suits my mood....suits the weather....
...suits the weather we have coming tonight and tomorrow me thinks ;)
For more of this mellowing out style of music just head over to the 'Just Us' blog and crank up the volume :)
I'm loving this.....
Whenever I need to mellow out, I head over to Liz Kartchner's blog 'Just Us', crank the volume up and listen to her amazing choice of music...I love it all :) I'm a huge Lenka fan anyway, but I'm also loving her other music choice - like the above....
I have her blog open while I surf the web or just while I'm in the kitchen or doing things with the kids.....or even just folding laundry on the bed or whatever ;) I nrrd to add them to my ipod and my iphone too!! And I keep meaning to get Lenka's cd for the car too....yes I still buy cd's lol - I'm THAT old ;) hahahahaha!
Seriously?

Busy in the kitchen.....
Baking cakes, icing them and chopping rhubarb!!! Abigail is enjoying our new kitchen and turning into a great little chef....
...about this moment, today, this week!!
Outside my window...it is snowing lightly
I am thinking...that the cold and snow might kill off the mosquitoes....that it needs to warm up for the hummingbirds who should arrive this week or next....that I need to get the hummingbird feeders out next weekend....that we should move the bird feeder from the side of the garage to the trees because the woodpecker would LOVE that style of feeder
I am thankful for...the long weekend! That the children were home for 4 days and that Lloyd is off all week! That Chris has been in a good mood for so long :)
From the learning rooms......the big ants we all watched yesterday and their fight with the little ants - and the little ant with one good leg who was desperately trying to get away with his one good leg and how we were all watching it - and then Lloyd collected up a load of ants and put them in the fridge to sow them down and then we put them in the ant farm we have so we can study them!!!
From the kitchen...so much baking taking place - yesterday I baked crispy cinnamon twists out of puff pastry and cinnamon sugar...mmmmmm they were a big hit!! And it is so great how the new kitchen is bringing us all together so well and we talk so much more and spend so much more time together because there is so much space and we can be together and talk without being under each others feet all the time.....
I am wearing...I'm in bed typing this....'nuff said ;) .....
I am creating...right now I'm slowly creating layout kits to take to my retreat at the end of the month...I tend not to do much crafting in the Summer months. I am creating in the garden though - AND in the garden ;)
I am going..to make a blackberry and apple pie as well as something with rhubarb with the girls today!!!
I am reading...NOTHING!! Right now I am in my magazine stage :) buying and reading magazines :) It's all I have the energy for!!!
I am hoping...for some time with NO PEOPLE here.....I would like some space and time and privacy for a while - I have had people here every day since last August and I would just like my home back please...PLEASE??????? Even last May or June there were people here digging gas lines and holes.....and then wells were dug before that.....I am so DONE.....as nice as these guys are, I want some peace and quiet.....some privacy and space and just US!!! I want all their stuff GONE.....I want no radio, no music.......no polite conversation...no having to make coffee or anything to eat for anyone.........I just want my home to myself for the first time in almost a YEAR :(
I am hearing...Sam helping Daddy prepare his room for painting!!
Around the house...The basement framing is practically finished and drywalling is started...then taping and mudding etc.....then painting......
One of my favorite things..........boiled egg toasties with wholewheat toast and sprouts (sprouted seeds) mmmmmm. These taste better when they are eaten on the back deck in Lloyds company :) I'm also loving red pepper dipped in hummus at the moment!!
A few plans for the rest of the week........to Michaels......to Beemaid this week...to Lee Valley Tools this week.....swimming this week....maybe to the farmers market....lots of painting around the house....Abigail has an art class, Sam has Pre-K......Lloyd and I are going out for brunch.......Susie has two friends sleeping over next weekend....I'm hoping we will get confirmation of Abigails Summer Camp.
