Outside my Window…Bright, golden October sunshine, azure blue skies, a stiff autumn breeze making the leaves and branches sway and sending shadows dancing along hte walls in my office.

I am thinking…That the new school schedule seems to be perfect.
From the learning rooms…New schedule, more challenging but more orderly.  The kids will have to do much on their own.

I am thankful for…A large stack of firewood

From the kitchen…pot roast with vegetables, peanut butter and jelly blondies to be posted on Baking Delights later today.

I am wearing…Olive green cargo pants,burgundy shirt, olive green sweater

I am reading…Everyday Pasta

I am hoping…Marc’s disability comes in soon.  We know they raised it..just not how much.

I am creating…a new schedule…I am accepting that although I am still home my circumstances have changed and I am no longer primarily a stay at home mom, but a work at home mom…So everyone (including me) needs to let go of the past and face the right now.

I am hearing…The kids talking, Kyrie rummaging in a desk for colored pencils

Around the house…Kitchen to clean from my mess this morning

One of my favorite things…reading in front of a fire..we had our first fire in the fire place on friday night…ahhh

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Harvest party on Friday night!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

Welcome to another week!

I hope that your weekend was incredible.  The weather is definitely cooling off here, very odd for Texas this time of year but I am not complaining!

Here are my thoughts for today.

Outside my Window …golden morning light is filtering through the trees.  There is not even the hint of a breeze and everything is still.

I am thinking…I need to grocery shop.  The pantry really is nearly bare.

From the learning rooms…nothing really new..We are working to get Nick reading.

I am thankful for…the cookbook is done!

From the kitchen…Whole wheat raisin and pecan muffins in the oven..they are smelling good about now.

I am wearing…red satin pajamas

I am reading…my vintage cookbooks

I am hoping…to get my advance from the publisher SOON.

I am creating…a new venture

I am hearing..Quiet…with a few shots in the distance…the kids are still asleep..and it must be dove season?

Around the house...too much to do.

One of my favorite things…pumpkin lattes

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Take Marc to the VA tomorrow, research some articles I am writing…

The Simple Woman’s Daybook -Sept 8

For Today…

Outside my Window…The sun is all ready a force to be reckoned with. We have had 104 days lately! The birds are chirping. I can hear the clanging of the feed buckets as my son feed the goats and chickens.

I am thinking…I am sorry we missed blueberry picking this year. We missed last year because Marc was int he hospital, this year we just lost track of time and waited too long. :::Sniff::: and we missed it by ONE DAY.

I am thankful for…Marc’s health is improving! Thank you for your prayers!

From the kitchen…I have a Daring Bakers Challenge due on Wednesday that I need to do today!

I am creating… a cookbook! I have a contract to write a cookbook.

I am going… grocery shopping for sure! Our cupboards are bare.

I am wearing…Pajamas, as usual.

I am reading…Not much right now!

I am hoping…The tenant that has our investment home tied up in county court moves before the mortgage company forecloses..she has not paid rent since February..sigh..
I am hearing…The click of the ceiling fan in the Reception Parlor

Around the house… We deep cleaned on Saturday..so just picking up and tying up loose ends today.

One of my favorite things…The quiet house in the morning.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Blogging, and working ont he cookbook, reorganizing the schedule.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…
