     For Today: June 1
Outside my window....is lots of sunshine.
I am thinking...how I could use my time more wisely in my day. 
I am thankful for...my brand spanking new front load washer.
From the learning rooms...we are plugging along.

From the kitchen...I am planning our weeks menu:

• Fajitas
• Salsbury Steak, asparagus and cauliflower
• Meatballs over rice
• Grilled Steak, fresh salad
• Chili, Corn Bread
• Asparagus and Leak Soup, tomatoe bread
• Grilled Steak, grilled veggies, potatoe salad 
  I am creating...a list of goals for the month of June.
  I am going...went to work this morning, staying in the rest of the day.
  I am reading..."Mountain Born" with Violet, book of Romans.
  I am hoping...for a productive week.
  I am hearing...Violet rolling back and forth on a stool across the basement floor.
  Around the house...I'm just trying to keep up with the dishes today, maybe get a load of laundry done.

In the yard...we transplanted and divided a batch of hosta's. We had a new septic tank put in 2 years ago with 3 big concreate lids in the middle of our yard. I'm trying to camoflauge them.
One of my favorite things...going to yardsales, I'm finding lots of good things, but only buying a few things.
A few plans for the rest of the week: I plan on us doing school, work in the yard , doing house work and some making more bread and granola.

• Tuseday: going to bank, library, pick up some paint from a friend
• Wednesday: work, pick up produce share,
• Thursday: work, have coffee with friend
• Friday: work, stop at 3 yardsales on the way home
