Simple Woman's Daybook for September 1, 2018

For Today

I am writing a post for Peggy's Simple Woman's Daybook
for the first time in a long while.

Looking out my window

Our salad tomato plant by our
shed in the back yard

I am thinking
About my plans for the autumn months that
are coming up soon. I can't wait for everything
Pumpkin Spice flavored to start showing up on the
store shelves!!! Some items are already available in our
local grocery store!!! MMMmmm!!!

I am thankful
For so very many blessings!!! In spite of the very negative
and "pouty" tone of my last, recent post; I am very grateful to
God above for our sweet home, family, friends and so very much
more!!! Today I am especially grateful for the sun and the rain that
we have received today, and for the ability and the desire to type this
little post on my blog.

One of my favorite things
I have so many favorite things; but today I shall say
that books of poetry rate very high on my list. I love reading
pretty poetry; and especially inspirational verses! 

I am creating
I am currently working with a friend as we create her
Bohemian living room! Lovely bright colors and
varied patterns and textures all inspired by a beautiful
little box she has had for some time now. 

I am wearing
I have on my blue jeans and a pretty paisley printed tee-shirt
in shades of blue, aqua, yellow and black.

I am listening to

Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits

I am hoping
To finish this blog post before my hubby is ready to
go to the grocery store. I am going with him this time. 

I am learning
To let go of the pain of this horrible Fibromyalgia;
to get used to it and to own it. It isn't easy and I still
hurt~BAD! But, I am tired of being a slave to it. I am
learning to push past it and get out and about, anyway.
I am much to young to feel this old~lol! (ouch)

In my kitchen

We have been eating a lot more sandwiches, easy to fix
meals and salads this summer.

In the school room
My one and only pupil graduated on June 3, 2017!!!! 

In my garden

This year we only planted two full sized tomato plants,
one salad tomato plant and three bell pepper plants. They are
all producing very nicely for us.
