~ Do stop by Peggy's for all the Daybook links this week. ~

Outside My Window ... the sky is slowly clearing after a gray, cool start; everything is damp after yesterday's storms. A mourning dove is resting on the gatepost, dignified and serene - beside him, a dozen baby sparrows are lined up, squabling for their breakfast. A vee of geese just passed, honking, overhead.
***
I am thinking ... about the August calendar - and how quickly it's filling in!
***
I am thankful ... for the kind of friends who love you, quirks and all. :)
***
From the kitchen ... there are banana breads baking in the oven right now, and the house smells amazingly good. (Bill and Earlybird made them *early* this morning.)
***
I am wearing ... denim shorts, Red Sox shirt, keds.
***
I am creating ... a week-by-week "playbook" for the new year. I'm having a hard time deciding on the format - binder or notebook? And will it be exclusively academic, or will it address household activities, too?
***
I am going ... no where in particular. My friend Beth is taking our oldest boys to a computer class each day this week, while I watch the younger kids at home.
***
I am reading ... (re-reading, actually) the whole Twilight series, in preparation for the release of the final installment, Breaking Dawn, on August 2nd.
***
I am hoping ... to spend some time on holiday planning this weekend.
***
I am hearing ... baby birds chirping, a car driving down our street, the hum of my laptop.
***
Around the house ... the lawn needs to be mowed and the carpets need to be shampooed. (Both of those chores are Bill's department.) Lots of laundry to fold, and a refrigerator to clean out.
***
One of my favorite things ... the craft store at this time of year - all the fall goodies and Christmas stuff, too. I know this annoys most people to no end, but - planner I am - I love it all. :)
***
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: ... Bookworm's computer class, a VBS meeting, a trip to Whole Foods, a birthday pool party.
***
Here is a picture thought I am sharing ...
and another:
~How cute is this little guy?.~

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
