~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
this morning
from my front porch . . .
“red sky in the morning, sailors take warning . . .”
i am remembering . . .
the simple days of childhood, my grandmother, their farm,
i am thankful . . .
warm home, food on the table, gas in the car, and choices
from the kitchen . . .
applesauce finished and apple butter/mulled cider jelly on the way, and maybe preserved burschetta
i am reading . . .
Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving
i am hoping . . .
deep fall cleaning of the kitchen, strip wallpaper in extra bedroom, listing a few things on ebay, research for a book review
I am thinking . . .
the words: “I surrender all” and wondering if I do (which I know I don’t) and facing why I hang onto what I should be surrendering (guess I will dealing with sin)
around the house . . .
stacks of books from the homeschool cupboard (rearranged furniture), continue to dispose of things (declutter) that are no longer useful or loved
one of my favorite things . . .
an ordered home
a few plans for the rest of the week . . .
neighbor ministry (watching 3 month infant), thanksgiving menu planned, decluttering basement, Christmas gift ideas
a quote . . .
“Resolution One: I will live for God; Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.”
— Jonathon Edwards
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you . . .
The reflection of fall colored trees in the pond behind our house.
Isn’t it breathtaking?
Just who do you think gave Monet that technique?

I love the picture of your reflecting leaves in your pond —–and definitely your comment on where Monet got his ideas :oD HA!
