  Outside my window…………it’s dark.  It cannot be too cold since I am sitting here and not freezing.  I hope that today is nice since I would like to get outside and do somethings today.

  I am thinking…………a lot about family of late.  I haven’t seen mine in many a year and it is time to rectify that situation.

  From the schoolroom………….all is silence since Matthew is still sleeping.  I don’t think Brett will be coming today since I hear that he has the same illness that Matthew and I are recovering from.  Still no voice yet.  Don’t know when that will be coming back.  Guess I won’t be singing for Easter this year.

  I am thankful for…………good friends, good food, and good fun.  All of which we enjoyed yesterday.

  From the kitchen…………I am afraid plenty of leftovers will be on the menu this week.   It is holy week so we will be spending it in prayer instead of cooking.

  I am wearing…………blue tank top, US Navy sweat pants.  Hey, it’s early and I am not ready for the day yet.

  I am reading………..I volume that I got from the library about local history.

  I am hoping…………that this is the holiest of holy weeks for us. 

  I am creating………….plans for my garden.

  I am hearing………….the sounds of my fingers tapping on the keyboard and not much else since Matthew and Ian haven’t stirred yet.

  Around the house………..a stack of projects in the sewing room to finish before the outdoors keeps me away, schoolbooks to sort and plan for next year (yes it’s time to start that already)and the ever present laundry.

  One of my favorite things…………anticipating the coming growing season.  I have decided to try something new this year and I am going to plant artichokes.  Every year I try something that I have never tried.  I like artichokes and have never grown them or tried to use them fresh so here is my attempt.

  A few plans for the rest of the week………….the usual round of classes and holy hours, an appointment with Dr. Jim, have to remember to pick MK up on Thursday rather than Friday.  Mass on Thursday night, devotions on Friday afternoon, and stations of Friday evening.  Busy this week but my favorite kind of busy.  Have to remember to make the chowder for Friday too!

  Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you…………..

  

  Home sweet home.  Stay tuned for the greening up.  We had 1 1/4 inches of rain on Friday and Saturday so now everything is starting to really get green.  Maybe the fire calls for grass fires will stop for awhile.  We may be a little slow to turn over to spring but when it gets that way around here it is beautiful.  Already the maples have big fat buds on them.  I am looking forward to some leaves.
