Simple Woman's Daybook

Am I a simple woman? I don't know, but I try not to be too complicated! Peggy at The Simple Woman has a great idea, The Simple Woman's Daybook. It is a chance to stop and think about the beauty of life, family, and all that is around you. Each Monday you can visit Peggy to see her thoughts, or even better, participate!

FOR May 19, 2008
Outside my window the wind is blowing the trees gently. From my 3rd floor window I can see all the little white puffs of dandelion blowing out over the neighborhood. There are so many at first I wasn't sure what it was! It looks like little magical fairies floating off to grant wishes, not gross seeds dispersing all over town!
In the kitchen I am making a big pasta primavera salad with chicken that will last several days. I like having something more than a sandwich if someone stops in. I am not a big chef, being a single person, but I do like to have some home made things each week.
I am wearing cotton capris, my Birki thongs, and a t-shirt.
I am creating an organizational system in my craft room. Then it's on to the next project!
I am reading The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King, a great story about Sherlock Holmes in his later "retirement" years.
I am hoping to meet a friend for an ice cream cone this evening! Homemade waffle cones are a big treat!
I am hearing my neighbors playing badmitton. They are laughing and having so much fun!
Around the house there is only dusting left to do!
One of my favorite things is sitting on my deck sipping iced tea and reading in the mid-morning while the rest of the world is at work!
The Rest Of The Week: A busy week in store as we head into Memorial Day weekend. I will be going to the doctor in Boston for most of the day Tuesday, volunteering at the middle school on Wednesday and Thursday and cleaning up to get ready to go away on Friday!
