For Today...

Outside my Window... It feels like fall, it smells like fall, it's chilly and crisp and the sun is rising and a squirrel is staring at me through the screen.

I am thinking... Right now, right here, I love my life. I hope I can capture this feeling all day.

From the learning rooms...Since we took yesterday off, today we will do math, spelling, writing, some history, Bible

I am thankful for... A God who supplies all my needs

From the kitchen...currently hubby is scrambling eggs on the grill because the power just went out. Earlier this week I cooked a delicious Italian bean soup which will be lunch for the better portion of this week. Last night was fried cabbage and sausage. I'm definitely in the mood to cook fall foods.

I am wearing... flannel pajamas and a warm flannel robe

I am reading... Exodus and Jeremiah, an interesting juxtaposition indeed.

I am hoping... to continue to find more hours in my day. When I started teaching the second Disciple class, I told God that the only way it would happen is if He stretched my time, and He has been so, so, so, so faithful in that

I am creating... space, simplicity and joy. Also Christmas presents, holiday lesson plans gift lists.

I am hearing...transformers blowing

Around the house...today we are going to try on all the clothes that are sitting on upper closet shelves and if we can't wear them we are giving them away. I don't need to hang on to them just in case. God supplies all our needs when we need them.

One of my favorite things...my children's frowzy warm kisses in the morning.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...continue to mow and bag the leaves in the backyard, continue xeriscaping. Kiss the hunky hubby and kids a lot. Take time to enjoy this fabulous weather, slow down, drink lots of coffee.

Here is a picture thought for you today:

Chickens are a happy thing
