FOR TODAY as part of The Simple Woman's Daybook
Outside my window... I can see new mulch. Beauty to any gardener's eye.
I am thinking... of how I'm slightly sore from loading and unloading a 16 foot flat bed trailer with mulch, twice.
I am thankful for... free mulch from the city and a friend who shared her trailer and her muscle!
From the learning rooms... a list of German-language books to read from our Swiss visitor.
From the kitchen... bagels being toasted.
I am creating... a rough draft of a story that I've daydreamed about for years.
I am going... to a doctors appointment for my 4 year old. Can there be a worse timing for a downtown appointment than 4:15 p.m.?
I am reading... Bis Zum Morgengrauen as soon as it comes.
I am hoping... that I won't need a dictionary when I read the above. But I will.
I am hearing... my two Littles playing with lego-built spaceships under my desk.
Around the house... is a lot of unfolded laundry and dust.
One of my favorite things... working with a shovel and hoe.
A few plans for the rest of the week: we are trying to play tourist this week with our Swiss guest.
Here is my "picture for thought" ... Digging mulch can be family fun, right?

We've "done" the mulch thing here several times as well, Susan! Actually, we need more, and the boys just moan and groan when we mention it! :D
Have a great day!

I am listening to....banana phone and watching Q dance around. He has a cold. It's summer. IT iS NOT FAIR!
I love your lists, and your obsession with mulch. I mean OBSESSION!
I like peeking into your morning. Now I want a bagel...and some mulch!
Pam, You are teaching your boys a valuable lesson: there is no such thing as too much mulch.
I absolutely love the smell of fresh mulch. And now this is going to sound weird, but I also really loved shoveling mulch for 2 summers in a row. The dump truck would come and dump this huge pile in my driveway and it was fun to shovel it and watch it tumble down.
