FOR TODAY, October 6, 2020
Outside my window...
It is dark and cool. The rain has stopped. Not a creature is stirring not even a mouse. I was up really early this morning. I woke up at 4:45 and could not get back to sleep. I have always been the kind of person, once I am up, I am up.
I am thinking ...
Its hard to believe that we are already into October. This year is flying by. I really hope and pray that there is soon a vaccine for the Covid19 virus. I live in hope. The messages from our General Conference this past weekend were uplifting and inspiring. I had written down four questions I needed answering and all of them were answered. I love it when that happens.
I am thankful for...
Good church leaders. Family. My faith. Good friends. All of you.
In the Kitchen ...
Chicken Noodle Casserole. A great way to use up leftoveres. Low GI. Low Carb. Diabetic friendly. I subbed half the pasta for vegetables, and used whole wheat pasta. It was delicious!
On my "To Cook" list ...
Saving Dessert. Mary Berry's Viennese Whirls. I love the store bought ones, homemade has to be a bazillion times better.
Good to know ...
I am creating ...
Mas and Pas, Pebble hedgehogs.
Heart Filled Spaces. Pumpkins.
Domestically Blissful. Fall acorns.
Aubrey Originals. DIY Fall wreath.
No source. Pumpkin Pie Garland for Thanksgiving. Cute!
I am reading ...
Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell
On
a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to
her bed with a fever. Her twin brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for
help. Why is nobody at home?
Their mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden where she grows
medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London.
Neither
parent knows that one of the children will not survive the week.
Hamnet is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright. It is a
story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink
by grief.
It
is also the story of a kestrel and its mistress; flea that boards a
ship in Alexandria; and a glovemaker's son who flouts convention in
pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender and
unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but
forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays
ever written.
I have only just started this, but it has great reviews.

loved the Scottish countryside.
However, when the residence was deemed too small, the royal couple built an additional castle—the one that still exists today—to fit their growing family. There are approximately 150 buildings on the estate, including Birkhall, formerly home to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and used now by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall for their summer holidays.
