• The Simple Womans Daybook 25 September 2011

   

  Outside my window…it is dark. That could be because it is currently night time.  Later on it will start to get light out, because it will get to be morning.  When I came home from dog-sitting it was warmish out still and there was light fog descending in the fields along the road.

  I am thinking…about those that I love. 

  I am thankful for….peace and quiet and the opportunity to finish my schoolwork without interruption.

  From the kitchen…I assume that tomatoes and grapes will be prominent in tomorrow’s activities. It smells like a winery in here with the grapes in the dehydrator.  It is a heady perfume indeed.

  I am wearing…jammies (it is that time of night you know)

  I am creating…cleverly crafted blocks of text (critical response essays) for school.

  I am going…slowly out of my mind.  Actually, I am going to bed when I get done translating what is in my head into electronic signals.  Perhaps after all the words are out of my head and down onto virtual paper they will leave me alone and I can finally go to sleep.

  I am reading…Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw”  a very creepy novel that I have to read for my Am. Fiction course.

  I am hoping…that I get good grades on the two essays that I wrote this weekend because I felt lost the whole time I was writing them.

  I am hearing…the bubbler in the fish tank, the fan in the dehydrator, and the clock on the wall ticking away the night.

  Around the house…it is quiet and settled.  Everyone is in bed and all feels right with my little corner of the world.

  One of my favorite things…the short drive down Route 5 at this time of year.  The highway is lined with maple trees on both sides.  They are turning glorious shades of orange, red and yellow right now.

  A few plans for the rest of the week….living my life the best I know how.  Being the best wife, mother, grandmother, and student that I can be.  This week I will also add teacher to that list since CCD classes will start on Thursday and I will be teaching grade 5 again.

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

  Layn captured just for a second standing still.  When this boy is outside he is on the go and getting dirty and never stops until someone captures him to bring him in to scrub the dirt off.
