The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside My Window... It's -16C and dark.

I am thinking... about ordering some books from amazon.ca but I'm having a difficult time making up my mind. Do I really need Storey's Guide to Keeping Honey Bees?

I am thankful for... socks, I would be even more thankful for slippers! My toes are so cold these days...

From the kitchen... I'm reading some new recipe books and getting inspired for next week. Hopefully there will be some lard rendering making in the near future.

I am wearing... jeans and 3/4 sleeve taupe cotton shirt.

I am creating... plans for Advent.

I am going... to have a very busy weekend but it should be fun.

I am reading... A Tailor-Made Bride and Forgotten Skills of Cooking.

I am hoping... to figure out this tatting thing. My friend showed me the basic knots last week.

I am hearing... the VeggiesTales Bellybutton song on YouTube as per Monkey's request.

Around the house... Now that things are snowy outside I'm being forced to get some organizing done inside the house. I recently tackled the spice cupboard. I feel so happy when I open it now because I know nothing will fall on my head when I do!

One of my favorite things... oatmeal in morning.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: fixing up things around the house, right Hubby?
