On Sunday

 

Red Rose

On Sunday, when I first woke up at 6:00 a.m. to feed Dancer (he didn't care that I went to sleep at 3:30 a.m.; he wanted breakfast), I looked outside and it was so misty that I could barely see to the end of the garden.  When I woke up for the second time, it was sunny and bright; the mist had all disappeared.

We had pancakes and sausages for brunch.  It wasn't in my meal plan, but, it was what I was in the mood for and what I felt like making.  Afterwards, I walked for 15 minutes, did a couple of loads of laundry, changed the dust sheets on the sofas, watched some TV (cooking shows), and spent an hour or so crafting, as that's my new goal for this month, to spend more time crafting on a daily basis.  I also watched the evening news and some online videos and watered the houseplants.  

For dinner, we had "breakfast for dinner" - daughter, quite literally, as she ate the leftovers from brunch, and I had a scrambled egg and a microwave baked sweet potato.  Daughter had peach cobbler for dessert and so far, I have managed to avoid it.  

On Sunday, I am grateful for:

- A sunny and warm day
- Time to do crafts
- Working appliances
- Emails from friends
- Kind blog comments

Sunday's joyful activities included doing crafts and walking in my garden.

Plans for Monday include:

- Going to my dental appointment in the afternoon
- Putting away laundry
- Watering the garden
- Taking the trash cans to the curb
- Crafting
- Taking down and putting away the Halloween decorations
- Cleaning the living room
- Making a meal plan

Starting November

 

Peach Cobbler

Happy November, everyone!

November dawned sunny and warm with a high of 77F.  I made my usual milkrice for brunch.

In the afternoon, daughter and I went to the library.  We dropped off our ballots at the ballot box outside the library and then, we went inside the library.  We spent a few minutes browsing the shelves and I borrowed a book I had borrowed earlier, which I hadn't been able to finish reading, and a magazine.  Daughter borrowed several books, too.  She practiced her driving on the way home, which was nice.

Afterwards, daughter did some beading and I did some diamond painting.  I am determined to spend at least 30 minutes (preferably one hour) a day doing a crafts project this month.  It's an activity that brings me a lot of pleasure and yet, I often don't take the time to sit and craft.  

Dinner was ramen noodles and daughter made a Japanese style pickled cucumber salad which was delicious.  Later, she decided to bake a peach cobbler, using a packet of homegrown peaches I had frozen.  It was delicious! 

On the first day of November, I was grateful for:

- A new month and a new beginning
- Being able to vote, thanks to everyone who strove to obtain the right for women to vote
- Public libraries and all the resources they provide
- Daughter is feeling more confident about driving
- A sunny and warm day

The day's joyful activities included spending an hour or so crafting and going to the library.

Plans for Sunday include spending another hour crafting and doing some laundry.
