The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, February 22nd, 2022

Outside my window ...

It is clear and sunny. A bit chilly at -3, but things will warm up as the day progresses. It is expected to be 8 by tonight.

I am thinking ...

I need to get harder with myself and get back on schedule. I am getting really slack and as a result it is getting more difficult to fit in all that I have to fit into my days. Lately I've been going back to bed after I get up and feed the cats, telling myself that there is nothing I have to get up for, but really I need to be more disciplined.

I am thankful for ...

The Come Follow Me Program via my church.  It is helping me to dig deeper into the scriptures and I am especially grateful for David Butler and Emily Freeman and Don't Miss This. Their insights are amazing.  I am learning so much from them.

In the kitchen ... 

Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes.  These turned out fabulous!  A new favorite! 

On my "to Cook" list ... 

A Family Feast. Ham and Vegetable Soup. Looks fabulous! 

Good to know ... 

I am wanting to create ...

Thrifty and Chic   DIY Corner Cabinet for Dining Room.   I love, love this.

Dadas Place. Crochet English Garden Baby Blanket. 

Now this is very pretty.  Japanese symbols crochet squares. Click here. 

No source, but so cute.

Your Crochet. Cute. Cute. Cute. 

I am reading ... 

The Art of Mending, Elizabeth Berg

Laura Bartone anticipates her annual family reunion in Minnesota with a mixture of excitement and wariness. Yet this year’s gathering will prove to be much more trying than either she or her siblings imagined. As soon as she arrives, Laura realizes that something is not right with her sister. Forever wrapped up in events of long ago, Caroline is the family’s restless black sheep. When Caroline confronts Laura and their brother, Steve, with devastating allegations about their mother, the three have a difficult time reconciling their varying experiences in the same house. But a sudden misfortune will lead them all to face the past, their own culpability, and their common need for love and forgiveness.

This is one of Elizabeth Berg's books that I hadn't already read. So far so good! I love her books.
