The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today June 16th 2008...

Outside My Window... The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly. It is quite hot outside today. That should help the garden grow.

I am thinking... that there are many things I should be doing right now rather that blogging. There is a whole list on my dresser.

I am thankful for... my family, especially my dad right now. Also that there is only one week left until Andrew comes back!

From the kitchen... my sister is making cornbread.

I am wearing... one of my denim skirts and a purple shirt, My feet are bare and not particularly clean after being in the garden. I have my hair back in a ponytail.

I am creating... bridesmaid dresses. On Saturday Sharon, Melissa and, I nearly completed Sharon's. Now I just need to hem it and finish the lining.

I am going... to someones house this evening to look over embroidery patterns, and then to a coffee shop to meet a friend who is a florist to discuss wedding flowers.

I am reading... well, still Cranford a little, I'm only a few chapters into it.

I am hoping... that the seeds and flowers I planted will bloom in September.

I am hearing... a few birds outside, somebody in the kitchen, overall it is pretty quite.

Around the house... some cute new fabric waiting to be ironed, a messy room needing straightening, seeds to plant, lettuce from the garden to wash, and lists to check off.

One of my favorite things... is chocolate cupcakes. We had some last night and there are some left over, maybe I can have one for after lunch.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: planting, ironing, sewing, cleaning, writing, reading, planning, and so much more!

Here is picture thought I am sharing... nectarines ripening on the tree.
