  Outside my window………..it’s dark but there will be increasing light followed by sunshine, I hope.  It is warm out, the weaterbug says it’s 57 out and out highs are supposed to get into the 80′s again.  Chance of a sprinkle or two passing by.  I hope one comes and stays for a little while.  All of the things that I planted could use a good drink of water.

  I am thinking………that I have to be a good teacher and have school today and leave my garden for later.  But it is calling to me like a sirens song………….It is so hard to be good and disciplined when the sun shines and the weather is warm.

  From the schoolroom………….silence right now but there must be a great deal of learning going on today.  Spanish and Biology won’t be until later since Bret has a schedule conflict.  Matthew has to fit his school work in with a work schedule now also.

  I am thankful for………..warm days, sons who work hard to help get things nice around here. 

  From the kitchen…………leftovers, leftovers, leftovers.  I cooked enough on the weekend to at least get us through today.

  I am wearing………..you don’t want to know.  It’s early yet.  I’ll shower and dress properly in another hour.

  I am reading………..still working on Henry VIII

  I am hoping……..that my seeds arrive in the mail this week so I can get them tucked safely away in the nice beds that I made in my garden.

  I am creating………..sustainability for the future.  Hows that for a high-fallutin’ way of saying growing our food supply.

  I am praying……..for good results for my tests tomorrow.

  Around the house………..recovery from another weekend of neglect.   It was so gloriously sunny and warm that we were all outside and the inside got terribly messy and the laundry piled up and the dusting needs to be done and the floors need sweeping and on and  on it goes.  That’s today’s chore while Matthew learns.

  One of my favorite things…………the pool is uncovered and there are no leaves in it, the water is crystal clear and I am cheering that I won’t take weeks to scoop leaves and kill algae!!!!!! I just have to scoop the dead mouse out of there. (the guys wouldn’t do it when they uncovered the pool)

  A few plans for the rest of the week………recovery today and laundry with a trip to the pool store thrown in, biopsy tomorrow and first communion rehearsal and Holy hour, Wed. is a day of rest for me, Thursday is laundry and a day in the garden if there is no rain, Friday pick up MK, Holy hour, first communion rehearsal, Sat. is first communion, then I have to start planning for our trip to SC next week.

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

  

  The mother Killdeer that was watching me while I was running on the treadmill the other day.  I found her nest by the wood pile.  She kicked up a big fuss when I was there looking at her eggs.  I piled bark and wood around them so that no one will accidentally step on them and crack them.
