Outside my window... It is 5:47 and the world doesn't seem to be awake yet! It 26 degrees and no sign of moisture in the forecast. We have had no snow this season except for a little skiff mid January which didn't amount to much. I am becoming concerned about a drought this year.
I am thinking... what I can do to actually plant some of our food this spring and summer. last year we did have tomatoes, which did alright, nothing great- Our yard has never been very suitable for planting food because of the shade, but with the dry years and dying trees that is not such a problem anymore. I am thinking planting more vegetables might be a good idea.
I am thankful for... my family, my church, and my life. God is so good!
From the kitchen... I am planning a visit up the valley to the Cheese Shop which sells foods in bulk. I am thinking about what I might begin to squirrel away!
I am wearing... I haven't dressed yet, but will be donning jeans and a sweater set.
I am reading... Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell.
I am hoping... to find just the right fabric this week for my next project-
I am creating... a new tablecloth to go with my new dishes. I got a set of the pink transferware china, Brook, by Churchill.I am looking for a pink toile on chintz or something similar.
I am hearing... absolutely nothing except the fan on my computer. It is so quiet here this morning.
Around the house... I have some cleaning, ordering, and putting away this week. I am having 3 other couples for a dinner party Saturday night from our Sunday School class. We have started conversational dinner and I am hosting this month. I want to spring it up around here.
One of my favorite things... is changing the decor seasonally. I bought the cutest "olde world" looking planter this weekend at Tuesday Morning and want to go to Michael's to purchase something with a trailing vine.
A few plans for the rest of the week... .This morning Lynn is taking me to breakfast and then I have an eye appointment, then I am fabric shopping.
My Beth Moore study tomorrow which I have missed the last few weeks, so I will be going for the fellowship, and hopefully a couple of us will go for lunch or coffee afterwards. Wednesday the ageless Group to which I take refreshments with my mom. She is making a dump cake and I don't know yet what I am taking. Then Wednesday night fellowship dinner at church and Christian World view class which is fabulous!!!! Nothing much so far on Thurs. or Fri., and the dinner party on Saturday. I should have plenty of time for getting somethings done here around the house!
Here is a picture I'd like to share with you...
This is one of my favorite sites in my hometown. I have loved this sign every since I can remember. we used to produce this coffee here, but thank goodness we still sport the sign. It is one of our most famous icons. And I think I smell coffee brewing downstairs now. Bless Lynn's little pea-pickin' heart!
Good morning, Schotzy!! Loved reading your daybook, and this neat sign!! Sounds like your week is well-planned, and you must share your new tableware and tablecloth when you finish it!!
ReplyDeleteI had my coffee and breakfast and now it's time for school with my Maddy!
Sunshiney blessings,

Lovely day book entry Schotzy. I Love the writings of Beth Moore. How wonderful that you are going to be able to attend a Beth Moore study!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a terrible no-snow year for us and our favorite lake is gone, just dried up! It worries me. Nice post today.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Day!

ReplyDeleteI love that sign. I can see why you got attached to it. :-)
Hello! I always enjoy reading your day books! You'll have to post photos of your table cloth when you finish. I was just thinking today how I need to buy a new one for my table. I never thought of making one... Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a busy week planned. I really enjoyed reading your post. And giving us all a peek into your life... Thank you.
