Simple Woman's Daybook

 Simple woman daybook June edition

 

 

Looking out my window:

It's a beautiful sunny morning.  The birds and squirrels are feasting on all of the mulberries that have fallen from the tree.   We have so many berries that it smells like a bottle of bad wine out there.

 

If you look closely you will see 2 of our little squirrel buddies.

 

 

I am thinking:

I am thinking about Stanley ( the black lab).   Little guy is just a year in a half old and he is having difficulties moving around.  Something is going on with his hind legs or hips.  He has an appointment with his veterinarian this evening.  Fingers crossed that it's nothing to serious.

 

 

 

I am thankful:

I am thankful for being married to this guy...

 

 

Last week we celebrated our 28th anniversary.

There have been many ups and downs but through it all we kept our integrity intact and created a life that so many people wish for.   The photos are from our first day and our 25th year.

One of my favorite things:

Hydrangea's.   Maybe it's all of the rain we've had..

My hydrangea bushes are full of beautiful blooms.

 

 

I am creating:

I made this for my friend last year ~ She and her brother own the local nursery and snowball stand.

(Both of my daughter's first summer job was at that stand)

  After a year of being abused by little fingers it needed some touching up.

I added some new bunting, new lights and reattached all of the loose pieces. 

 

 

I am wearing:

Well...    If you really want to know.

It's early.  I'm wearing my new Jurassic park dinosaur paw print pajama pants,  and black tank top~  since the matching Jurassic park top got wet and stinky while I was trying to bath dogs last night.

 

 

Stinky Sharky was the one who needed a scrub.

The little one was just helping out aka making a mess.

 

 

 

I am reading:

I'm finally getting around to finishing this book!!!

 

 

 

 watching  / listening to:

The morning news program. 

 

 

I am hoping:

I am hoping for a sunny uneventful weekend.  It's been very quiet on my street.  The LOUD neighbor ( renters) that I disliked moved out,  and the other loud neighbor is on vacation.  It's been very peaceful.  You have to live in Baltimore city to understand.

 

I am learning:

To stop stressing about the future.  What will be will be.

In my kitchen:

Ohhhh,  I am excited about this one.

These are just a few of the ingredients that are waiting to go into the Hawaiian Trifle.

It also calls for whipped cream, and coconut pudding -  which I attacked with a spoon last night. 

opps.

I'm crazy about coconut!!

 

 

Once I finish this post I am heading to the thrift store to buy a tall clear glass bowl to prepare it in.

If it's awesome..  I will share the exact recipe.

 

In my garden;

This year we planted 3 varieties of tomatoes in the vegetable garden.

Heirloom, plum and cherry.

We also have a few pepper plants and some Sweet potatoes.

Never tried to grow potatoes before,  I'm curious on how they will do in out little garden.

 

Board room:

Something about this recipe sounds really good to me.

Hopefully I did it correctly and the link is accessible by clicking the photo.

 

 

Shared Quote:

 

This is something that I have recited to myself for many years.

I do believe in Karma.. and that we create our own.
