A Patchwork of Days - Daybook

FOR TODAY
Outside my window,
Grey and overcast - Yes, another autumn morning without a frost and another day for my tomatoes and peppers, and zucchinis to ripen.

I am listening to...

Silence, it won't last for long but there is quiet in the rush of chores and hubby getting ready to leave for work.

I am thankful for...
Fresh eggs and veges from the garden.

From the learning rooms...
Slowly settling, every-time I think that we are there it seems to fall apart, but slowly my middle son is learning how to work, and there are less distraction in our day. We seem to have build up a habit that every-time their was sibling rivalry the day feel apart to it. With three string willed kids, to leader wannabes and a relatively high level of emotional empathy that can be very good or very destructive. Slowly we are working thorugh it and building a firm foundation.

From the kitchen...
Corn and Zucchini fritters, pasta with tomatoes and zucchinis and onions, roast chicken with home grown potatoes, parsnips and leeks. I've been enjoying having the garden dictate my choices.

I am wearing...
A Denim skirt and soft floral top, its still warm enough for summer clothes but not for much longer.

I am reading...

Till we have faces, I really didn't know what to expect, but I have really enjoyed what this book has taught us as a family.

An encouraging word
Yesterday my husband was speaking of how our curriculum choices and the e-groups I'd joined had become a source of Christian input both for me the kids and for him. It made my day to be encouraged in this way.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Keeping up to date and enjoying school, we have bible week this week, which means less reading for mum, phew, I'm exhausted as we head to the holidays.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...



In the tradition of the Simple Womans Daybook
