~ May 5th's Simple Woman's Daybook ~

For Today May 5th...



Outside My Window...it is cloudy and slightly windy.   I see my Handsome talking to my MIL.  (probably about gardening)  A couple of my daffodils and a tulip in my flower garden are blooming.   The barn swallows are flying and swooping around.  I love these birds b/c they are so pretty and graceful but also they eat the mosquitoes.

 

I am thinking...of all the plans and things I want  to do with the boys over the spring and summer.  I can't wait for the Kids Camp at church.  It will be a re-inactment of Jerusealum and the time of Jesus.  We wil be learning what it was like to live at that time.  I will be helping with the traditional dancing and making jewelery.  Ohhhh I can't wait.  It won't happen till August and that seems so far away.  It is perfect timing b/c we are still working through Heart of Wisdom's 1 year curriculum.


I am thankful for... God led me to get involved in gardening.  I am now taking the time to watch how plants grow.  I appreciate seeing buds on trees and can't wait till my bulbs bloom.  I am in awe of my Lord's Creation.  I am soooooo blessed. 


From the kitchen...I will be making bread and some chilli for tomorrow.


I am wearing... my old jean skirt and brown top with my favorite green corduroy button up shirt.  These are my gardening clothes.  Mondays are my gardening day with Handsome.  We get a lot done on this day.


I am creating....I am working on my MIL's prayer socks.  I pray for her as I knit them.  They are bright and bold like she is.


I am going... be in the garden today.  I haven't found out what I will be put in charge of .  I will find out soon

 


I am reading...I am starting the Read Your Bible in 90 Days Challenge.  I can't wait to see what God will do with me during this time.


I am hoping...to get some jewlery made for some Sweet Sister's In Christ that I promised and I hope to plant some bulbs of flowers of different colours.  I have lots of yellow right now.


I am hearing...My 4th son get the honey bucket out for our breakfast and my 3 son singing as he is working on a game he is making.


Around the house...is a sinkful of dishes and laundry to be washed, folded, and put away.

 


One of my favorite things...working side by side with my Handsome and sons in the garden.

 


A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week....to  declutter the upstairs.  I also want to  wash the walls and kitchen cupboards.

 


Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Jenn,
I ended up planting potatoes and weeded and furtilized one of my flower beds. I have two to go still.

Because of Jesus, Bobbie

Hi Mary,
I enjoyed getting caught up with you and reading your Day Book. You're not reading the WHOLE Bible in 90 days, are you? That would be a challange. Have a good day. Nice to see you garden!

~Handsome and I~

I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
