Simple Woman's Daybook for July

For Today



Looking out my window


Today is cool  at 73F and a bit cloudy. My window is cloudy itself and must be replaced.

This is what I see outside that window as well as woods.  In the woods is a huge pond and island, small sandy bottomed cedar streams that enterthe bay. They are crystal clear.     The bay is to my left out that window,  and I can easily walk to it.  The big creek is to the right.   It feeds the bay.

I am thinking

About the state of the nation. I have seen this coming for quite a while: a division straight down the middle between good and evil.

 

I am thankful

To recall what King Solomon said, that what was is and what is was and that nothing is new under the sun. Nations rise and fall. It is nothing new.


One of my favorite things 


 My big pond with reflections of Wisteria on the surface and sunlight illuminating the sandy bottom, where clams live.   You can see some of my fish there too. How deceptively shallow it looks but it is 4 feet deep there.




I am creating

 I am creating a clean home today.

I am wearing

Short  navy pants and a  light gray tee shirt with my town name and an anchor on it since we are a bayside town.


I am listening to

Documentary on YouTube

I am hoping:

To do things this summer  and get out more but it looks like I will be staying home all the time because of back issues yet again. Not up for trips or long walks.

In my kitchen

I have begun to eat mostly vegetables for summer. I hope to improve my health,.

In my garden:



Things are growing like wild fire. This little guy never notices his pants are falling off!


Shared Quote:





A moment from my day:

 
 a wee coffee in a favorite cup. No, really I just drink Coffee Mate powdered creamer with a splash of coffee in it! 



Closing Notes

 History, as you've learned it, is a scam and a cover up of  truth.
Keep your mind open, always be skeptical, question everything and everyone. Have no heroes except God and you will be on the right road every time.

  1. How nice to be able to sit around the pond and watch the fish in silence and peace. Wonderful! I'll have you in prayer that your back issues disappear dear Annie. Bishop Sheen's quote is never outdated and is right on in today's world. How I miss his shows. Love all the plants by the window and that little guy made me laugh. Just got back home from spending the day with Phyllis. Have a day of blessings my friend.

  2. Giggling over the creamer/coffee statement--it seems we share the same issue, LOLOL. I just love all those plants, I bet they like the window just the way it is, so leave it, smiles. Keeping you in prayer, as always, smiles.

  3. I love your violets. They look like mine. I hope I will have a proper window for them in the new house. The house faces east, so the kitchen windows on the front of the house should be okay...I just need to create a good shelf for them as the window sills are not that wide. I love your pond reflection, and your garden pics. I am sorry you are suffering with your back so much again. Praying for you to feel better soon. I like was Fulton Sheen said, it is so true. I try to speak with conviction about what I believe, but those who disagree are so loud and hateful it is hardly worth trying...so I see why it happens the way he stated. We just get tired of the arguing. Life is too short to constantly be arguing over history and other things, but if we don't stand up to the bullies they just keep trampling us under. Yes, our country is in a sad state. Praying hard. Well, I've got to get to bed. Busy days ahead with this move. Just wanted to say hi, and let you know I'm still here!

  4. Your violets are so pretty and I love your pond, what a nice thing to have and enjoy. Our world and our country are in such turmoil, but God is coming to redeem us. Whether I'm alive or in the grave I know He's coming for me.
