for today...

outside my window... 52F/cloudy/slight chance of a shower this PM @ 11:00 am

i am thinking... IM is essential to check in with friends & loved ones

i am thankful for... my friend, Kathy, who has been lovingly sewing face masks;

and I continue to pray for everyone risking their lives to keep us safe & fed during this pandemic

i am wearing... tan jeans, white T, denim shirt, Birkenstocks

i am going... no where, will be @ my desk... it's National Scrapbooking Day/weekend

i am currently reading... 

What It's Like To Be A Bird: David Allen Sibley

i am hoping... for more warm, sunny days

on my mind... gas @ $1.96/gallon, milk @ $1.85/half gallon, butter @ $3.99/lb

pondering these words...

"Now every field is clothed with grass,

and every tree with leaves;

now the woods put forth their blossoms,

and the year assumes its gay attire."

~ Virgil ~

from the kitchen... 

ingredients for a focaccia

fresh strawberries, dessert cups & whipped cream

around the house...  a new hummingbird feeder

one of my favorite things...  it's apple blossom time!

i'm creating... the May Challenges @ The Lilypad

a few plans for the week... laundry, yardwork

from my lens:

so happy to see buds on the lilac bushes,

as they were covered with 3" of snow last week;

and a brief moment of blue skies,

after several days of non-stop rain

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.
