The Simple Woman's Daybook 26 August 2013

Outside my window...the sun and clouds are battling it out for supremacy.  I fear the clouds may win.  After the past two nearly perfect days I know that we would eventually have to suffer a few less than perfect days weather-wise.  I like to think that the memory of the beauty of the days past will help the coming days pass.

I am thinking....about the pile of work that is needing my attention.  It seems that each time I turn my back it grows taller.  I tell everyone that if I wasn't busy I would be in trouble so thank God for a growing work load.

I am thankful for...dear friends and lots of family.

From the kitchen...there are heaps of leftovers from the party yesterday.

I am wearing...jeans and a purple tee shirt.

I am creating...a pile of finished work that will, hopefully, exceed the to do pile.

I am going...nowhere for the next couple of days.  MK needs the car tomorrow and I have nothing pressing until Thursday.

I am reading...Dean Koontz's Intensity

I am hoping...for sunshine and dry weather so that Ian can get the rest of his hay.

I am hearing...Layn coughing in the kitchen, Melissa fixing lunch for Ian and herself, and MK packing various parts of my sewing room away into boxes.

Around the house...there is disorder and chaos.

One of my favorite things...watching the children change and grow with every passing day.

A few plans for the rest of the week...making a large dent in the stack of to do's while maintaining the high level of quality that my customers have come to expect.

Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you...

We had a party yesterday and a friend too this pic of Layn and I.  I love the smile on his face.

We've had lots of rain...and it is sooo welcomed.

I have so much waiting on me too, I figure if I get three of the most important things done a day and dinner, I'm doing good.

Love that photo, that Layn is such a precious little boy...Beautiful shot.

Bless you Ann!
