Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY 10/13...
Outside My Window... A yellow rat snake is trying to swallow a squirrel. Or at least, that is what was outside my window a few hours ago and we stood watching it for a long, long time. That's hands-on science right there. A homeschoolers dream.

I am thinking... that I don't know what I want, and that is very unsettling

I am thankful for...it all. Every moment of my life experience. God has used it so so so much this week. It's really been amazing

From the kitchen... The kitchen is dark and quiet. I think I reached critical mass today and Hunky sensed it. He took the kids away for awhile. So silly that I am torn between reveling in that and feeling abysmal that they had to leave.

I am wearing...Too few clothes for this late in the year. Fall is so slow in coming and it's not making me any less grumpy.

I am creating...Secret Santa and other delightful presents

I am going...hmmm, nowhere fast judging by my attitude today

I am reading... Stephen King's Wizard and Glass, Nahum, Habbakuk and Zephaniah, also Genesis, and Exodus with the girls in school, OH and Mara the Slave Girl also with the girls in school.

I am hoping...to gain some insight

I am hearing... the wind

Around the house...unfinished painting projects, a lawn that needs mowing, a bed that needs clean sheets, binders, books and papers and other school miscellania

One of my favorite things... sitting on the backporch and smelling woodsmoke. The temperature says summer, but that smell, promises cooler weather to come.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Sea World, Co-op, painting the girls' room, mulching the yard, simplifying simplifying, simplifying

Here is picture thought I am sharing...



Worship happens in more ways than the human mind can comprehend
