Outside my window... ~ it is cool, the early morning air smells sweet
I am thinking... ~ about the teaching we listened to over Sabbath
I am thankful... ~ that the 19th passed without another tragedy
I am wearing... ~ still wearing my pajamas, ~ barefoot
I am remembering... ~ some scenes from another April that will be forever engraved on my mind
I am going... ~to work on the house today, schoolwork, and hopefully play in the dirt (the garden, not the dust inside)
I am currently reading... ~ Here Burns My Candle by Liz Curtis Higgs
I am hoping... ~for lots of sunshine (& Sonshine) this week
On my mind... ~ my sister
Noticing that... ~ my to do list exceeds my energy gage more often than I like
Pondering these words...
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
From the kitchen... ~ the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, later today grilled chicken
Around the house... ~ all is still quiet, peaceful
In the barn ~ we have a sick nanny goat (Buttercup)
One of my favorite things ~ family
From my picture journal:
From a field trip.

Nice entry. What is Here Burns My Candle about?
ReplyDeleteCandle scent--Vanilla.
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and commenting.
Here Burns My Candle is historical fiction, that is set in Scotland in the 1700's. It parallels the Book of Ruth. I just started it last night, so haven't gotten very far. However, I always love Liz's books, so I know I won't be disappointed.
Have you read any of her books?
Blessings,
Cheryl
Posting this here and in your comments.
Glad I found your Daybook. Trusting your anxiety about the date will ease. Thanks for coming over to see my page and your kind comments etc.

This is beautiful. Where was the field trip? Looks like something we would like. I hadn't thought about baked bread, which reminds of cinnamon rolls. My house always smells like beans and corn bread. If I have them I heat of cloves in water, it helps.
ReplyDeleteHi T.MOM, actually it was local. There is a group here who have formed and they work very hard at not allowing the history of our area (Pontotoc County) pass away.
ReplyDeleteThe lady featured is Dr. Ann Kleeper. She was our children's doctor for years.;-)
