Reading ... in the Bible I read chapters 25 through 34 of Jeremiah today.
In other books I have been on a bit of a classics kick, but I'm getting to the point where I'm almost classic'd out.
I'm halfway through Jane Eyre, and once I'm done with that I'll be taking a break and enjoying some lighter reading.
Earlier this year I had read The Last Bookshop in London which I had really enjoyed. In it the main character found her love of reading after being introduced to the book, The Count of Monte Christo. Because of the way she enjoyed the book it made me want to read it too. It turned out to be a hefty tome and the story not something I would usually choose to read, but I didn't mind. It kept me entertained the entire time.
Writing ... I've been concentrating on doing a rewrite for a first draft. I have an epilogue in mind that I'm looking forward to writing, but I'm making myself do the rewrite first.
Watching ... the birds at the feeder outside the kitchen window. Seeing the goldfinches turning brighter and brighter yellow is a sure sign that spring is here, and I'm enjoying watching them before we pack the feeder up for the warmer months.
Listening ... to sweetly singing birds.
Baking ... most recently we enjoyed some sugar-free peanut butter cookies. We all liked them quite a lot. Using a combination of honey and maple syrup worked great instead of sugar. I can see us making them again.
Cooking ... on tonight's menu there will be Baked Pollock Filets, Copycat Red Lobster shrimp, coleslaw, and baked potatoes.
Feeling ... decently good.
Disliking ... whatever this virus thing was we contracted. It had us in its grips for almost the entirety of March
Loving ... all the happy little signs of spring. The daffodils are budding nicely, the Coltsfoot flowers are blooming, the trees around the house are filled with singing birds, the air feels soft, and the temperatures so pleasant.
Playing ... Steven and I decided to go through all the little games we used to play often, but have somehow been pushed aside. Each one is making it to the table at least once and then we decide if we want to pack it away, or if we still enjoyed it enough to play again.
So far the majority are still enjoyable enough to want to play occasionally when we're in the mood for a short fun game: Sleeping Queens, Top Trumps (all of them), Spot-it, Fruit Punch, Clack! Skyjo, Pass the Pandas, and Dragonwood.
The more educational games such as Bumper Car Math, and a few grammar games get to be packed away. It was okay to play them once for old times sake, but it's time to close the chapter on them.
Today ... I had to take our vehicle to my favorite mechanic to have the tires rotated. Did the Saturday cleaning a day early, and tapped away at my laptop.
I enjoy your writing so very much!
ReplyDeleteI havent seen Coltsfoot for years. We seem to have lost so many of our wild flowers here.
