Outside My Window...
I see more than a dozen bunches of grapes slowly forming on the vines, my potted hydrangea blooming in vibrant pink, & the lemon cucumber plant climbing toward the sun.
I am thinking...
About ways to swing the cost of a road trip up to Oregon next month & a possible stay-over at Crater Lake
I am thankful for...
A whole month off from choir commitments- I’m beginning to feel burned out & unmotivated to practice
From the kitchen...
Homemade spaghetti sauce with lots of veggies, grilled zucchini, & fresh fruit for dessert
I am wearing...
Navy knit capris & a sleeveless white shirt- just got back from a walk
I am creating...
More blocks for the Church quilt & working on Chris’ pullover vest
I am going...
To try making some new slips- it is getting harder & harder to find the kind I like (split skirt, like culottes, with no lace)
I am reading...
Still working through Back on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber & Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskill
I am hoping...
To be caught up on my backed up work at the job & back on schedule by this weekend
I am hearing...
The guys discussing seasoning for the sauce, Modern Marvels on the television & the floor fan humming
Around the house...
It is pleasantly cool inside after a hot day; Dahlia is napping atop the newspaper stack & chasing ghost birds; there are entirely too many bags sitting by the front door (& only half of them are mine)
One of my favorite things...
Classical Guitar music, especially Baroque
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Haircut on Wednesday (my stylist finally sent me a postcard announcing her new place); at least two visits to the gym (must get back up to 5-6 days a week); lots of carting Sam around to classes & lessons; & another dentist appointment to cement in a new crown & start the replacement on another
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Love the lavender picture! Have fun at the dentist :-P hehe
Meg I love reading these posts. I have to admit I'm a little envious of your garden...I can only grow herbs (in the food category).
As for the culotte slips, I get mine on line at lanebryant.com type in the search culottes and they come up. They run around $17 and you can trim them to fit your length.
Hope this helps, thanks for sharing your day!
I love these glimpses into your day you share. They are always delightful but real at the same time.
Meg: Thank you for the comment on my blog. I have posted the rose water recipe, if you are interested! Come on over, we have cinnamon tea on and a fresh batch of cookies. I would love to stay and help you do some work, but we have enough of our own!
