for today...

outside my window... raining and 52F

i am thinking... happy Easter, happy Spring, happy happy Everything!

i am thankful for... invitations from friends for Sunday dinner

i am wearing... vintage jeans, white cotton shirt, an embroidered Easter sweater

i am going... to spend Easter Sunday with my Mom

i am currently reading... Watership Down and Eggs & Cheese

i am hoping... to start a new photojournaling project, Double Take @ the tattered pear

on my mind... increasing gas prices *sigh*

pondering these words... "a late Easter, a long cold spring," French Proverb

from the kitchen... garlic teriyaki chicken wings on the fusion grill, rice pilaf and long green beans

around the house... it smells like hyacinths

one of my favorite things... blooming spring bulbs

i'm creating... finishing touches for the May blog header

a few plans for the week... rain is forecasted for the next several days, so I'm planning on getting some projects done around the house, edit photos, #10 and #11 ADSR6 challenges

from my lens:

Easter Sunday visit with my Mom @ the Nursing Home
lots of goodies & presents, you can see she was just thrilled to see me

it's just not Easter without flowers, and to make my day, a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny himself!

you can join the simple woman's daybook where every day is a blank page, and participate in creating a list of the simple things and everyday moments of our daily lives.

for today...

outside my window... the snow on the hilltop is all that remains, it's 52F

i am thinking... Spring has finally arrived!

i am thankful for... the return of the songbirds

i am wearing... khaki pants, an animal print shirt, and my Birkenstocks
(snow boots not required) *yippie*

i am going... to the Nursing Home with Easter decorations & flowers for Mom's room

i am currently reading... Great Women Chefs, by Julie Stillman

i am hoping... to see tonight's Grand Finale episode of Chopped-All Stars on Food TV

on my mind... this month's utility bill *yikes*

pondering these words... April showers bring May flowers

from the kitchen... chicken in the rotisserrie *yum*

around the house... it smells delightful, thanks to new Glade automatic 'clean linen' air fresheners

one of my favorite things... the 30x zoom on my new Fuji camera

i'm creating... a new blog header, this week's DigiDare, and a page for the ADSR6 challenge 3

a few plans for the week... gathering fallen tree limbs, pruning lilac bushes, tidying flowerbeds

from my lens:

view of the hill at dawn, from my desk window

and @ 30x zoom *wow*
