Hopes and Schemes

Right now... I need to go pick up my husband so we can go to the evening Mass.

This weekend... it rained and rained and rained. So the garden project is still in the scheming mode.

Some plans for the week ahead: Clear out a spot for the garden, plant peas and radishes, and take my first stab at sprouting grain for bread.

If I find some time for myself, I want to... paint and reupholster a few chairs we have. It most likely won't happen this week, but a girl can dream, right? These chairs are ugly, but my secret pastime of do-it-yourself decorating blogs (like this one and this one) is making me think I could prettify them on a dime.

Prayer intentions for this week: for my sister, and nieces and nephews, and of course for the people in Japan.

Something that makes me smile: our dinner on Sunday... crusty bread, buttery corn, sizzling steaks, and dark beer in a mason jar.

Monday Musings are hosted by Nadja at Patch O' Dirt Farm.
