The Simple Woman’s Daybook for April 20, 2015
For Today… April 13, 2015 Outside my window… it is that blue, not quite black of te start of night. I am thinking… that starting lessons up again is hard but worthwhile.

Keeping Company: Words and Themes
Celeste asked us to share our favorite place of Commonplace Keeping. I love keeping a Commonplace for a couple of disparate reasons. First, I love keeping Words. If you’re new around here, you may not know that every Wednesday I post a linkup called “Wednesdays with Words.” Cindy Rollins graciously allowed me to take over…
