The Simple Woman’s Daybook for September 12, 2016

Looking out my window…the sky earlier today:

I am thinking…September might be a bit crazy.

I am thankful…we were able to get a second vehicle a few months ago, for the first time in 15 years of marriage. We definitely need it in this season of life.

I am creating…a chalkboard and picture thingy for the dining room wall – hopefully it turns out…

I am wearing…floral tee and grey skirt

I watched…Ruby Bridges – I had never heard of this movie before I followed a link my cousin posted on Facebook – so good. Going to watch it with the kids sometime.

I am hoping…we can get the rest of the downstairs painted soon – painters coming tomorrow to get an estimate!

I am learning…about William of Orange – started the next Churchill book.

In my kitchen…a simple supper that everyone loves: cook up chicken tenders in a pan and add to pasta along with a jar of pesto sauce.

In the school room…sort of 😉

In my garden…the lettuce I planted before vacation doesn’t seem to have sprouted. 🙁

Gets me every time: “You see Veronica,” said Petunia, “When we do what we can with what we have, everyone is happy.” From my childhood favorite, Veronica, by Roger Duvoisin (sadly out of print).

Closing Notes
Miss A has been participating in a drawing challenge this month and posting the pictures on her blog. Today’s was pretty funny, at least for her Canadian-born parents – check it out! 🙂
