The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window, a blue jay is taunting me on the lawn. I know if I went to get my camera he would fly away. Lovely colours on his feathers, cheekiness in his heart.

I am hearing, my hubby and employee in the living room talking about a case they are working on.

I am wearing black Adidas trackpants and a black t-shirt. White New Balance runners.

I am thinking that I really should be getting some dinner on the go but I do love to post!

I am wondering how I am ever going to get all that I have to do done in this week. I need more time!!

I am grateful for so many things, so grateful I had to write a list a couple of posts back about my gratitude for that one simple day. Check it out if you have extra time.

From the kitchen, will soon have emanating the smells of Pork Chops and Greek Salad. Nothing now, its clean and waiting for me to get there!

I am going for a long walk in the park after I get supper over and done with. Love the light evenings now, they are cooler and much more fun to walk in.

I am reading a book on Light and Exposure of Photography. Just finished "The Diary" by Eileen Goudge. It reminded me of my mom when I was reading that.

I am hoping that my busy week goes off without a hitch, everything that has to get done is done in timely fashion and I am not too tired at the end of it all!!

Around the house Spring Cleaning is happening the past week or so. So nice to de-clutter and claim my spaces back from it.

One of my favorite things lately has been sitting outside on the sundeck at our brand new table and eating supper with my hubby. No TV, no radio, just him and I am nature.

Something you may not know about me is that I love being able to go to the beach and wander along the shores, I could spend hours just watching the waves.

And a photo I would like to share with you all, I love being home, spending time in my home. After a long day at work and my two hours commute in the day, there is no place like home. I am sure we all think the same of our own homes, and they do come in many shapes and sizes. This Paper Wasp Nest that I found in my back yard yesterday was home sweet home to a Wasp at one time, and I think they probably liked it just as much as I like my home.

Simple Woman's Daybook

1.)Outside my window: I am watching my hubby cook some Spare Ribs for supper. If I had smell-o-vision I could send some of the heavenly scents your way!
2.) I am thinking: about how nice and quiet of a day it has been, even though we had a lot to accomplish in it. We did not get all we had to do done, but that's okay. It's time to relax now.
3.) I am thankful for: The extra day off I had today, even though I ended up not needing it for the reason I took the day off. Got to like it when things like that happen!
4.) Supper is being cooked for me while I type this. The sound of busyness (is that a word?) is happening and its not me making the noise!
5.) I am wearing: Some track pants and a sweat shirt. I just got back from a walk around the park behind my house. My exercise for the day!
6.) I am going: to work tomorrow. Because of today being off work, it will be a short week!
7.) I am reading: Color Correction, a how to book for Photoshop, in my neverending quest to become a better photographer, I read what I can get my hands on!
8.) I am hoping: For a quiet week at work and at home so I can study my stuff needed to go over for my court next week. I am hoping that if I am prepared, I won't be too stressed about it all.
9.) I am hearing: The evening news on the TV and the buzz of the computer's here in the office.
10.) Around the house: I actually started some yard work today, cleaning up the winter deadfall, trimming the trees. Got to give the flowers room to grow!!
11.) One of my favorite things: Once again, it is Ribs the way my hubby cooks them. No one can whip up a barbeque sauce like he can. And a glass of red wine to go with dinner!
12.) A few plans for the rest of the week: Meetings the next three days at work, Survivor night over at my friend Sally's place on Thursday and the weekend with my hubby! Oh and my kitten gets her stitches out on Friday and I know she will get a clean bill of health!!
13.) A picture I want to share with you:

For Today.....

Outside my window: It is dark and cloudy out. And cold!!

I am thinking: That I have to be up early and should really be in bed. Its been a long day.

I am thankful: that tonight my children are safe and I know where they are.

From the kitchen: I just finished cleaning up after supper.

I am wearing: A pair of black Yoga pants and a grey sweater. And white socks!!

I am creating: a huge pile of laundry that needs my attention!!

I am going: To work in the morning and to bed after this is done!!

I am reading: A John Grisham book. A true life mystery book.

I am hoping: That my friend Wes who has been missing for the past 26 days now will be found safe and sound and this whole nightmare will come to an end on a happy note.

Around the house: The dryer is going, the cat is asleep on the couch, my hubby is working on his computer and I have a nice glass of wine to enjoy while I type this out.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Its a full five day week at work so just work, driving to and fro and sleep to get to the end of it.

Once again I have typed out the entire post and forgot to put a picture to share with everyone. Doh!!!!! So I have downloaded the picture and can not figure out how to get it from the top of the post down to the bottom of the post so it is going to be the first thing you get to see. This is some of the forested area of Hayward Park Hiking Trails we searched on this past weekend for my friend Wes. It's beautiful country to visit even for the reasons I found myself there on Saturday.

The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today...

Outside my window.... It is morning, a cloudy day but the air feels warm and the sun is trying to peek through. I think the day will be dry-a good day to go for a long walk.

From the kitchen.... its quiet there right now but I am going to make my Hubby a big breakfast when he wakes up!! Steak and Eggs and Toast.

I am wearing.... Blue Jeans, a blue striped long sleeve top and my New Balance runners.

I am creating.... Plans for my brother's visit this week. He arrives on Wednesday!!

I am going.... To finish up house chores today and make sure the house is clean and ready for his visit.

I am reading.... Lost by Stephanie Meyer, the same author who wrote the Twilight series.

I am hoping.... That my hubby wakes up soon! I am hungry!!

I am hearing.... the hum of my computer and the occasional tires of the cars outside in the cul-de-sac.

Around the house.... it is a quiet peaceful morning, everyone but me is sleeping. I like these quiet moments, it allows me time to gather my thoughts.

One of my favorite things.... is the Coffee Frother my sister gave me for Christmas this year. Coffee in the morning seems so much more sophisticated when it wears a frothy layer of creamy bubbles.

A few plans for the rest of the week are.... planning my brother's visit here so we have fun things to do and visit. He loves being a tourist in town. And I work for the next two days as well then the rest of the week off to enjoy!!

Here is picture thought I am sharing..... I found this lovely park bench in the middle of a huge Community garden I discovered last week. I just think it looks so inviting to sit down on for a spell and enjoy the sights, sounds around you and contemplate. Life rushes by fast enough it just calls to slow down for a minute and take a breather.
