• we have seen some beautiful sunrises; this morning it looked as is the sky was on fire
• a clean kitchen
• my brother and sister-in-law were married 16 years ago today ~ we don't always see eye-to-eye, but i need to remember to thank God for putting them in my life

For Today...

outside my window it is still dark ~ and cold: 37

around the house ugh ~ it has been busy the past couple of weeks and it shows; this weekend will be a good opportunity to work around the house

from the kitchen we are still enjoying last weekend's pumpkin butter

from the learning rooms we are reading Rasco and the Rats of NIMH and Little House in the Big Woods; we are declining Latin nouns; we are enjoying How It's Made; 

i am creating gift lists ~ two boys' birthdays and then Saint Nicholas Day are looming

i am listening to John Michael Talbot Radio on Pandora

i am planning a lesson on Mary Cassatt and American Impressionism for class on Monday

i am pondering this post by Elizabeth

i am praying for my daughter and son-in-law, who are driving home from New Mexico ~ and for rain

i am reading Psalm 19 this week; The Innocence of Father Brown on my nook

i am thankful for so much; for this time of year, a time devoted and ideally suited to giving thanks

one of my favourite things is the end of daylight savings time this weekend
