Despite a cranky hip and a painful morning, there are no shortage of Monday Mercies today:
beautiful fall sunshine streaming in
leaves swirling down
this song by owl city. its intro feels like possibility
baking loaves of pumpkin bread
and a batch of peanut butter cookies
time with my girls
a phone chat with a friend
a new book in the mail
the aroma of cinnamon and cloves wafting from the oven
What are your Monday Mercies?
Pumpkin bread and peanut butter cookies- yum. And please, please tell me your thoughts on L.L.'s new book when you get through it some. I don't know why, but this book intimidates me for some reason! I want to read it, and I don't at the same time... not sure what that's all about.
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying your fb posts with all the cute things your girls say. Yes, even with cranky hips and swollen hands and a myriad of health issues, we are so blessed Jennifer.

Oh, I can't wait to dive into the book. I'll let you know what I think.
ReplyDeleteRight there with you on swollen hands; I'm anxiously awaiting my first pair of arthritis compression gloves to arrive.
Enjoyed your list today! Phone time with a friend made my list today, too. :) I would love to have had a whiff of the wonderful scents at your house today!
