Looking out my window...
it's a beautiful, sunny day, 81 degrees, with a brisk breeze blowing. Birds are fluttering about the feeders in the front yard, singing and chirping in some nearby trees. A squirrel (one of four) sits in the tree, nibbling ears of corn my husband puts out for them...and are waiting patiently for me to throw out some peanuts for them as I do each morning :)
I am thinking...
that it is nice to do my daybook once again, after almost a year.
I am thankful...
for the opportunity to go on a family vacation this year, the first we've had in a very long time.
One of my favorite things...
sunny days, after a long stretch of rainy ones.
I am wearing...
jean capris and a purple t-shirt, barefeet
I am reading, watching, listening to...
Last night we spent the evening watching movies, "It Could Happen to You" and "Pride & Prejudice," as the rumble of thunder was heard in the distance. No storms for us, but more rain.
I am hoping...

I am hoping...
our little garden of pepper and tomato plants does well this summer.
I am learning...
how to mend holes in jeans, which does come in handy! Yesterday I mended a pair of my daughter's jean shorts which had gotten some holes in them, with the directions I found on Pinterest. Although I ended up breaking two sewing machine needles in the process, they turned out great--and definitely much cheaper than buying new.
In my kitchen...
today, being it's a Monday, we are having something simple for supper--sandwiches and chips
In my garden...
geraniums and lantana, hanging baskets of calibrachoa and verbena
A favorite quote for today...
"So do not fear for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Is. 41:10
A moment from my day...
Waiting for peanuts...
Closing notes...

I enjoyed reading your daybook, and I loved the picture of the squirrel! He looks so cute :)
ReplyDeleteWow, 80F in May! We started the day at 10C. Love the squirrel.
ReplyDeleteLoved your pictures and I agree with the sunny days after rainy ones as we have had lots of rainy and stormy ones including a small tornado so the sun today was nice
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog. I remember watching my grandma mend pants. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDelete81 degrees! Looking forward to seeing such lovely temps in SW Wisconsin!
ReplyDeleteJust jumping in for The Simple Woman's Daybook for the first time (with my PRACTICALLY AT HOME blog. Glad to find yours!
Love the geraniums.. I need to get some plants/flowers going outside. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love that you have squirrels waiting for you to feed them every morning! What a cutie. We don't actually have many of those around here ~ they seem to prefer more populated areas. And less cats! ;)
