~FOR TODAY~
Outside My Window...
Grey again. Cloudy and 34 degrees. The household trash and recyclables bagged piled near the driveway waiting for the garbage truck to hall it away.

I am thinking...
About our kitchen garden and the new cold frame. Can't wait to plant spinach and lettuce seeds.. Wondering when the weather conditions will all me to do so.

I am thankful for...
All the talents that family members have. That we are also independent and like to do things for ourselves. Walt can fix broken appliances and build small structures He can do plumbing and electrical work. I know many old fashioned house hold skills. I cook, can, bake and even do a little sewing. We both garden and love the outdoors. Brian is a car mechanic and musician, Danny a creative writer, David a graphic artist, Katie is artistic and musical

Around the house...
Tiny tomato, pepper, lavender and thyme plants growing under lights. Seed packages spread out on the desk, gardening notes and tips scribbled in an old notebook.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Chores: today tackle laundry mountain, winter sow (or is it now Spring Sow) some tomorrow can more potatoes, check the stored apples and dehydrate or can (...apple sauce, pie filling?).

Blessings and warm weather wishes to come back to you soon ~
I love that photo. I have always dreamed of being in an area where I could be a part of the first/last snowfalls of the season. Beautiful.
Here in Oz, we are heading into Autumn, although the nights are beginning to cool down a little bit, the days are still sticky and muggy and hot!
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
