For Today...September 21, 2009

Outside My Window...it is a gorgeous evening. The sky is bright blue and the sun is casting long shadows, coating everything in a golden hue.

I am thinking...of all I hope to accomplish in the next few months. It doesn't make me feel quite as overwhelmed as it did before.
I am thankful for...so many choices. Sometimes it is almost overwhelming, but I am still glad for the freedom to have so many.
From the learning rooms...loving Exploring Countries and Cultures from My Father's World. Gabe and I are having a very fun time with this curriculum. We also added in Shurley Grammar today. This is a new curriculum for us.
From the kitchen...Bessie made her yummy macaroni and cheese.
I am wearing...black pants and a dark green long-sleeved shirt.
I am creating...a new cross-stitch block.
I am going...to accept the peace God is giving me right now. Even when things aren't the way I had hoped.
I am reading...a suspense novel by Elizabeth Peters.
I am hoping...that Dan continues to get better.
I am hearing...someone in the kitchen, the nightly sounds of the neighbor's dirt bike and a beginning sounds of the night creatures.
Around the house...so many areas to organize and declutter...we're getting there.
One of my favorite things...cool fall nights and flannel sheets to cozy into.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...keep adding subjects to our schedule. We are almost up to speed.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing Brian and I were sitting out in the yard and this little guy climbed up the bush and went into the birdhouse. He seemed quite content to sit there. I wonder if he is planning on making this his winter home?
