Currently reading:

The weather outside is:
Beautiful! Not to bad during the day and cool at night.

Thursday: homemade pizzas with home canned sauce
Friday: undecided
If I have a few minutes to myself I will:
Either read on the front porch, or crochet a bit. Or simply sit and sip hot tea and enjoy the peace and quiet.
I am starting to make a few more sets of these in different colors. I hope to get time this week.
New recipe I tried, or want to try this week:
Home canned barbeque sauce, and home canned red onion/blueberry jam on meat.
One of my simple pleasures:
Sitting on the porch doing nothing.

Looking around the house:
It's very quiet. Kids are all in school, dogs are napping, cats are napping, and the washing machine is churning.
Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, or blogpost that caught your eye): Honestly, I haven't done a lot of reading, other than the blogs I follow. Maybe next week I'll have more free time.
Praying for:
my older two kids, Mom, Dad, my cousins, our finances, our current situation with the mud bog invasion, and friends with requests.
Bible Verse/Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment:
Hebrews 11:1
What is faith? It is the confident
assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence
of things we cannot yet see.

Nancy, the cold nights here are helping shut them down early now. I hope the weather helps.
Looks like the dog is enjoying the quiet house. Sometimes I think they have more sense than we humans do! ('Course, their responsibilities are a little different than ours, too!)
