for today

for today...

outside my window... 69F & sunny

i am thinking... after slipping off the bottom step while carrying a door and spraining my ankle in June;

then lifting a cast iron enamel pot with one hand, which prohibited me from using it, in August, especially my mouse @ the PC; it took most of the summer to recover and catch up around here; but hopefully, everything seems to be healing *whew* it does feel good to be getting back to a normal routine

i am thankful for... butternut squash

i am wearing... blue jeans, white thermal shirt & my hiking boots

i am going... for my annual mammogram tomorrow in Wellsboro, PA

i am currently reading... Adobe Create Magazine

i am hoping... to get some autumn & halloween freebies posted soon

on my mind... gas @ $2.79/gallon, milk @ $2.15/gallon, sugar @ $1.88/4 lb

pondering these words... "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables ~

from the kitchen... German potato salad & bratwursts

around the house... chinese lanterns

one of my favorite things...  pumpkins, of every shape & color & size

i'm creating... the October challenges @ The Lilypad

a few plans for the week... yard work, replace storm doors & windows

from my lens:

* deer in Brookfield Township, PA *

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.
