For Today...


Outside my window ... wind hurling rain against the house, trees tossing madly

I am thinking ... too much

I am thankful for ... hot tea, warm house, good conversations, life's possibilities

I am learning ... life's adventures never end

In the kitchen ... spinach stuffed eye of round roast, quinoa, roasted broccoli, carrot sunflower salad, baked apples with crème anglaise (company for dinner)

I am wearing ... black cords, eggplant top, cream cardigan

I am going ... to town to drop off boxes at the thrift store and buy a few groceries - when the rain stops

I am reading ... Western Europe in the Middle Ages

I am hoping ... in the character of God, for dreams to be fulfilled

I am hearing ... wind outside, and the hum of my electric heater beside me inside, along with the clack of the keyboard

One of my favorite things ... the pot of hyacinths that remind me that spring is coming soon

  1. I am truly identifying with numbers one and three. Have a lovely evening with friends and share, talk, walk it through. I find that it really, really helps me. Oh, you've reminded me to add something to my shopping list...tulips, daffodils, something!

  3. Very nice visuals you gave us of the weather, home and comfort. The one of tonights' meal was too good. I now want a place at the table.

  11. West Coast stormy weather provides opportunities for all kinds of things to happen in a day. Maybe it's not the peace and quiet you need for tackling your history course though...Hope the rain lets up soon.

  15. Lorrie,
    Is that a fabric flower pin on your new heading. It looks so attractive. Is it something you made Lorrie? Thankyou for sharing a West Coast day.
