For Today
Looking out my window…it was a bright but chilly day.
I am thinking…the first half of our first term is almost done.
I am thankful…for my Dad, who celebrates his 73rd birthday today. ♥
One of my favorite things…getting a blog post up. 😉
I am creating…well, I took over the 6-year-old’s finger crochet project because he wasn’t really interested. Mr. L is doing well with his, though, and inspired Mr. E to try it, too.
I am wearing…blue tee, khaki pants, new favorite sweater
I am watching…The Great British Baking Show – kind of liking that Netflix isn’t releasing the season all at once this time – something to look forward to on Friday night.
I am hoping…to get caught up on some books for school over this week and next…
I am learning…how to learn French.
In my kitchen…a chemistry experiment and Dutch Puff 😉
In the school room…we watched both the piano and orchestral versions of much Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition on the Young People’s Concerts DVD today. Timely, since Mr. D is learning the Promenade and Mr. E is learning a simplified version of The Great Gates of Kiev. 🙂
In my garden…this beauty…

We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. […] There is nothing progressive about being pig headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world, it is pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We are on the wrong road. And if that is so, we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on. C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
A moment from my day…reading our history books together on the deck.
“One of my favorite things…getting a blog post up.” Now that you mention it, I realize that’s one of my favorites too. I just never thought about it until I saw your comment. Thanks. 😉
I enjoyed reading your October edition of The Simple Woman’s Daybook.
Wishing you glimpses of heaven in unexpected places.

Reading and outdoors are two of my favorite things so loved that picture. I really enjoyed finding your blog fromThe Simple Womans Daybook and hope to visit again soon and hope you might stop by mine too.
Hi Anna,
Visiting from the Simple Woman’s daybook. I too am learning French and look forward to Friday night and the Great British Baking Show. Enjoy your week.
