Happy Wednesday Things ...

I feel like posting a few pleasant pictures this evening ... some happy things from my day. What made you happy today?

 

This was the view through our eastern windows this morning. So soft and wintry. There is nothing quite like a winter sunrise. Bitterly cold and blisteringly early it might be, but it's a moment of grace when the sky's this beautiful to behold.

 

Look at this crazy little squirrel who perched himself outside our window today. Yes, he's giving me the furry eyeball ... he's about to launch himself at our suet feeder.

 

And who am I to say no? He made himself quite comfortable on the suet cage right outside our learning room window. And he never flinched at the faces pressed against the glass. Call me crazy (or maybe it's nutty) but I just never get tired of watching squirrels. 

 

This is my marketing/menu planning notebook and my basket of coupons. I start in on my plans roundabouts Wednesday (my kitchen cleaning day). Obviously the coupons could be much better organized - I basically add them to the basket and then file them into my notebook as I need them ...

 

I adhered a small clear pouch pocket inside the front cover of the notebook. (Forgive me if I've shown you this before - I tend to lose track of things from time to time.) I place the coupons of the week here for easy access. 

 

Inside the notebook I have weeks upon weeks of menu planning and marketing lists. (I've been using this "system" since September and so far it's worked pretty well.) On the lefthand side I sketch out a weekly dinner menu and on the right hand side I write my shopping list (along with errands to run). 

 

I loved the afternoon sunshine streaming in through the south-facing windows today. I was trying to get a good picture of my new "desk" under the window there, but the light was just not cooperating. It's still a pretty picture. (And I'll post more on my desk in a future post.)

So there you have a few happy things from my day. I hope your day had its share of happy things, too!

See you all tomorrow ... I feel a File and Crate post coming on! ;)
