Simple Woman's Daybook



For today... Sunday, June 24, 2012

Outside my window... Cloudy and damp from the rain overnight.

I am thinking... That hopefully it won't be too wet to do some work in the garden later today.

I am thankful for... at least trying to be thankful for rain.

From the kitchen...

~Tuesday: Beef 'n Broccoli, Rice, Baked Zucchini, Salad, Poppy Seed Cake
~Wednesday:  Simple Chicken Bake, Broccoli, Turnip, Salad, Strawberry Angel Food Cake
~Thursday: Italian Bow Tie Supper (Crockpot), Ceasar Salad, Garlic Bread, Chocolate Pudding Pie
~Friday: Cod Espano, Rice, Zucchini Cakes, Salad, Poppy Seed Cake
~Saturday: Leftover Smorg

I am wearing... Floral skirt, red top.

I am creating... A Forgotten Garden

I am reading... A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George

I am praying for... My family.

Pondering these words... “Because of God's knowledge, you and I are always understood.”  ~Elizabeth George~

I am still hoping... To go camping.

I am hearing... Mourning doves cooing, the clock ticking softly, the dog shifting to find a comfortable spot.

Around the house... I need to do some tidying.

One of my favorite things... Family time!

A few plans for the rest of the week... A quiet week at home, hopefully able to work in the garden and get some projects done.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...


Flowers in my yard.

  5. Wow, you are one of those women who inspire me with your weekly menu all planned. I am such a procrastinator!! One of these days I will accomplish that. I also would love to freeze meals ahead of time and use the crockpot. I always forget to use the crockpot.

    The book, A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George, is a wonderful book. I have read it over 4 times and I always go back to it. Its the type of book that is definitely a reference book for life and a go to book. You will love it.

    God bless, am glad that you commented on my blog, thank you, now I have found another wonderful blog, yours!
