• The Simple Womans Daybook 18 July 2011

  

  Outside my window….the sky grows blacker and blacker as the thunderheads roll in off the lakes.  Every once in awhile lightning arcs across the sky followed by rolls and rolls of thunder.  I sit here at my desk in the safe haven of my home and watch the wonder of God wreak his havoc on the earth.

  I am thinking…for many reasons I am glad that Doug installed these big windows right at the front of the house.  I may not like storms as such but they are irresistable to watch and this is the perfect place to observe them.

  I am thankful for…batteries.  Batteries in my computer, camera and cell phone.

  From the schoolroom…MK will be plugging away at her studies while the rest of us make the environment conducive for study.

  From the kitchen…leftovers abound from the delicious repast that we enjoyed yesterday and the pizza that the kids made on Saturday night.

  I am wearing….a tee shirt with eeyore on it and grey capris.

  I am creating….a safe haven from whence I can watch the world going by.

  I am going…nowhere that I know of.  Perhaps to pick Brett up from work but that is about all today. It is Monday after all.

  I am reading….Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises.  Not my favorite author.

  I am hoping…that Doug has to work the whole day in spite of the storms.  You never know with farmers.

  I am hearing…dogs panting, kids discussing thunderstorms, and thunder rumbling in the distance.

  Around the house…all of the chores are done and everyone is settling in with something to occupy himself.  It’s tough for my active kids to spend a day inside during the summer time.

  One of my favorite things…the dog resting nearby, the morning chores done, and a hot cup of coffee at my side as I write this.

  A few plans for the rest of the week….twice daily dressing changes for Matthew, cooking, cleaning, reading, sewing, and being a wife to my husband and mother to my children.

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

  

  The newest addition to our family (like we need another dog).  His name is Archie.
