Simple Woman's Daybook, Dec. 7

Outside my window... gray clouds. We had about a 1/2 inch of snow this morning, then the sun came out and melted most of it. Now we're supposed to have our first winter storm of the season tomorrow through Thursday!

I am thinking... about trying to write some new poems.

I am thankful for... homeschooling friends who live very close by so that I'll be able to get out of the house and see people even in the middle of winter when the snow is piling up

I am wearing... gray fleece pants, black sweatshirt, my new slipper-boots

I am remembering... my first winter homeschooling, when there was so much snow I thought I'd go stir crazy stuck in the house with the kids all the time!

I am going... to take Matthew to preschool tomorrow morning. Not going anywhere today.

I am currently reading... "Saint Maybe," by Anne Tyler. Just finished "Real Food," by Nina Planck

I am hoping... to find out whether or not I'll be moving away from here soon.

On my mind... Christmas!!!

Noticing that... now that Matthew is 3 1/2 Lucy and he play together a lot more. Which means I have more time to myself. Wonderful!

Pondering these words... "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ..."

From the kitchen... leftovers. But this weekend I made up a new recipe, Fortune Cookie Encrusted Salmon with Hoisin Sauce. It was fabulous!

Around the house... I cleaned today, so things are looking good. I need to vacuum upstairs, though.

One of my favorite things~ listening to Christmas music by the fire while reading a book.
