Flotsam / Jetsam

Things I have enjoyed lately

1 Comment
  • Thinking about NaNoWriMo.
  • The pretty, pretty leaves.
  • Poppy, upon being handed a juice box: “Oh! It’s just like meal-in-a-cup!”
  • Thinking about Thanksgiving.
  • Dressing the kids up in their Halloween costumes. (Little Red Riding Hood! The Big Bad Wolf! Cuteness!)
  • Pouring red beans & rice into gallon-size bags with Rockford. (Simple pleasures. I know. Maybe you had to be there.)
  • Re-reading “The Book Thief” to see if it was as good as I’d originally thought. It was. I cried again.
    • Flotsam / Jetsam

    Sounds of relative quiet

    Right now, Pete is napping. Poppy is out with Rockford — who took her with him to get his haircut. Brave fella! It’s mighty quiet and mighty nice. Once they get back, we’ll go to the grocery store and the library. But probably not in that order. I should be making the grocery list or transplanting bushes* right now. Instead, I’m going to continue savoring the silence for a few minutes.

    Updates!

  • I started the transplanting project, but then it got all cold and rainy. So now I just have a hole in the yard. Landscaping fail.
  • I went to the library and got our homeschooling book for next week. I also accidentally picked up a science fiction novel (called “Julian Comstock“). I thought it was a Western (because of the “Comstock“). Library win/fail.
  • We went to the grocery store, and I got a jelly doughnut. Win.

    • *Because this plan! We’re doing it! Or something similar.
