Today I
join with others in The Simple Woman’s Daybook group, a
weekly journal page that focuses on simple thoughts and simple living. My
leads are somewhat similar to others in the group, but somewhat different as
well. You may also like to read what some other simple women are saying and
doing these days. Hope you can stop by again soon!
Outside
my window....
Light snow falling and birds at the
feeder site outside my kitchen window. We do enjoy watching the birds feed
while we have our own meals. A constant reminder that if God so cares for the
sparrows (and cardinals, towhees, tufted titmouses, chickadees, finches...), He cares even more for all of us.
Thankful
for....
A warm home. It’s a verrrry cold 9 degrees this morning!
Noticing
the sound of ….
The furnace. My Beloved had the electricity
off for a little while working on the generator wiring. (Making sure all is reading in case we need it!) Sooo good to hear the
furnace back on!
Looking
forward to….
Hearing from my mother about her
doctor’s visit today.
Learning…
I tried to put music on my blog. Couldn’t figure it out, and learned, anyway, that it competes with other links that I might want to include in a post. Decided against it. Still trying to learn why the formatting goes wacky on my posts sometimes. Arghh!!

Pondering
these words....
“There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to
be a good one. “ ~ Jill Churchill
(I think the same would be said of a grandmother or a mother-in-law.)
A Peek
Into My Week…
 |
| My sewing room, where I spend some afternoon hours. |
Looking to the ways of my household....
Changing bed sheets today. Ironing pillow cases. Sometimes I like to iron the upper half of the top sheet. (Don’t want to give time to the lower part that’s under the cover, though.) Think I’ll do that this morning. Nothing like a freshly changed bed to crawl into at night!
Reading....
Just finished The Quilter’s Daughter by Wanda Brunstetter that a friend gave me.
Light reading for winter evenings. Encourages me to quilt on!
The fruit of my hands …
I finished hand-stitching some
kaleidoscopes this week for a throw quilt and got some of the corners done. Lovely! I’m hoping to finish it all in
hand-stitching, including the quilting. It’s going to be a gift, and I want it
to be extra special.
Growing…
I want to continuing growing in what
true love is—not the gushy kind and not the lusty kind. Still pondering the 23 Things That Love Is.
Thinking…
Praying that everyone stays safe on the roads today. We're under a heavy snow warning here. My Beloved went out in the truck earlier this morning to run an errand. More folks than he expected were out.
