Wanna Be a Steader!

The Simple Woman's Daybook #2 ~ Sept. 29th, 2008

 For Today...

Outside my Window...Sunny morning, the trees are JUST starting to wear some red on their tops, leaves are beginning to fall.

I am thinking...I need to run out to our Old Order German Baptist friend's farm and get a couple dozen brown eggs before they're gone.  (FYI...Old Order folks live like Amish.)

From the learning rooms...I'm excited and a little apprehensive b/c Jenna will be starting her Marine Biology textbook today.  I'm more of a mammal person! 

I am thankful for...A great church home.  Even though it's 35 miles away, it is SO worth the distance.

From the kitchen...Flax Seed bread in the oven.  Lunch will include chicken breasts in olive oil, sprikled w/Spike seasoning, my own herb mix and a little rosemary.

I am wearing...old jeans, red and pink checked flannel button-up shirt, bare feet, hair pulled back in front.

I am reading...Bible/Ecc., re-reading Treasury of Vintage Homekeeping Skills by Martha Greene.

I am hoping...That we can accomplish all we have on our schedule before Jenna's homeschool volleyball game, tonight.

I am creating...I think this is soap day.  I'm nearly out of homemade soap and new soap has to "ripen" for 2 weeks before it can be used.  I'd better get on the ball!

I am hearing...the radio and the clothes dryer.

Around the house...I'm getting so anxious to start painting our living room (light sage) and downstairs bathroom (dark sage and tan).  I'm also considering tearing off the paper and painting the kitchen (cottage or barn red).

One of my favorite things...the VERY golden sunsets of fall and the changing colors.  My favorite time of year.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...homeschool, 3 volleyball games for Jenna's team, I have a class at the seminary I attend on Thursday night, Friday is a memorial benefit to help out my friend's family because of the tragic loss of her husband in July.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

I LOVE this picture of my dear Daddy c. 1932/33 when he was a little boy on their family farm. 

Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<><
