The Simple Woman's Daybook

This is something I used to enjoy doing once in a while. I am going to try to keep it up a little bit in my journal and post it on here when I can. I did this one awhile ago.

The idea came from the Simple Woman blog.

For... Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Outside my window... the garden is looking wonderful, the corn is tall, the squash is blooming, the tomatoes ripening. Andrew is out there building a compost bin.

I am thinking... about how how close it is until the baby is born. The time has passed so fast, it is amazing to think about.

I am thankful for... Andrew's improved health. It is wonderful to see him up and active again. For our baby soon to be born. And for our hom, garden and animals.

From the kitchen.. comes the spicy aroma of apricot butter cooking down in the crockpot. I also made some goat cheese that is hanging to drain.

I am wearing... a green and blue plaid jumper over a green t-shirt, brown flip-flops and a ponytail.

I am creating... umm, nothing right now.

I am going... to pick some lettuce and carrots for the salad tonight.

I am reading... currently nothing, but I just finished Joel Salatin's "Everything I Want to Do is Illegal". It was very enjoyable.

I am hoping... that we get a good harvest from the garden, especially the tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and squash.

I am hearing... the washing machine in the other room and the goat crying outside becuase she is lonely.

Around the house... generally needs to be cleaned up, laundry folded, books put away, piles of stuff organized.

One of my favorite things... is sharing my life with my true love... working, laughing. dreaming together.
