The Simple Woman's Day Book


For Today~ May 22, 201

Out my window... 
cool and rainy!!







I am thinking...

our up-coming Sunday School event that I have been planning.. We are taking our church bus, driving to the next county to go to Attic Productions... and their May offering.. Mousetrap by Agatha Christie!!

Then we will drive back to Cracker Barrel for dinner!

Should be a very fun day!!!









I am thankful..


for my dear husband who at this moment is mowing our .75 of an acre... and he really doesn't exactly feel like it.. I wish he could be persuaded to wait until another day... but alas, the temps will only be hotter later in the week.. This is the part I don't like about this age!! Thankfully, he just stopped and will finish on another day!!!




I am wearing
my plum knit dress .. such a comfort on these kind of days. I look presentable, but I can also curl up with my book!!!





I am watching.....








This BBC show can be seen on Netflix and all the episodes are on You tube as well. Seen in the photo are my favorite hosts... 

Here is a synopsis:
'In each programme we discover why they want to move, what they're looking for and which part of Britain they've set their heart on. In their chosen area, they are shown three to four idyllic country properties that match their search criteria and their budget. The last option shown to them is a 'mystery' house, a property that challenges the buyers' perceptions about what they really want.


During their journey, the buyers also have the chance to enjoy country life; visiting beautiful local towns, touring iconic British homes and monuments or gaining hands-on experience of traditional rural crafts and pursuits; all in a bid to help them get a real idea of the local areas and decide on the place they’d most like to live."
I absolutely love this show!!!!







I am reading...

Jan Karon's book, 

Some where Safe with Somebody Good

such a charming read...




I am listening to...

Pandora.. Outlander station... love the Scottish music!!!


I am hoping...

my daughter feels better soon.... poor thing has two tots, and between they seem to be passing the crud a round back and forth... it is been a miserable winter and spring for them!!!


I am learning...

not to get upset by all the turmoil, deception, hatred, and ill reports going around all the time... I know God is in control and He is allowing it to happen for a reason... too, I am fully believing time is winding down!Therefore, I am also learning to be expectant about Christ's return. Maranatha!!!


In the kitchen...

I found this wonderful recipe for dinner...

slow cooker pork loin with peach chutney

I am thinking...
how very blessed we are....   and  it isn't anything we've done..  it is all  God!!

I am thankful..
that   God, the Father,  has provided  Dr.s  with the    ability   to  help their patients  with more and more non-invasive procedures that make  life so much more delightful..  Thank you, Father , for your loving care  you provide to us  through your  vessels  of medical acumen and  ability!

I am wearing...
jeans and  white blouse

I am watching.....
those    romantic chic flicks  on Hallmark
like Love Blossoms...

I am  reading...
Redeemed by  Angela Thomas- Pharr Bible Study
Psalms

I am listening to...

talk radio again,  but is Hubs  fault.

I am hoping...
to  have  face time with my girls  soon...  I'm anxious to hear about their fun weekend this past weekend

I am learning...

that  God has my back,,  all the time!!!

In the kitchen...
Hubs is actually making  it as I type..   fresh  corn on the cob, hot dogs, and  chips salsa  and  guacamole!!

In my garden~
My   beginnings of  a lavender  crop....

I am  loving my new variegated  geraniums.
 I have high hopes for this  potted garden  as  it  really   gets started!!
 Angel wing begonias always do well in this area..   I believe this plant has  grown  a bit in just a few days!
 I am loving  the blue salvia  perennial along with the  yellow yarrow!!
Finally, the Knock Out roses   are    making a statement


Board Room

Yes, when  Hubs  is in the kitchen it has to be talk radio,  and as my computer station is in here  I have  do follow suit,  but    I much much prefer to be listening to anything on my pinterest list,  such as  music by Kevin Kern,  Yiruma,  Beegie Adair, Anuna,  Dougie Mc Lean, and  Christ Botti.  Check some out at my pinterest page.
