FOR TODAY June 9, 2009...

Outside my window... It is overcast but perfect temperature wise--for me, but not for the strawberries!

I am thinking... I am trying NOT to think about all that has to be done in the next month!!! 

I am thankful for... my shoulder feeling better (it's been out of place and causing some pain this past week!)

From the kitchen... Taco Salad

I am wearing... a pink blouse with a faded purple plaid jumper.

I am creating... Got my flowers....now to decide what goes where!  (Picture next week, maybe?)

I am going... already went strawberry picking, but will have to wait until next week as they are later than usual!

I am reading... Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas.

I am hoping...  to be able to keep my inward peace in the midst of craziness!

I am praying for... our church, for friends and their challenges, for my family.

I am hearing... Leah and Susannah discussing how many buttons to put on a nightgown, birds chirping.

Around the house... Some are out playing in the "town" in our barn, one little guy is laying down for a nap, three are sewing.

One of my favorite things... red, ripe, juicy strawberries!!! 

A few plans for the rest of the week:  More running for fair stuff, three graduation open houses this weekend and a blogger get-together!

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Well, here are "before" pictures of the weed beds! 

(Don't let the daisies distract you!  )

Yes, the tall weed in the middle is a thistle!

Here is the weeded section!!!

Here are some of the weeds!! (There was a whole wheelbarrow load full!)

Waiting to be planted.....

Stay tuned next week for the "after the planting" pictures!!! 

Blessings on your day!
