Making: soaked oats from Honestly Nourished. Cooking: ~ Drinking: this peach melba smoothie. Okay, so it was more like mango and cherry melba, but it was fantabulous. Reading: Anne of Windy Poplars. It's the fourth book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Wanting: ~ Looking: through all the delicious smoothie recipes over at Nutrition Stripped. The pictures are so pretty! Saundra, the Stripped Green Smoothie you recommended is looming in my future. Playing: my Joe Hisaishi station on Pandora. Wasting: kombucha. There was too much tea for too little SCOBY to ferment, so it grew some mold. Sewing: nothing yet, but I need to sew button eyes on Matthew's fox scarf as he requested. Wishing: ~ Enjoying: the extra free time floating about lately. It's amazing how much my day opens up when I don't have chapters upon chapters of reading to do for Omnibus. Waiting: ~ Liking: the single serving nut butter packets my sister brought us from BB's (the wonderful Amish discount store). Wondering: when the tradition of sending flowers to girls (before balls and things) stopped. Loving: the warmer weather! I cleaned the chicken coop, weeded the raised beds, and got some sunshine on my face. Hoping: I get to do at least half of the summer plans I've been concocting. Marveling: how much older my nieces look every time I see them! Needing: ~ Smelling: ~ Wearing: Under Armour leggings. I'm sort of obsessed.... Following: ~ Noticing: how much better my day feels by getting up an hour earlier. I've been getting up at 7:15ish all school year, and it's fun to see what more I can get done by getting up at 6:15 (for one, breakfast isn't as rushed). Knowing: ~ Thinking: how strange it is that in a year and a half I will be a senior. :o Feeling: happy that I have almost four pages of my ten page paper written and I only started yesterday. hip hip hip hooray! Bookmarking: ~
I have lots of spare time today, so here go my homestead hopes tumbling out onto my blog. :) Yes, I'm only sixteen, but I can daydream about a lovely white farmhouse (with a wrap-around porch) in Maine, complete with chickens, heritage hogs, and maybe some sheep or goats. Not to mention the orchard, vegetable garden, and beehives.
