FOR TODAY... July 13, 2009


Outside my window... Our garden, beautiful blue skies, and dragonflies!


I am thinking... about the nightgown I am going to sew for my cousin who is visiting us this week.


I am thankful for... the wind... it is quite hot these days, but the wind this morning is delightful! Thank you Lord!


From the kitchen... Breakfast dishes, and LOTS of apricots!


I am wearing... Chore clothes... A heather gray Handi-Riders tee shirt, and a long denim skirt.


I am creating... sewing projects, in my mind. :)


I am going... nowhere today!


I am reading... my Bible, and Hood.


I am hoping... to bake something today, probably something containing apricots.


I am hearing... the kids playing, the wind blowing, and the garbage truck.


Around the house... Sam climbing on his barn, Ethan getting the mail, rooms to tidy up.


One of my favorite things... when the dragonflies come for the summer!


A few plans for the rest of the week: Joe & Ethan's birthday on Wednesday, a party for them on Friday, maybe some farmers market on Saturday.


Here is picture thought I am sharing...

I was tagged by Lady Jess, then Hannah, then Caroline.
The rules: go into your 6th folder and select the 6th photo. This picture is from sooooo long ago, back when I had just gotten my Kodak point-n-shoot.
