Daybook

 For Today, May 18, 2010
Outside my window:   Sky is overcast, heavy with dark
ominous clouds that threaten more rain tonight.  It
has rained most of the day.  As I'm typing this rain is
starting to fall from the sky.
I am thinking...  How upset I am with myself.  Just
downloaded pictures took today at Thanksgiving
Point Gardens, indicated on my program to delete
originals from camera (which I normally do not do) and wouldn't
you know the program quit unexpectedly and now I
have lost 25 pictures.  They popped up for a minute and
I was so excited to see all the tulips, Mother owl and
her two babies, Two Canadian Geese with their three
baby goslings.  Now they're all gone.   Crying, crying,
crying!
I am thankful for...  The memories I will have of this

day spent with my sister and her husband.  Pictures

I hope that will stay in my mind of the beauties

we saw.
From the learning rooms... Do not click delete originals 

until you're sure everything is OK.
From the kitchen...  A snack of yummy yogurt calling me.
I am wearing...  Levi's, tee shirt, socks.  Do I ever wear anything 
different?  Yes, Sunday, a dress.
I am creating...  Pillow case dresses and am having so

much fun!  Just hope the little girls that receive them

will enjoy them.
I am going...  Do a little stitching when finished here.  
I am hoping...  To visit the nursery tomorrow and purchase

some bedding plants.
I am hearing...  Rain outside on my patio roof.
Around the house...  TV softly in the background.  No

idea what is on or why it is even on.
One of my favorite things...  When I was little was playing in

the rain, jumping in puddles, and just enjoying feeling the

rain on my face.
A few plans for the rest of the week:

1.  Plant flowers

2.  Sew more pillow case dresses

3.  Do some birthday shopping

4.  Organize fabric bolts...shelves are getting empty!

5.  Agonize over which quilt project is next...

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

These are not the pictures I had planned on sharing but will

have to do since I lost the ones of Mother Owl and her

two babies.  The Canadian Geese and three goslings were

right in front of us as they glided into the water.  

These are more of the pelicans at the ponds emerging

from the cattails, moving onto the water and silently

gliding along in parade form.

 Holding onto happy memories...
