Simple Woman's Daybook ~June 22

***
Outside My Window ... that tiny Bradford pear tree we planted for Katie's birth has easily reached my second story window.
***
I am thinking ...almost incessantly about next term's lessons and plans.
***
I am thankful for ...homecomings after long business trips .
***
From the kitchen ...For breakfast: bagels in the van on the way out to the country; for lunch: tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh garden basil (I live for this:-); for dinner: Teriyaki stir-fried beef and broccoli followed by fresh blueberry pie and lots of homemade whipped cream...
***
I am wearing ... A white t-shirt, khaki capris, crocs and a bandana.
***
I am creating ...lesson plans and booklists--lots of them! Still.
***
I am going ...to
meet some friends bright and early to go blueberry picking.
***
I am reading ...Regina Doman's new fairytale, The Midnight Dancers.
***
I am hoping
...my husband returns homely safely tonight. Out-of-the -country trips are always disconcerting.
***
I am hearing ... Gracie by Ben Folds. Karoline is dancing.
***
Around the house
... I'm learning to celebrate little victories and accept with cheerful resignation the inevitable messes.
One of my favorite things
...long Sunday afternoon naps with Karoline.***
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: I'm sure there will be a big, huge breakfast in bed with bunches of children tomorrow when they see Daddy arrived home in the middle of the night; for the rest of the week: mornings outside in the garden and afternoons with our noses in good books.
