The Simple Woman's Daybook

 

 

FOR TODAY, June 8th, 2021

Outside my window ... 

 

The sun is up and it looks to be a fairly decent day in the offing. There is another heat warning in effect. its 18*C already and its not yet 7 am.

I am thinking ... 

When I was a child this area I am living, this street, was all wooded. There were no houses. The house I lived in with my parents is just a stone's throw away from where I am now. I've come full circle in a way. Its kind of ironic I suppose.

I am thankful for ...

Had just turned out the light last night when my nose started bleeding.  I have had quite a few nosebleeds recently, and it runs like a tap until I shut it down.  I am thankful that I was able to grab some tissues before it got onto my bedding, mattress, etc. I wonder what's up with that?

In the kitchen ... 

Keeping my cool with a delicious Cobb Sandwich, with the usual suspects.  Deli turkey, lettuce, egg, bacon, cheese, tomato, blue cheese dressing, all on a rustic toasted sourdough bread. 

On my "to Cook" list ... 

 

Steele House Kitchen. Potato, Proscuitto and Arugula Pizza with a Dijon Vinaigrette.  This looks darned delicious! 

One of my favourite things ... 

 

My glass window birds. I bought them one at a time over a number of a years from Simon Alderson on Etsy.  I tried to link up but the net is working very strangely for me this morning. I keep getting a connection failure message.  This doesn't bode well.

I am wanting to create ... 

 

The Craft Patch Blog.  Sewing "paper dolls." Cute! 

 

Mother Rhythm.  Cute Mouse tutorial. 

 

Lesley on Flickr.  Inspo only. 

 

Remodel-aholic.  Sewn Back Tab Curtains.

 

Note Songs.  Chick Chick Pot Holder. 

I am reading ... 

 

Ruth, a novel, by H. B. Moore

Master storyteller and best-selling author H. B. Moore brings to life the biblical account of Ruth as never before in this vivid retelling of her courageous and faithful life. 

 Following the death of Ruth's husband, she finds herself at a crossroads. Rather than return to her family and hometown, the young widow makes a remarkable decision: she will remain with her mother-in-law, Naomi, as her caretaker and companion. 

 Together, the two widows boldly leave behind the lives they knew in the land of Moab and make their way to Bethlehem, arriving downtrodden and destitute. Though Ruth works day and night to provide for Naomi, it is ultimately through the kindness and generosity of Boaz that the two women find respite from their trials. As Ruth comes to know Boaz, she finds that her broken heart is beginning to heal in ways she could never have imagined. But when a question of inheritance threatens any hope of a life with Boaz, Ruth may have to give up the last piece of her heart in order to secure her future. 

Ruth has always been one of my favorite women in the bible. I am loving this book so far.  The author brings the characters to life beautifully.  

Yes,  I am taking a long time to read. I need to read during the day not just when I get into bed. I always fall asleep.

I am looking forward to ...

I have a new project in the off-ing that I am looking forward to beginning, but mum's the word for now.
