Monday Musings

Out in my yard today... sunny clear blue sky, no wind, and a warm 58 degrees. I found these in my front yard a few days ago.




I'm grateful for... good health, sunshine, and spring break!

One of my favorite things... fuzzy, furry socks- I don't like to wear shoes in the house and these keep my feet warm and cozy.

This week I'm reading... actually I just finished reading Austenland by Shannon Hale, a fun read for fans of Pride and Prejudice. It is my turn to pick the next book for our book club, so I am researching a few different options.

I'm looking forward to... celebrating St. Patrick's Day! This has always been a special day for me. Probably because my mom loved it so much and made it a big deal. Her birthday was March 18th, so it was a two day celebration. This year we are celebrating a little early with some dear friends. Of course there will be corned beef & cabbage with all the trimmings. How I love the wearin' of the green! Maybe I'll even spot a leprechaun...

Simple life tip for the week... consider putting a moratorium on shopping. For the next 30 days limit your purchases to groceries and basic essentials. This is a great way to evaluate your consumer habits, save time, and minimize clutter.
