Outside My Window ... golden light is washing over the neighborhood. A crow is ambling down the sidewalk, his mate waiting on the phone lines above. Everything is so green now, but the lilacs are still blooming - I can smell them through the open window.

***

I am thinking ... about a Mothers Tea I'm hosting this summer.

***

I am thankful for ... my own mother, for too many reasons to name.

***

From the kitchen ... apple crisp with a crunchy oat topping.

***

I am wearing ... white t-shirt, green cardigan, light jeans, peds.

***

I am creating ... a cozy work corner for myself.

***

I am going ... to get back to all the people I need to get back to.

***

I am reading ... my new issue of British Country Living.

***

I am hoping ... for good weather this weekend.

***

I am hearing ... birds in the woods, the coffeemaker perking, the fireplace cycling off.

***

Around the house ... The kitchen is cleaned on Wednesdays ~ so the fridge will be cleared out, its shelves wiped down. The sink and counters will be scrubbed with my favorite lemon-herb cleanser. I'll keep the windows open wide as I work, and let in the cool spring air. I'll start a menu and shopping list for next week.

***

One of my favorite things ... watching the sun rise behind the woods (see picture below).

***

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Homeschool Games day, Mitten Strings meeting, Nourishing our Families meeting, Indiana Jones matinee, Memorial Day weekend ...

Here is a picture thought I am sharing ...

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
