From The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY...September 29th from Casandra's Daybook Journal

Outside my open window...blue sky, blustery winds...Jacob said that the trees were "hyper!"

I am thinking...I need to figure out WHY I keep waking up with kinks and cricks in my neck and shoulders.

I am thankful for...my stay at home job.

I am wearing...my black sweater (first time this year!), a burgundy tanktop and my favorite white lounge/ pj pants with burgundy hearts on them. :)

I am remembering...To thaw out dinner.

I am going...to take Jakey on a hayride at the pumpkin patch this Saturday!

I am reading...I FINALLY finished A Flickering Light by Jane Kirkpatrick last night. :) The story of her grandmother's life as a photographer in the early 1900's.

I am trusting...That God will direct my steps....a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

On my mind...I.R.S.

From the learning rooms...Preschool with Jakey- we're learning about Mexico. I'm also planning our KAH class for Friday. We're learning calligraphy and about "Abiding In the Vine".

Noticing that...my daughters are maturing faster than mommy's ready for them to.

Pondering these words..."

Photographs that make one take in a breath while being drawn into the image. It is what I want in my life too, those moments of sharp breathing, perfect clarity, fully drawn in." from the book A Flickering Light.

From the kitchen...On the menu tonight: baked chicken breast and rice casserole, yeast rolls and salad.

Around the house...aerating the yard and planting new grass seed

One of my favorite things~taking pictures that freeze a moment- or lead us to the next.
