***

Outside My Window ... a pair of Baltimore orioles, the first of the year!

***

I am thinking ... about a dinner menu for next week and marketing list for Saturday.

***

I am thankful for ... three healthy, happy boys.

***

From the kitchen ... there will be (fingers-crossed) pumpkin breads in the oven later today.

***

I am wearing ... my pale green floral pajamas (it's still early!).

***

I am creating ... pressed flowers and leaves for the field journal.

***

I am going ... to catch up on my emails this week. Promise.

***

I am reading ... the Twilight series (for myself), The Battle of the Labyrinth with Bookworm (we read separately but compare notes), and The Nixie's Song with Crackerack. I'm also listening to Tom Sawyer as Bookworm reads aloud to us all in the afternoons.

***

I am hoping ... my cat's echocardiogram tomorrow shows improvement.

***

I am hearing ... the dishwasher running, my cat purring, neighbors driving off to work.

***

Around the house ... today is Tuesday, so I will clean the upstairs bathroom and the living room, including the china cabinet if there is time (and energy).

***

One of my favorite things ... variegated yarn. I could buy every blend I see.

***

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: knitting circle, nature club, ladies' tea at church ...

***

Here is a picture thought I am sharing ...

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
