The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ August

Today is the last day of August, and I am just now getting to my Daybook for the month. Since this year started out very odd, I decided to use the Daybook as my entry on my main blog for the year. Keeping up with the post for our 40-4-40 adventures is enough for this old gal. I've done pretty well getting my 365 Day's a Year photo's posted so far as well. Granted I tend to post the whole month at a time, but it is better than not at all! 
Only missed a couple of days so far, yeah! 
What a MONTH August was!

Looking out my window...
...I can see many different things.
It all depends on which window I may be looking out.
From the living room, I still see the DEAD garden that still has the two broken umbrella's twirling about from last months monsoon!
 Bella looks out the same window but to keep an eye out for those feral cats and chickens that wandered in.
One bark and they run!
From the closet window, I see a construction mess!
Kitty doesn't mind looking out the window though.
She has taken over the makeshift reading nook I made. 
It's made out of a hope chest and a quilt until I get something better.
What I would love to find is the right comfy chair to replace it.
I also took down those curtians as well. 
 While looking out the window of the car, another monsoon was brewing in the distance!

It was coming as we were going.

 I am thinking...
...how far we have come, and how far we still have to go!
We couldn't have done what we have or what we will be doing without His blessings!
...these last 40 years have taken us to the highest mountains we thought we couldn't climb, to below sea level, thinking we are going to drown!
Then His grace comes upon us, and in the blink of an eye, everything begins changing, growing, just as it's supposed to.
...only of where He has us right now.
I am thankful...
...for so much! 
Not a day begins nor ends without praising Him for every part of it! 
He's the God of All my days!
...that the repairs to the truck were less than we had feared.
...that God sent us an Angel. Seriously, our new employee's name is Angel!
One of my favorite things...
...is getting ready for one of our adventure!
I am creating...
... a unique book for an extraordinary couple, who's wedding is part of our upcoming adventure.
I am wearing...a pair of jeans and a loose fitting tee.
I am watching... it's more like listening to NASCAR while I write the post. I'm also watching an old dog, so he doesn't get attacked by a wild cat!
In my kitchen...is a bunch of recipes that really need organizing!
I've been slacking these last few months but for a good reason. Up until the end of July, I still couldn't reach with my left arm. Now I can, but it does have some weight limits. 
Recipes would qualify as light lifting.

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ July

For Today

Looking out my window...
As I kept an eye on Kitty as she explored the yard, I watched her climb her first tree!

It's become a routine. Every morning when the dogs are let out, so Kitty has been joining them. Bella will keep an eye on her too!
I am thankful...
We had the opportunity to get out of the heat and spend the day at the coast.
 One of my favorite things...
are Bubbles!
Actually watching the "Grand's" make BIG bubbles!
 
 My new favorite thing is my LensBall!
I am learning to create...some cool pictures with it.
 I also learned to watch where the sun is. Remember how we use to use a pair of glasses or a magnifying glass to burn leaves. Well, the LensBall does the same thing. Those bright spots in the ball and on my hands are where it began to burn me.
I am wearing...a pair of capris jeans and a tank top.
I am watching...Battle of the Sexes
In my kitchen...I baked up some fresh caught Halibut one of my boys caught. Laid fillets in a pie pan. Added some lemon, pepper, and spread butter over the top. Sprinkled a decent amount of Italian Panko Crumbs over that and baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. 
In my garden...are fried green tomatoes, again! At least this year I got some before the extreme heat hit. Even my watermelon I was so thrilled about didn't survive! Our yard guy has been working on the weeds for me, preparing it for a fall garden. I'll be interested to see how that goes!

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ June

For Today

Looking out my window...I see signs that all is right with my space!
Getting back outside was lovely.
I was able to get everything washed down and ready for a Flag Day Birthday Celebration.
I keep thinking...about where I was just four months ago, and the progress I have made! Even with the surgery last Wednesday, it went so well, my daughter joked with me of how I kept repeating my joy! After all the emergency surgeries I have had if this was what a routine surgery is, mine was better then that!
I am SO thankful...for those in my life that make each day such a blessing!
One of my favorite things...is participating in the Clickin Moms Annual Scavenger Hunt!
Every July, for the last 10 years, I have printed the list she provides, and try my best to capture as many off the list as possible. I don't participate in her contest for any of the prizes; it's well out of my league. 

I do it just for the fun!

This is the list for this year...in case you might want to join in.
I am creating...a way for us to get out in the trailer more often without hubby having to drive for days. So we headed up to Lake Cuyamaca to check out a few places they have. 
I am wearing...my red LulaRoe Carly. 
 I am watching..."2012" 
I am learning...to accept the fact that she wants to check out the outside! 
Bella likes to keep an eye on her.
In my kitchen...is everything I need to create some awesome ribs for a 4th of July Celebration!
 In my garden...I lost my tomatoes out in the big garden. Once again I got fried green tomatoes due to a heat wave!
But the cherry tomatoes in a container on my deck are still thriving.
Plus I have a watermelon!
