The Simple Womans Daybook 31 August 2009
Outside my window………….the sun is rising very slowly today. There is a chill in the air that is welcome after the past few weeks of heat and high humidity. It seems to have rained and very hard last night. Make a note to check the rain guage to see how much we got. We racked up over four inches last week.
I am thinking……….that I should be showering or doing some such other useful thing but not quiet yet. Being alone here in my room is a pleasant feeling.
I am thankful for……..my lovely daughter and her companionship this past weekend.
From the schoolroom………..all is in readiness for the start of a new school week.
From the kitchen………..I have been thinking about making a pot of pasta e fagioli for tonights supper. It is cool out and that always puts me in mind to make soup for some reason. Maybe I can scare up enough bread flour to make a loaf of bread too.
I am wearing………..grey shorts and grey tee shirt. I haven’t even contemplated the days attire yet
I am creating…………nothing at present. Although that should change tomorrow after I pick up my newly repaired sewing machine.
I am going………..to morning Mass and then nowhere else I hope. I would like to stay home all day long and just enjoy the pleasure of being here.
I am reading…………Chosen and Cherished by Kimberly Hahn
I am hoping…………that today is a sunny day and that it is boring and predictable. Wouldn’t that be nice.
I am hearing……..the sounds of Matthew taking a shower and Doug making his lunch to take to work.
Around the house……….the usual mess leftover from the weekend’s neglect.
One of my favorite things………..waking up in the morning and knowing that my family is all around me and safe.
A few plans for the rest of the week……….the usual rounds of mass and holy hours. I have to make phone calls today to get Jason a follow-up appointment with his surgeon and MK an appointment for an untrasound. Thursday I have a teacher’s meeting at church that I musn’t forget. Then it will be Friday again and I can go get MK for another weekend at home.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you …………
I miss you MK but remember that you are doing your job and that God is happy with you.

I love the picture….what are the bales? behind her?
It is cool and beautiful here too but we didn’t get much rain so it is dry here and we’re watering our flower gardens.
I hope that your day is boring and predictable…. God bless…
@brbschrm - Those are bales of baleage. It is hay that is cut and baled somewhat wet and then wrapped. They ferment in the bale. Then they are fed to the cows. The same concept as a silo only on a smaller scale. That is the farm that my husband works on. We were waiting for him to finish washing down in the parlor so we could take him home. She loves to visit him at work when she is home from school on the weekends.
That book sounds interesting.
