Simple Woman's Daybook

                                                  A Simple Woman's Daybook.

•  Outside my window… It is 58°F with a slight breeze and a very sunny sky after a night of rain. Not enough rain but, rain nonetheless.
• I am thinking… That I am a bit sleepy.  It is 6:31PM edt  and I am yawning and having a hard time keeping my eyes open.
• I am thankful…  Landscapers are coming Sunday to clean up the yard.  I still have that huge tree that fell 8 or so years ago.  Wisteria and weeds are out of control and my lawn is a mess. 
• In the kitchen… My tummy is growling and I am not sure what to make.Maybe just a little bowl of Cheerios

• I am wearing… I have on black sweat pants, a black tee shirt with the cockle shell of Santiago de Compostella on it and a navy blue cardigan.
• I am creating… I have been trying to make things more organized and accessible in the house.
• I am going… No where.
• I am reading… I read everyday in my continuing education.
• I am hoping…For an end to the insanity in the nation and the world.
• I am looking forward to…Friday with the Famous Anonymous and hope I will be up to it.
• Around the house… I bought a new William Morris fox print 10 ft runner for the laundry room and  a matching one for the hallway. 
• 
  A favorite quote for today…  Comes from President James Madison

 "A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty." 

May

  Welcome friends!

This weeks Tuesday 4 in memory of our friend Toni Taddeo is from Mary who blogs at Visits With Mary. and it's all about the month of May.   Thanks Mary, these questions are great.

 Hello May

1. May’s First Glimpse — What is the very first thing you notice or feel when May arrives each year?

Flowers and trees are beginning to bloom. The air gets warmer.  This year is very much colder though and I don't hear birds or bees. Nights are downright cold.  

2. Simple May Joys — What small pleasures do you look forward to in May — flowers, breezes, routines, or traditions?  The warm breezes are lovely in May and I love the blossoming Wisteria, Lilacs , purple Vinca and my lovely Mountain Pinks.

3. May Memories — Do you have a favorite May memory from childhood, family life, or recent years?

My favorite May memories are from elementary school when we would learn songs about April, May and June and do little projects to decorate our classrooms.

I knew of a teenage girl named May who was a nasty bully so, the name always reminds me of a big tall overweight bully.   

4. May Intentions — What gentle goals or hopes do you carry into this new month?    To live in peace with a gentle heart .  To get the yard in order.
