For Today


Outside my window... Gorgeous sunny skies with a light dusting of clouds, kids running maniacally through the sprinkler.

I am thinking... I'm never truly in love with my garden until the pea plants start winding their way up the trellis and letting their blossoms out. I will have to remember that for next year, and start those babies earlier.

I am thankful for... My husband, who works so hard so that the kids and I can stay home and enjoy the pleasures of home life.

From the kitchen... barbecuing some chicken pieces for dinner, maybe whip up some brownies for afterwards.

I am wearing... a hot pink tank top and khaki capris.

I am hoping... that my husband is blessed on his trip to Atlanta, and that the people he meets feel blessed by his thoughts and ideas.

I am praying... that I hear God better, and develop a stronger craving for His word. I want that relationship to grow deeper and deeper every day.

I am listening to...silly laughing and giggling from the sopping wet kiddos.

Around the house... I'm going to take the gigantic pile of newspapers and bags of giveaway clothes out to recycling and Salvation Army, respectively. Looking through old Home Companion magazines for inspiration for decorating (and completing multiple unfinished projects).

One of my favorite things... sunny days and taking my time.

A few plans for the rest of the week... some extra housework while Paul's away, since I don't have him to cuddle and talk with in my restless hours. Complete homeschool planning and purchases and set up our school zone.
