Simple Woman's Daybook Outside my window...
the laundry line with some lingering laundry that got soaked by a surprise rain shower... the strawberry patch that bore us a great deal of fruit this year and our root cellar that is aching to be finished. I am thinking... about my plans for the week. Laundry that needs to be done, a house that needs to be cleaned and a garden that needs tended... but really I am thinking about more than that. I am thinking of how I want to have really great relationships with my children, how I want them to be able to look right here at home to find people they want to be like, to not look at the 'wanna be someone else' people of the world... I want them to be able to look at me and their father and see us striving to be more like Jesus and that be their goal as well. I am thankful... for my husband, for my children, for my family, for like-minded friends and for God's grace and patience with me. In the sewing room... I have a great desire to get in there at some point today and tidy up... I have an idea that is a big task that I want to be able to accomplish by Saturday... A great undertaking for me... but possibly do-able. I have just about finished a dear couples present that was married Saturday, it has just a few more French Knots to go... and I want to crochet some more dish cloths for myself. From the kitchen... today's plans include making peach jam with my children. We finished off the last of our last year's jam this past week... but my dear Lindsey blessed us with a jar of fresh peach jam on Saturday...mmm... inspiration in a half-pint. I am wearing... it is early and I am still in my nightgown... it used to be lovely, white with tiny blue flowers and scalloped edges. It was given to me by my precious Mom and sweet Sister when I was pregnant with Abram almost 3 years ago... I am reading... L'abri by Edith Shaffer, finishing up Raising Godly Tomatoes by L. Elizabeth Kruger and I have just started The Charlotte Mason Companion. I am hoping... that I can get a LOT of things accomplished today, and be a good Mom during the whole time. I am hearing... my oldest son talk to me in a very sleepy voice, asking if I remember something that of course I don't... One of my favorite things... productivity... I love to be productive, to make plans, to carry out plans, to accomplish my goals... And, my children's laughter. When they are jolly and loving and agreeable with one another and truly are happy and giddy with laughter... it is good for my soul. A few plans for the rest of the week... a project in my head (shhh, it is a surprise), jam making with my children, cleaning, planning a 50th birthday party for my Mom on Saturday, and spending quality time with my family. A picture thought to share with you...  Saturday afternoon, after we finished helping our friends butcher the last 25 chickens, we went down to the river. Eli was sitting out there contentedly fishing... it was such a sweet scene I had to snap a picture. You can read more about The Simple Woman and join in on the daybook entries. Have a great day dear ones. My Cup Runneth Over...Chas 06:51 - Monday, June 30, 2008 - post comment
