June 3, 2009...

 Outside my window...
It is another beautiful day and it is supposed to be this way all week.  We were up in the mid-70's.  (Maybe that is why I'm two days late.)  It may even make it up to the 80's and break record temps this week.  So I will keep this short and to the point, I need to get outside.

I am thinking...
This has been an amazing summer!  Everyone says so, and wonder how long this sunny weather will last.  May is the driest month, so it could end at anytime.  Gotta enjoy the sun while it shines.

I am thankful for...
home!  I've been enjoying working on my plants and little things around the house with plans for the future.  We have always known that we would not be in a house for long, and now that is not certain.  I know Rachel really wants to stay here.  She still wanted to go back to Palmer until the summer.  This beautiful summer weather has totally won her over.

 From the learning rooms...
We are on school break.  We finished up animal science last week.

 From the kitchen...
Vegetable soup unless I pick up something quick when I go the grocery store.  That is sounding really tempting. 

I am wearing...
PJ's

I am going...
Grocery shopping and them who know!

I am creating...
flower beds and vegetable garden.  There are all doing well.  I'm just working trying to figure out what is eating the lettuce leaves.  Sounds like from the advice I got from a local greenhouse it is slugs, but I do know I have spider mites.  So I'm following so advice for those and aphids as well.  We will have to see how well it works.

I am reading...
Again not reading a lot these days, but I am still working on The Real George Washington and The Cross Triumphant.


 I am hoping...
Our new chore charts helps with the arguing about who does what. 
 

I am hearing...

the sounds of the boys talking and a toy from McDonalds.

 One of my favorite things...
is on sunny days I can see all the mountians!  It is so pretty out my Living Room window.  I can see the blue of the glacier and mountians all around.  Some close with trees almost all the way up and  very little snow left near the top.  They are so green.  Others that where the trees stop about halfway up the mountain and lots of snow and jagged greyish blue rocks.  I love all the contrast.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
I'm heading to Costco, the Bike store, and another grocery store (Fred's or Supper Bear.)  I have some more errands, but I may wait for another day.  I'll be working on the chore charts this week and trying to get habits in place.  We plan to go out the hike near the airport tomorrow.  Chris will be taking a float plane with work and we want to see if we can see him take off.

I’ve added a Mr. Linky at Grandmother Wren’s to make it easier for the Summer Daybook ladies to find and visit one another while Peggy is on vacation.

Please stop by on Mondays to add your link - I'd love to see your Daybook posts there!
