My Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY: Published this one on Oct. 18th.

Outside my window . . . It's a downright dreary day out there. There's no rain or wind but definitely no sun either. We have some changes in the weather coming and none of it sounds good.

I am thinking . . . that I overdid things yesterday.  Bob Noyes pressure washed the driveway and sidewalk on Saturday. Yesterday I did the acid wash and will tape the edges of everything today.

I am thankful . . . that Christopher will come on Friday and paint the entire area for me.  It's wonderful to have sons who are willing to help w/o even being asked to.

From the learning rooms . . . I've learned a lot about how to prepare a concrete driveway for painting.

I am wearing . . . jean bermudas, a blue Fresh Produce tee and footlets.

I am creating . . .

I am going . . . the Doctor today to have the staples removed and the pacemaker checked.

I am wondering . . . if it's gonna rain today as predicted.

I am reading . . . 

I am hoping . . . that I can stay away from Doctor's for a while.

Around the house . . . another load of whites in the washer. Ironing is starting to collect again. Darn!

I am pondering . . .   What is holding me back?  What keeps getting in my way or holding me back?  What clutter can be cleared from my home and life?

One of my favorite things . . . MacIntosh apples

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . Not much planned except for Chris coming on Friday. Can't wait to see what other fun stuff comes my way this week.

Here is picture I am sharing . . .
