Simple Sunday...

Simple Sunday is something I made up a while ago to make sure I get a day of peace (or at the very least, a day to stay home) during my busy and stressful week.  I don't always stick to it, but when I need to, I do.

Plan for this week's Simple Sunday...

• Coffee with my sister this morning.  We don't do this enough, and we've both been so busy that we see very little of each other these days.  Sad.
• Plant cucumber seeds in newspaper seed pots that I made myself.  The fall garden is really coming along.
• Read.  I'm now reading three books at one time, which is very unlike me, but they are very different and sometimes I'm not in the mood to read where my food comes from.  It can be upsetting.  So I choose which book I want to read by the mood I'm in.  The books:
• The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.  I like this author, but this book is very eye-opening about where food comes from.  Hard to read at times.
• The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel.  One of my all-time favorites, and I reread it now and then.  
• The Complete Compost Gardening Guide by Barbara Pleasant and Deborah Martin.  This one is like a textbook about compost.  I don't think it's a secret that I have a strange obsession with compost at this point.  But it's not really reading for pleasure.  
• Laundry--I don't mind doing laundry because I can do other things while the laundry is working.  And I love clean-smelling clothes.
• I'd like to do some sewing, but I don't have a project going right now, so that might not happen--I should at least think about a project I want to start.  
• Puttering around my house--one of my very favorite things to do.  Water plants, move this and that, sit in my rocking chair, whatever.
