The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ November 4th

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

***

Outside My Window ... it's a beautful morning: weak sunlight filters through a pearly fog, and it's surprisingly warm for November.

***

I am thinking ... about the election, of course!!

***

I am thankful ... for my hard-working husband.

***

From the kitchen ... tonight for supper we'll have leftover grilled steak and vegetables, tossed with bow-tie pasta and sprinkled with parmesan cheese ... and "Election Night" cake for dessert (which will be basically a spice bundt cake with maple drizzle).

***

I am wearing ... a blue turtleneck sweater and blue jeans.

***

I am creating ... our Christmas cards on Shutterfly.

***

I am reading ... My mum loaned me a mystery but I have yet to get started on it. Right now I'm working through my "slush" pile which consists of sections of the Sunday paper and a few new magazines.

***

I am hoping ... (naturally) that my candidate wins. ;)

***

I am hearing ... the heat just turned on, the shower is running, the boys are making all kinds of noise downstairs in the playroom.

***

Around the house ... Tuesday housekeeping: clean the upstairs bathroom, continue laundries, put out fresh towels and bath mats, neaten the living room.

***

One of my favorite things ... the subtle beauty of the November landscape: muted shades, frosty lawns, burnished foliage, misty skies, milky sun.

***

A few plans for this week ... MIT class, EB's therapies, Book Group, Kindertheme: Stars and Light

***

Here is a picture thought I am sharing ...

My craft shelf.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
