For today...
Tuesday, November 30, 2021

Looking out my window...

I am thinking...
Of how windy it has been but it keeps the snow away.

I am thankful for...
The Christmas season.

One of my favorite things...
Instrumental music.

I am creating...
A clean craft room.

I am wearing... 
Black jeans and a red plaid shirt.

I am hearing...
My wind chimes.

I am reading... 
Dune by Frank Herbert
and
Subversive Sabbath by A.J. Swoboda

Around the house... 
Christmas decorating.

In my kitchen...


In my garden...

Pondering these words... 
"We become what we think about."

Tuesday, November 2, 2021

Looking out my window...


I am thinking...
Of how I am not ready for winter to begin.

I am thankful for...
That we have had such a long, beautiful fall.

One of my favorite things...
Feeding the birds.

I am creating...
~Coloring pages with a new book & watercolor pencils~

I am wearing... 
Black joggers and a red sweatshirt.

I am hearing...
The fireplace.

I am reading... 
Dune by Frank Herbert

Around the house... 
It is time to start putting away fall decor
and to start thinking Christmas.

In my kitchen...
~Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting~

In my garden...



Pondering these words... 
"True community is not born of our efforts 
in creating a sense of community--it is the natural
outcome from the act of loving other people."
