Looking out from my back porch... slight breeze, sunny with a few clouds in the bright blue sky.
I am thinking about… my day and my week … such big plans. Nothing grand, mind you, just a lot to get done in the garden and around the house.
I am thankful for... family.
I am reading… ‘In Name Only’ by Ellen Gable. This is her second Catholic fiction book and she won an Independent Publisher Book Award on this book.
I am hoping... to figure out our family’s schedule by the end of the week! I say I’m flexible, but things always fly a little better when I have a schedule for reference. Also, a nasty cold has been making it’s way through our family. I hope it ends soon.
I am hearing... the boys are downstairs playing & chattering to themselves. Angelina is quietly reading.
I am wearing…jean capris & a light blue t-shirt.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… since we just returned home, the laundry is REALLY occupying the room. It’s being tackled, though.
From the school room... I sure hope to finish up Dash’s Latin lesson plans later this week. Otherwise, my last shipment arrived this past week, so I’m set on all my supplies.
From the kitchen... Zeke and I made chocolate zucchini cake and Angelina made banana bars this morning. My MIL called to let me know she has extra apples … applesauce will be made this week (or next week).
From the garden… who knew that eggplants were just as prolific as zucchini. One plant is great plenty and I certainly didn’t need to look for a 2 pack that had a bonus third plant!
State of the house… Dash vacuumed this morning … his little ‘punishment’/thank you for me taking him to his FB practice this morning at 6:20am when the practice was actually at 3:30pm this afternoon. Yep, I was a bit steamed!
A successful moment… the luggage is unpacked and stored.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: Dash starts FB practice, Eric is off to the Clover Classic Golf Tourney, Small Grain Harvest
Tuesday-Wednesday: Small Grain Harvest, Canning (pickles, applesauce), Cleaning/Laundry
Thursday: First EC meeting of the new school year this evening.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Chicken Harvest, Eric’s Birthday on Saturday
A picture memory... it’s almost time for peaches … in lugs!!!
What a coincidence! I have a child who is currently engaged in a similar domestic activity of "thanks"--punishment for not blessing her sibling with her words.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Feels like Monday :)
Looking forward to hearing about your vacation!
Thanks for the reminder of the peaches! Can't wait! Just need your famous recipe :)
