FOR TODAY : August 25, 2008
A bit of rain, a little cooler, summer seems to be giving up on us.

Outside My Window… There are gray clouds outside. The apple tree is still heavy with fruit. The recent rains have watered the lawn and it is starting to green up a bit. My rosemary has hit a growing streak and I can see the tips of new growth over my window sill.
I am thinking… This week I am working on so many things it is hard to keep everything straight.
I am thankful for… My dad and brother getting back from their race car thing safely.
From the kitchen… I have my coffee this morning. Tonight we are having homemade mac and cheese which will make the children wildly happy.
I am wearing… a pink sweater and brown capris.
I am creating… This isn’t a creating week, this week is a week to gather all my loose ends and then head out for the cabin.
I am going… To the Cabin this weekend with the children.
I am reading…  In Defense of Food.
I am hoping… That I get those things I need to get done taken care of.
I am hearing… A bit of early morning traffic, one lone song bird.
Around the house… I need to get the packing done for the cabin.  I am working on week two of my Holiday Grand Plan thing.
One of my favorite things… The rich smokey smell when the neighbor is curring salmon.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Lots of cleaning and packing, getting ready for our Cabin trip.
