FOR TODAY May 29, 2012

Outside my window... blue sky, lush green leaves on the trees, construction barrels, a new concrete street and dirt blowing in the breeze.

I am thinking... that it takes less faith to believe God exists than to believe he doesn't.

I am thankful... for aloe vera as I acquired an unexpected sunburn yesterday.  Guess being outside in the sun without sunscreen can cause burned skin. :(  (Why wasn't I more responsible?!)

In the kitchen... cut lilacs in a vase making the kitchen smell like spring.

I am wearing... gray t-shirt and gray shorts, no jewelry and bare feet.

I am creating... oh this prompt is always tripping me up these days.  I have been creating a mental list of summer craft projects and a literal list of books to read this summer.

I am going... to bring the older boys in for a haircut today.  Poor Logan can't see through all the hair in his eyes.

I am wondering... what sort of fun items to send to an eleven year old boy in Burkina Faso?

I am reading... The Birth Order Book by Dr. Kevin Leman.  Very fascinating!

I am hoping... to learn a lot about vegetable gardening and to have a bountiful harvest from our garden this first year.

I am looking forward to... getting together with friends this week.

I am learning... to strive for excellence, not perfection.

Around the house... sleeping dog and sleeping children.

I am pondering... how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A favorite quote for today... "What is a weed?  A plant whose virtues have never been discovered. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of my favorite things... a family working together.

A few plans for the rest of the week: boys haircuts, new glasses for Megan, plant our vegetable garden, take a photo a day for the photo challenge and gather with friends.

A peek into my day...

This is what happens to the kids food when dad comes home for lunch.  :)
