For Today ~ 2 June 2014 ~ A Simple Woman’s Daybook
FOR TODAY … 02 June 2014
Outside My Window… Not a cloud in the sky…it’s going to get hot today! Still have tonka trucks out there moving dirt from one pile to the next.
I am thinking… I’m starving. One little granola bar didn’t cut it for breakfast.
I am thankful for… The left-over bbq’d hotdogs I brought to work for lunch.
From the kitchen… I’m thinking a stir fry tonight…I have some beef and veggies to use, throw in some pan-fried noodles.
I am wearing… Tennis shoes, jeans, bright primary purple cotton shirt.
I am creating… I have a few things going on at the moment.
Jeni Baker’s Nordika using 1.25″ Thangles.
Sawed up 4″ and 2″ pieces of a yard stick to make 3 sewing boxes.
Some pretty fabrics I pulled from my stash.
I am going… to go heat up my lunch. After work, stop by Lowes to pick up some sand paper and some balsa wood.
I am reading… Nothing at the moment.
I am hoping… for a quick and uneventful week.
I am hearing… Battery backups beeping as the power keeps going off and on.
Around the house… Clean dishes that need to be put away.
One of my favorite things… Birdies!
Yellow-headed blackbird, Sparks Marina.
A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week… Work on the wee yardstick sewing boxes.
Here is a few pictures thought I’d share with you… Lots of squirrels at the Sparks Marina where I was parked.

Dirt bath!

Some more favorite things ~
My garden, as most of you all know, I just love. Especially finding veggies growing!
And pumpkin vines! Also Pea vines…actually any vines! I love how they curl and attach themselves.
Sunflowers and their sun worshipping…I love how the plant follows the sun…can’t wait for the flower to bloom and watch it migrate. A trio of pictures follows…morning sun, mid-day sun, and evening.
I was pulling weeds when I yanked one up and had a blast of Chamomile up the nose! Took a REAL look at it and exclaimed “that IS Chamomile!” What the?! I took the plant out back and put it in a container until I found my wildflower book. Sure enough ~ Wild Chamomile! I’m going to replant it near my rhubarb plants when I get home tonight…it’s being kept company in the small garden box at the moment.
The many faces of Hannah, my niece ~ we were at the Sparks Marina for lunch on Friday.
Finally…yard sales. They weren’t all that great this weekend, but I did pick up a bunch of books for a quarter each at the Sparks Methodist Rummage sale.
