A Day in My Life...~May

A day in my life~May 14th

My day was lovely yesterday, busy... but lovely nonetheless.  I believe that laundry was started as my feet touched the floor.... but it was a gorgeous day for laundry, I was able to wash the sheets and quilts and line dry everything.

I had roasted the chicken bones from Monday nights dinner and had a beautiful stock ready for our Chicken Soup.


I tended to the garden and my plants, I weeded the herb garden and watered my luffa sprouts


The children and I made noodles for our soup.


A rack that I had purchased to use in my cabinet organizing doubled up and became the perfect drying rack for our pasta...
We enjoyed the homemade noodles so much, I plan on making those again and trying my hand at other types of whole wheat noodles.

The worms are doing exceptional and we tossed in some strawberry tops

I helped the children set up a tent for their camp-out. 

With the temperature dipping so low last night, and such a large chance of rain, and the fact that I REALLY didn't want to sleep on the ground last night, I knew quite well that it wouldn't be a real camp-out...
But... I couldn't tell them just yet, look at them, could you?
We had our family devotion after Shannon came in from visitation, I love to hear the children pray.  Abram has been praying for his family and such, but now since there has been heavy equipment working in the future pasture... every night he thanks God for excavators and dump trucks and dozers. 

Shannon and I watched the last bit of Braveheart last night.  You know you are getting pretty old when it takes you at least 5 separate nights to watch a 177 minute movie... It is Shannon's ALL time favorite movie, and it is very good.  Gruesome at times, where I hid my head, but very good. 
While I watched the movie I worked on my quilting...
Finally, I laid wearily down beside my favorite person in the whole world... Shannon and I talked and snuggled and then I prayed and went to sleep, it was a beautiful day and I am thankful to have lived it.

Chas,

I giggled about the length of time it took you watch your movie. We are the same! It typically takes us three, sometimes four hours to watch one! As you know responsibilities and children. Thank goodness for the pause button!
Have a wonderful day!

I tried to make noodles one time.
I decided to have dumplings instead.....
I'm sure it was the humidity!
I LOVE the picture of the quilts on your line.
It's a happy happy picture!

thimbles

I think thimbles are lovely, but I just cannot use them.
It feels like my finger has a hard hat, and it just won't work!!!
I wish I collected thimbles, they don't take up much room.
