Tuesday is Daybook

For Today, Tuesday, June 1, 2010
(Can't believe it is June already!
Where did May go?)
Outside my window...  Overcast skies and light rain

is falling.  I am also observing a little "quail" who has

taken refuge underneath my cherry bush.  I love quail

and wish he would stay around for awhile.  Wonder

if there is a mate somewhere?

I am thinking...  Since it is raining and is supposed to

rain on and off today that I'll play in my sewing room. 

I am thankful for...  My daughter and her family who 

came last evening and trimmed my shrubs and brought

yummy "Baked Potato Soup" for dinner. 

I am wearing...  Long pants, shirt and flip flops.  It's

a little cooler this morning, not quite 50 F.

I am remembering...  To order a pattern that I keep

looking at again and again.  So I think I must

send for it as it keeps calling to me. 

I am going...  This afternoon with a friend to get some

bark  for my flower beds.

I am currently reading...  "Writing from Life, Telling

Your Soul's Story" by Susan Wittig Albert, PhD.

I am hoping...  That the sun will come out tomorrow,

tomorrow.

On my mind...  Nothing much.  Just thinking about

what project to work on downstairs. 

Noticing that...  Although it is lightly raining it hasn't

keep the little birds from singing and greeting the day.

Love having the patio door open and hearing their different

songs.

Pondering these words...  "The women of today are the

thoughts of their mothers and grandmothers, embodied, and

made alive.  They are active, capable, determined and bound

to win...Millions of women, dead and gone, are speaking

through us today."  Matilda Joslyn Gage, 1880

From the kitchen...  Sliced orange sprinkled with powdered

sugar and cereal.

Around the house...  I'm noticing the lovely drawings my

grandson's left me yesterday when they were visiting.  They

are my most treasured pictures.!

One of my favorite things...  Sitting on my patio, eating

breakfast and watching the robins running through my

yard.   They plus some little sparrows have discovered that

the cover to the sandbox makes a lovely bird bath!

I am wishing that...  My photo albums were caught

up!  Just can't seem to make myself work on them lately.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

1.  Determine what to use for back of pinwheel quilt.

Cheri will be here with my other quilt this weekend

and I need this one ready to go back with her.

2.  Work on flower bed at front of house

3.  Actually no special plans for the week as of yet. 

Will just see what each day brings.

From my picture journal...

Make it a great Tuesday!
