Aren't these gardens looking nice? We have been able to get most of the big garden planted, but it doesn't look like much more than a dirt patch right now.
Thought I'd give you a run down of what a typical day looks like for me. It sounds like I'm doing a lot, but if you wrote down everything you did in a day, you'd probably see that you do the same.
Here goes:
5:30 am - Awake. It still amazes me. I used to be awake at this time of the morning all the time. Course I was considering going to bed in an hour or two.
5:30 - 6 am - Make tea, check e-mail
6-7 am - Attend prayer meeting in Texas via gloryofzion.org. Isn't the internet amazing!
Danced with the new worship hoop I made this week.
It is called "The Covenant of Healing". It is a prayer in art that declares I Peter 2:24 "by whose stripes you were healed". There are 39 yellow ribbons with clear beads that represent the 39 stripes that were laid on Jesus' back with a whip that was enhanced with shards of bone and metal. These "stripes" rest on a background of red mylar to symbolize His Blood. I love making these. I've done several different designs in the past. Haven't had much time for it lately. Someone asked me to make this one so I made the time. It is so much fun!
7-7:30 am - Finished checking e-mail and ordered some fence for Grampa
7:30-8:30 am - Dishes. Yes, I'm one of those horrible people who don't clean up the dishes after every meal. And even worse, I don't have a dishwasher to hide them in like the rest of you all! Yesterday, I spent all day outside and making noodles so there was quite the pile.
8:30 9 am - Finally getting around to breakfast.
9 - 11:30 am - Computer work. Updated the check books and our business books. Also did some comparison shopping for egg cartons.
11:30 -12:00pm - Cook and eat lunch.
12:00 - 1:00 pm - Work on Avon business
1:00 pm - Finally change out of my jammies. It looked like it was going to be an all day jammie thing, but I decided I needed to go outside for a bit so I put on a skirt and a cami.
1:15 - 1:30 pm - Take a few pictures and get some things out of the freezer in the garage. Took some pictures of the chicken feet I have hanging in the garage to dry for doggie treats. Was going to post them, but they are just too gross. Say, "Thank you Grama Sue!"
1:30 - 2 pm - Put away laundry from yesterday.
2 pm - Take a few minutes to listen to the rain and thank God for our sweet corn that needed just a little more moisture to help it make a good stand!
2:15 pm - Sun shining. Thought maybe there'd be a rainbow, but I was wrong. I always have to stop and look for rainbows!
2:20 pm - Make ice. I go through a whole lot of ice all by myself. It is one of my bigger daily chores.
2:30 - 3:30 pm - Put away dried noodles from yesterday and do dishes again. Talk to a couple of friends and my DIL on the phone as I'm working. Wally is 9 lbs, 9 oz already!
3:30 - 4 pm - Checked email again. Did you know that the Illinois govenor has proposed a budget that will increase the average person's income tax by 50%??? They are voting on it this week. Made a few phone calls to govenor, represenative and state senator, then forwarded the e-mail to some people I thought might want to know.
4 - 5:30 pm - Assessing work
5:30 - 7:30 pm - Supper with visiting family over at Mom's. Cool! Didn't have to cook!
7:30 - 9 pm - Writing blog. Having trouple getting pics to load. I don't type very fast either.
I still need to wash eggs and work on designing a new menu board for the farmer's markets. Might get to bed by 11pm
