One Hour

Good Morning.
I have one hour and about 15 minutes by myself at home before I go pick up Miss C
from preschool. It is such a short time between dropping her off, then him off,  that I usually
just  run and errand instead of going back home, but this morning I opted for a bit of quiet time at
home seeing that she only has two more days of school after today.
And one of them is a picnic, so really just one more day/hour to myself.
This is a little what I am doing, thinking, planning right now.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

{Sipping} 
My super-hot-burn-your-mouth homemade Hillbilly Latte.
With extra cinnamon.
Yum.

{Picking}
Daisies and bringing them inside.
They make me happy.
And how perfect do they look in my 10 cent rummage sale vase.
Love.

{Stacking}
Piles of books, shelves of books, baskets of books...books are everywhere.
We could have much worse problems...even if the piles do tend to drive me a little crazy sometimes.
Luckily everyone in this house loves to read.

{Promising}
Myself that I will not buy any more vintage table cloths. For a while.
Maybe a week.
Oh, who am I kidding? They are way too hard to pass up.
Basket full of happiness right here.

{Reading & Researching}
This book.
Time to face the fact that gardeners are made and not born...at least in my case, anyway.
We bought some seeds and a couple of plants and soil yesterday.
Flowers and herbs and veggies.
Charlotte and I will be getting our hands dirty this afternoon.
I can do this.

{Re-arranging}
My mantle.
I have such a hard time decorating our fireplace mantle around a flat-screen Tv.
Ughhhhh.
I don't like it, not one bit and may never get used to the Tv hogging up my mantle.
But, it really is the best spot for a Tv in our living room.
Oh well.

{Growing}
A baby pine tree Charlotte and Eric found in the back yard and dug up.
How cute is that?
So tiny.

{Anticipating}
Starting Mad Men, Season 1.
We came in a little later on this show, then quit watching for a while, so I am looking forward
to watching it from the beginning with Eric, a weekly show to watch together again.
Yay for the Public Library!

{Loving}
This little beauty.
Antique store find, $7.
Just look at that color.
Now to find a ribbon for it....hmmmm...

{Gazing}
At my new cabinet/buffet/dresser thing.
I am in LOVE.
IN LOVE with this baby.
This is exactly what I have been looking for!
It is big, long and a sturdy well-made piece of furniture.
Tons of storage.
All it needs is a fresh coat of white paint and some new drawer pulls.
Did I mention it was $12 at a church rummage sale, then 50 % off?
$6.00 you guys!

That's it for me, my hour is up.
What are you up to today?
Hope you all have a great Tuesday.
