Ascension Thursday Daybook

Outside My Window
It's a beautiful sunny windy day.  The temperature is in the 70's.  It's quite a difference from the last week of heat and humidity.

I am Listening
to the sound of the girls laughing while they swing.

I am so Grateful for
time with my husband. Lots of overtime lately means little time at home.

I am Reading
just the commentary from The Annotated Sense and Sensibility by David Shapard. I'm finishing up a year of reading and studying Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility with my Jane Austen book club.

I am Wearing
tan shorts and a white tee.

To Live the Liturgy
40 days since Easter!  Nine Days until Pentecost!  Tomorrow we begin the Pentecost Novena .

I am Inspired
by our veterans who fought so that we may live freely.

I am Hoping and Praying
for continued good health.
those who are facing lay offs.
for those missing loved ones right now.
for those who are sick.
for our priests.

Around the House
We're having a yard sale fundraiser in a few weeks.  I have to set aside time to go through toys we no longer use. 
From the Kitchen
Oh, the farm fresh produce!  I've been busy in the kitchen making lots of wonderful salads, rhubarb and strawberry muffins and fruit salads.
One of My Favorite Things
I just love picking up strawberries from the farm in the blue/green cardboard containers.  I just feel like I've gone back to a simpler time.

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week
Drive to the last First Friday Mass of the school year, attend the JASNA luncheon and  finalize plans for the last week of school
