beauty in simplicity 

Outside my window there are random street noises and the occasional conversation as friends meet each other

I am thinking about the gift of relationships and how they all take work and commitment

I am thankful for my husband and his faithfulness to me. And for the fan that creates a breeze on this humid day!

From the kitchen, there are cooling racks filled with cookies, potatoes and eggs to be made into a potato salad and shortcakes ready to be filled with strawberries and cream

I am wearing my favorite jeans and pink t-shirt

I am creating beauty and memories

I am going on a picnic tonight with good friends, by the lake, in the cool of the evening

I am reading The Baby Whisperer

I am hearing sweet baby noises from Kilmeny's playpen.

Around the house...coral daisy in jar, white duvet on bed, stacks of library books

One of my favorite things:  morning run made extra early by a little Miss who was wide awake at 5:48, we joined the crowd of dog walkers and the faithful runners in pounding the track

A few plans for the rest of the week: reading, picture sorting, memory making, library vists, conversations with family

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...our salad from last night. I had prepared it and called Jared over to look at it before we dished up the beauty. He took a picture of it for me. Isn't he sweet? :-)

Day Book for June 15th  

FOR TODAY
Outside my window...a gentle breeze is playing with the window shades and the sounds of vehicles drift in....

I am thinking...about child training, personal discipline, the future, scrapbooking

I am thankful for...a refreshing morning walk after an up and down night with Kilmeny
From the kitchen...fresh granola and fresh coffee

I am wearing...a colorful tiered skirt with a blue peasant top, my feet are bare and my nails are painted pink

I am creating...a scrapbook of our world trip

I am going...at home this morning, happy thought!

I am reading...For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer MaCauley,  a thought-provoking read

I am hoping...to sell lots of baking this afternoon!

I am hearing...J practice the violin, Kilmeny explore her blanket

Around the house...gerbera daisies in glass, sun streaming on quilt, stack of paper waiting for pictures

One of my favorite things...cold lemon water

A few plans for the rest of the week....picture sorting, email writing, paper cutting, cookie baking, house cleaning

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...

Kilmeny's face when she wakes up from a nap and sees me, so rewarding!
