Thoughtful Thursday

 

 

 

 

 

Outside my window... The backyard. I can see turtles in the creek.... and a guy mowing.

I am thinking... About my classes for BLAST tomorrow

I am thankful for... A flexible schedule

From the learning room... Most everyone is done with school today. I had a math test this morning.

From the Kitchen... Not much is happening there tonight. The kitchen is usually uneventful nights before BLAST class.

I am wearing... My dark Skinny Kick Jeans, a comfy tee, barefoot, my silver cross ring, "diamond" stud earrings. My hair is straightend.

I am creating... Mmmm. I'm working on a few things...

I am going... Nowhere tonight. I had to go to the college this morning.

I am reading... My bible - psalms, proverbs, and I Peter. I'm not currently reading any books (looking for one to read) but I'm kinda reading a play by Oscar Wilde (same guy who wrote The Importance of Being Ernest) but I can't really get into it...

I am hoping... I can get my classes planned quickly and have a nice evening and an early night.

I am hearing... The lawn mower. Actually, it just stopped. I can hear the kids in the other room.

Around the house...  Everyone is busy doing something. Lots of us aren't home. Most people are getting ready for classes tomorrow.

One of my favorite things... Earl Grey Tea. I'm crazy over it. Did you know its Prince Charles' favorite blend? He has great taste. I need a cup about now...

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tomorrow is BLAST. Saturday is shopping. Sunday is a rest/catch up on unfinished things day. And all the next week is just full of normal week day stuff - school, homework, errands, gym, etc.

The Prettiest Place on Earth?

Here are a few snapshots I took around the house this morning. I love living here.





The humming birds love the flowers Mom planted along the front of the porch.

 

Around the corner of the house - everything is getting so green. *SUMMER*



A view of our front yard, down the driveway.



A gorgeous tree in the backyard



A view of the creek. See it? Its way down there.



Another view of the creek. If you look hard, you can see a bird on the log.

Our garden - we have two raised beds and a plot(?). We've got several varieties of tomatoes, red bell peppers, basil, squash, cabbage, beets, green beans, thyme, lavender, strawberries, two types of lettuce, three types of greens, cucumbers, water melon, cantaloupe, carrots, jalapenos, and onions.

We have wild blackberry bushes growing at the front of our property.
