FOR TODAY May 19th... Outside My Window... A lawn in desperate need of mowing, lots of droopy plants begging for water & deadheading after the extreme heat this past weekend, & several wasps buzzing around the front door- time to call the bug guy. I am thinking... how incredible that we are beginning the last two weeks of school~ & that come August, my baby boy will be a high school Senior. I am thankful for... the comfort of central air conditioning & the return of cooler temperatures From the kitchen... I think it will be a good evening for salads & maybe a little grilled chicken. I am wearing... a dark blue skirt, a medium blue knit top, & navy loafers I am creating... Excel worksheets that will help greatly reduce the amount of time I spend reconciling general ledger accounts each month~ less time spent at work is always good! I am going... to take Sam to the movies this week (maybe tonight)~ he had the opportunity to see Prince Caspian yesterday with his friends & turned it down so we could see it together I am reading... Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskill (I really enjoyed the PBS series, & found a copy on my bookshelf while looking for something else) & Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach I am hoping... that Chris’ case of the “Grummpies” is very short-lived. He has been rather harsh with Sam &, while I make a point trying not to correct & micro-manage his parenting style, I’m concerned about damage it could do to their relationship. I am hearing... someone rattling the front door of the office & cursing; even though we have always been closed on Monday & Wednesday, and put a large “Sorry, We’re Closed Today” sign on the door, they still get angry when I won’t jump up to let them in. Around the house... I still haven’t gotten to those curtains, so tonight they come down & into the washer; I must set out some ant traps~ the heat & lack of rain has driven the legions into the house in search of water; & the electric mower needs to be repaired or replaced~ I’m seriously considering an old fashioned rotary push mower, then there would be no excuse for the mess out back J One of my favorite things... the scent of spearmint, especially in my iced tea A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Finish the reusable shopping bag for the Ravelry swap; mail off some t-shirts to Africankelli for her trips to Nicaragua & Mozambique; & get Sam registered for a learn-to-golf clinic in June (his request) & another evening of tennis lessons to revamp his game (his coach’s request) Here is picture thought I am sharing. The last of my Red California Poppies~ hiding a little surprise… A little Dahlia hidden underneath, watching the bird feeder J Please drop by Peggy’s blog, “The Simple Woman”, to join (or just read along) the other ladies as they take a snapshot of their day & focus on the simple things.

I really love this list of yours; it makes me think more carefully. I don't have the first book you mentioned but I have been watching the show. I enjoy the Simple Abundance book and never get tired of it.
Love these little windows into your world. :)
And the flower pic is wonderful.
Enjoy your week~

Hey Meg! Did you get my email today?
Hi Meg I enjoyed reading your list. What a good idea. Maybe I'lll do that sometime too!
I have been taping the Cranford series on TV but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.It started 3 weeks ago here.
Hope you have a good week.
Hugs, Rhondi
It's so sweet that he wanted to wait and see Prince Caspian with you! :0) Enjoy!
I enjoyed reading your wonderful Daybook! Your flowers are beautiful. If my sunflower house works out, it will be three sides of sunflowers (the 4th side is the door) with morning glories climbing up. Kind of a rectangle shape.

Hi Meg! I haven't visited in a while, I see you've been busy as usual!
Love your lists and your pictures...
I love that your son waited to go to the movies with you...so sweet aren't they?
Hope you are well!
Mrs. Meg ~ a senior already? What will you be doing this time next year? I know you'll love that boy like crazy this next year. He seems like a good one ~ big things ahead! (I'm waiting, waiting, waiting to see Prince Caspian, too ... if it ever comes to this little town!)
I enjoyed reading your daybook. You have a really lovely blog! What a nice boy Sam is! Have a perfect weekend…Kathy@ Mimi’s Garden
Lovely flowers! I can't wait until we get a nice day so I can make some sun tea. Growing up, my parents had mint planted and we'd put a few sprigs in the jug with the tea bags...mmmmm!
