The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

  

FOR TODAY, July 27th, 2021 

Outside my window ...

Its pretty foggy this morning. Mom always said a bit of fog in the morning meant we were in for a fine day.  Not sure about that today, but we will see! 

I am thinking ...

Is it too soon to life all the Covid restrictions?  I think so.  Am I alone in this? I just think if we open everything up too soon in our rush to get back to "normal," we are taking a huge risk. I would rather be safe than sorry.

I am thankful for ...

The windows of Heaven.  I experience them every day in one way or another. 

In the kitchen ... 

 

The Southwest Chicken Melt Sandwich.  Deeeee-licious! A great way to use up leftover chicken. 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

Creme de la Crumb.  Kung Pao Noodles. I love any kind of noodles.

One of my favorite things ... 

 

Having my father stop by for lunch when he's in town. It was a nice surprise! 

I am wanting to create ... 

 

Renata SAJ  Sun Star snowflakes.  

Rebekah Smith.  Simple eye candy, but I love the colours and love working with wool felt. 

 

Wooden Spools Designs. Jingle Bells Ornaments. Not free.

Lisa Pace.  Silent Night. 

 

No source, but isn't it cute?  I lost all of my ornaments.  I had been saving blown glass ones for years.  Oh well, as I keep telling myself whenever I think of something like that, its only stuff. Breaks my heart though  . . . 

I am reading ... 

Fire Along the Sky, by Sara Donati 

A strong, vivid historical novel set against the backdrop of the 1812 war between Britain and America.

Fire Along the Sky is the story of one woman's unforgettable journey across a young nation threatened by the flames of war. 

The year is 1812 and Hannah Bonner has returned to her family's mountain cabin. But Nathaniel and Elizabeth can see that Hannah is not the same woman as when she left. For their daughter has come home without her husband and son, and with a story of loss and tragedy that she can't even bear to tell. 

Yet as Hannah resumes her duties as a gifted healer, she finds that she is slowly healing herself. Little does she realise that she is about to face her greatest challenge ever. Hannah is called away to the war to perform one final act of courage, duty and sacrifice. And in risking everything once more, she may learn to live – and even to love – again. 

Sara Donati’s novel is passionate and compelling. It brilliantly captures the vigorous spirit of its young protagonist, and the setting is one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.

Have only just started this. But I am loving it. 

I am looking forward to ...

Seeing my brother in not too long now. 

Dreaming about ... 

 

Good chocolates  . . . 

 

Fresh picked apples  . . . 

 

Strawberry milk shakes  . . . 

 

Toast and marmalade  . . . 

 

Birthday cake  . . .  

 

Jam filled cookies  . . . 

Something to watch ... 

 

Larry Crowne on Netflix  . . . 

Makes me smile ... 

Corners of my kingdom ... 

 

From the front looking in  . . . 

A thought to carry with you ...
