The Simple Womans Daybook 21 March 2011
Outside my window….there is a combination of rain and snow coming down from the sky. I am thinking about making a large sign so that the elements can be properly informed that it is now Spring and amend the weather situation. By the way the thermometer says that it is 36. That is going to need tweaking too.
I am thinking…since Melissa came I have come to know what it is like to have two daughters in the house. (Translate two females!!!!!) Actually it is so nice I wish it had happened sooner.
I am thankful for….the beautiful Spring-like weather that we had last week.
From the schoolroom….finals week for me!!!!! Matthew and MK will continue to grind along.
From the kitchen….pork roast, mashed sweet potatoes, and vegetables for supper.
I am wearing…a long flannel nightgown.
I am creating…a thing of beauty and a joy forever. (I have always loved that phrase)
I am going….to stay home and work on my finals today.
I am reading….Thomas Aquinas’ summa gentilis
I am hoping….to slow time just a little bit.
I am hearing….MK and Melissa making plans for their day, Layn playing with his Woody doll, and the clicking of Isabella’s nails on the hardwood floors.
Around the house…everything is status quo. We seem to have taken in another underdog. Mary-Kate’s sow had piglets yesterday. The runt is extremely runty and it is now residing in a box next to the wood stove. Welcome to the home of the unwanted, unloved, disadvataged, disenchanted, and otherwise homeless. Pull up a banana box and make yourself at home.
One of my favorite things…is the very quality of my family that makes each one of them inclined to take in those who are in need. Without that quality we wouldn’t have Melissa and Layn here or have met and cared for all those who have been through this house in the past 28 years.
A few plans for the rest of the week…get through finals, finish the sewing projects that are piled up around my machine, start some others, and otherwise continue in the business of living my life.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you….
This is what life is all about. Layn helping his mom bottle feed the piglet.
