Daybook for Today, February 27, 2010
A Picture Thought to Share . . . One of my very favorite photos of my Grandma Ruth. Taken this past summer holding Luke. She just looks so regal. Grandma passed away on the 13th. She lived a full life full of love. She will be missed.Outside my Window... It is sunny!!! Finally! This long dark winter thing has gotten old.
I am thinking... and excited to announce that we signed on a house!!! We found a one-of-a-kind house and property and jumped on it. I didn't think we'd be making a decision so quickly but, like I said, it is truly one-of-a-kind. I'll share details once the inspection is over (on Monday) and I can breathe easier. I feel like I still can't quite believe it's mine just yet.
I am wearing . . . Jeans, charcoal grey three quarter length sleeve sweater, red rose earrings.
From the school room... let's not talk about "the school room." It's been a bit quiet lately. We have been watching some Baby Signing Time with Luke however and he seems to really enjoy it.
I am thankful...for answered prayers!
I am creating... idea folders for decorating, paint colors and gardening ideas in our new house; we'll have a garden and room for lots of flowers! Gardening lists are being organized based upon vegetable garden, fruit and nut trees and grape and berry varietals, herbs and medicinal (thinking elderberry, echinacea, chamomile and mints, etc.) Trying to think about what we can do this summer and what we'll plan on in the next few years. Also researching and thinking about growing some rambling roses, peonies and hydrangeas too . . . I'm a big fan of big, showy flowers.
I am reading.... as nerdy as this sounds, I'm hoping that on our date night tonight we can schedule in a leisurely visit to the local bookstore. I need some new inspiration.
I am hearing. . . Quiet. Both boys are napping (shockingly! At the same time!!) and T. and I are taking it easy.
Around the house... My husband vacuumed today while I was away at a momaha.com team meeting! Praise the Lord! I hate vacuuming. Thank you, honey!
One of my favorite things... is scented candles. They just make the house smell like a home.
A Few Plans and Prayer Intentions For The Rest Of The Week ...
- Pray for guidance, patience and grace as a mama of two. And for some conclusion and peace of heart and mind for some specific prayer intentions for our family. Please pray for us!
- Home Inspection on Monday!

congrats on the new place! it's so much fun thinking about paint colors and flowers isn't it? I was just thinking this morning how I can't wait for spring, just so that i can have fresh peonies around my house again. They are truly my favorite flower.
Wonderful news for your family!
I am a big fan of climbing roses and landscape roses. They require so little care and so hardy. We love peonies here, too. I have several different colors and every year I try to fit in another.
We've been moving towards edible landscaping. Some ideas like concord grapes and raspberries have worked well. Our peach tree which is now about two years old seems to be doing well. Our apple trees are not doing so well, but it's more deer damage than anything else. Our blueberry bushes haven't done well at all, and our currants stopped producing. I've been debating whether to install more edible plants this year or just redesign the yard for more vegetable garden space.
I love the picture of your Grandma Ruth with Luke. I have a similar picture of my Grandma with my son taken 2 years ago at Easter, when he was 3 months old. She died a few months later in July, and I will always be thankful, and cherish that picture of her with my son.
