The Simple Womans Daybook 28 September 2009
Outside my window……it’s dark I can’t possibly tell what it is out there. Beside that I haven’t even been outside yet and I don’t plan on going out very soon. But, yesterday it rained enough to make me wish we had plans to build an ark to it is probably wet out which makes me not at all inclined to be out there.
I am thinking……….too much my friends, too much and to spare my children from the disrespectful quote, “a dangerous pastime, I know”
I am thankful for………down comforters and warm rice bags in the fall
I am wearing………..jammies, folks, jammies. I am in my boudoir and therefore that is as much of a glimpse as you are going to get.
I am remembering……not much, at my age you don’t remember much and when you do it is a dangerous thing.
I am going………nowhere and let us keep it that way
I am reading……….Evangelical is not Enough by Thomas Howard. If you get a chance to read it do. It is poetry, pure poetry. It makes your heart and mind soar to heights only imagined.
I am hoping……….in the hope that surpasses all.
From the schoolroom……….silence for now but later there will be great industry and much learning going on. Matthew has a biology test today so spare him a prayer.
From the kitchen……….hot turkey gravy over rice, maybe a salad, and I think I shall make the first apple pie of the season. This will of course require a walk down to the neighbor’s house to “steal” apples off of their tree.
Around the house………..not a lot to do since we didn’t really make much of a mess over the weekend. I do have to finish the ironing………..or maybe not.
One of my favorite things………..the murmur of voices as the house slowly wakes up for the day.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you………..
Doug helping MK with her chemistry homework before we took her back to school last night. Two beloved heads bowed together in scholastic endeavor. It warms even my almost nonexistent heart.

Turkey gravy over rice sounds marvelous! Sending prayers and hugs your way.
I can remember when I used to have to iron one whole day a week. That was in the early 1960′s, before wash and wear. Now I hardly ever iron. Hope your day brightens up and warms up. I think a walk to pick apples should help.
Anymore I hate having to leave my nice home and garden to go anywhere, and in the fall and winter it gets much worse. God bless

@jelbeanx3 - The days that I get to stay home all day long are a pure pleasure. But I wouldn’t know that they are pleasure without the hectic days of running around to contrast them with. You are right about the fall and winter being the worse. Fall because the time is so poignent to me and the winter because it is scary sometimes due to the snow and crazy drivers.
You have a very existent heart. and it is very warm. Thank you for being here
