 2008 at 01:56

Mornin' everybody!  Hope the weekend was pleasant and filled with wonderful moments of joy.Our Sunday was quiet and peaceful.  We enjoyed Church services, then came home and pigged out on pot roast.  In the afternnon, we watched a movie, and everyone did a bit of reading.  I have been re-reading a book from a few years ago, and hubby is working on a Mark Twain collection.  Pumpkin and the two oldest read to each other from Silas Marner.

Today promises to be busy, but I am trying to be much more organized in using my time, and will have Pumpkin doing her schoolwork at intervals, to make it easier for me to work on some laundry and prepare the banana butter recipe. I am so happy to have my simple kitchen, with it's sunny windows and plenty of counter space.  We can do such much in that one room.  It is truly the "heart" of our home.

In the yard, there are leaves that need raking, and my flower beds await some tender-loving care.   Yet, it is still far to cool for me to brave much in the way of yardwork.  I will have to remain content with planting the rest of my seed trays.  It may be winter, but these hands still need to dig in the earth a bit, lol.

Late this afternoon, I have to make a trip to town to pick up a new ceiling fan for our bedroom.  The wiring on the old one is shot, and Hubby says it is no longer safe to use.  I am thinking of a very simple light wood, with the old fashioned school house light kit. I can paint the shade with a few flowers, or vines, and it will fit right in.

Well, best to get to it!  I pray that you all will have a wonderful day, and the blessings of the Lord will abound in your loving homesteads!

Hi, I too can relate to wanting to be working the soil although right now my gardens are covered in a good layer of snow! It will be another month or so before we start our garden seeds in pots but it's always fun to watch them sprout!
I would love to see a pic of your simple kitchen (those are the best kinds!) if you would care to share one with us? I love to see other's kitchens because I agree that they truly are the "heart of the home"!
Have a blessed and happy day!
