The Old Rusty Lantern: My Daybook ~ May 23

For Today... Monday, May 23, 2016

Looking out my window... after a rainy weekend, the sun is shining again! Amazing how a little sun can make you feel so much better :) There is a small breeze, the birds are singing, the windchimes are chiming, and it's 64 degrees - which is supposed to be the high for today.

I am thinking... starting week 3 of exercises with my daughter. We do the 8 Minutes in the Morning exercises from Jorge Cruise, and also do Just Dance on the Wii :)

I am thankful... to be feeling better after a rough weekend being in bed with a migraine and nausea.

One of my favorite things... I have an obsession with strawberry Twizzlers. Lately, somehow, they always seem to end up in our grocery cart each week ;)

I am wearing... denim capris and a t-shirt, barefeet

I am creating... I started a rag quilt made from some of my husband's old shirts and jeans a few months ago that I plan to get back to work on soon. So easy to make, and thrifty, too :)

I am hoping... to get my carpets shampooed this week. I had planned to do it last week, but it didn't happen. I also hope the weather is nice this coming weekend, so we can have a picnic for Memorial Day.

In my kitchen... tonight for supper we will have hamburgers and tator tots. I usually always have something simple on Mondays.

In my garden... our purple Jackmanii clematis is trailing up the trellis on the side of our porch, all the way up to the roof. It isn't blooming yet, but it is going to beautiful when it does! Last year my peonies were blooming by this time, but so far this year, they are just budding. It won't be long though. My only wish is that beautiful flowers like this would bloom for a longer period of time!
