Outside my Window...
the construction workers are drilling (underwater, Marianna tells me) for the new Med. Moorings along the seawall.
Science today: How sound travels through saltwater.

I am thinking...
about the new school year. Today is our first day!

I am thankful for...
the time I was able to spend with my mother last week.

From the kitchen...
scallop stew for lunch.

I am creating...
our new rhythm. How should the school year flow?

I am going...
to sort through my clothes this week. St. Vincent de Paul's Feast is Saturday, what a great way to celebrate by donating to the local Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Thrift Store? (or a local thrift store if there happens to not be a SVdP one nearby)

I am wearing...
new autumny brown and red plaid shorts for the day.

I am reading...
the Penderwicks of Gardam Street with Marianna.

I am hoping...
to begin a new crafty project with Marianna this week.

I am hearing...
planes, A/C, drilling, Sirius Pops

Around the home...
I lit my favorite candle for the first time today - Ember. So spicy!

One of my favorite things...
the Fall butterfly migration.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
Italian for Padre Pio on Tuesday, Ember Days on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, traditional Brazilian Caruru for Saints Cosmas and Damian on Friday (and it's shrimp so fits in with the Ember Day), and finally I think a nice French peasant soup and crusty bread might be nice for Saint Vincent de Paul (and Ember Day) on Saturday.

Here is a picture thought or I am sharing with you:


What a pretty (unknown) bug!
Blue and orange still scream Broncos to me.
