The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

FOR TODAY, May 28th, 2019 

Outside my window ...
Its dry at the moment, but it looks like it won't be for long.  Cold too.

I am thinking ...
I can't believe there are only a couple more days in May and we will be into the month of June.  The year is slip, slip, slipping away  . . . .

I am thankful for ...
A sister I can talk to.

One of my favourite things ...  

 

Oriental rice crackers  . . .  so crunchy   . . .  so good.

In the kitchen ... 

 

Creamy Tomato & Basil Soup.  Served with homemade garlic & herb foccacia crisps.  Great for a rainy day.  

On my "To Cook" list ... 

 

Lardy Cake from the Happy Foodie.  

Good to know ...

I am reading ... 

 

The Dashwood Sisters Tell All, by Beth Pattillo 

 Ellen and Mimi Dodge have never been close, but their mothers dying wish sends them on a walking tour of Hampshire, England, that follows in the footsteps of Jane Austen.

Their mother also left them something else: a diary that belonged to Janes sister Cassandra. These pages shed light on the secrets that nearly tore the Austen sisters apart and inspired one of the greatest love stories of all time. They also bring Jane to life in a way that no one has ever seen before: through the eyes of her sister.

As the Dodge sisters embark on their walking tour, they too are drawn together in ways they never expected. They also discover that Cassandras diary holds secrets, and someone doesnt want Ellen and Mimi to discover the truth. As they stumble on their way toward love, the women learn how Jane and Cassandra Austen inspired the original Marianne and Elinor Dashwood and come to realize that despite their very different personalities, they are a vital part of each others happy endings.

I have only just started this. 

I am looking forward to ... 
 Summer . . .  warm, sunny, dry summer.

 Dreaming about ... 

 

Fluffy butts  . . . 

  

Fresh garden vegetables  . . . .

 

Cafe curtains  . . . 

  

Lace petticoats . . . 

 

Strawberry Season  . . .  its on its way  . . . 

Makes me smile ... 

  

So inquisitive  . . . 

Something to watch ... 

 

North & South on Netflix. I love good period dramas . . . 

A thought to carry with you  ...
