rhythm of a day

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

t

 so teach us to number our days

 that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom






t
In peace I will 
both lie down 
and sleep for you alone
O Lord, make me
 dwell in safety.

MONDAY

 Monday is purple day

Cleaning bedrooms day

washing linens, sweeping the floors, and dusting old wooden bureaus

Mondays are making soup days

jasmine days

Mondays are quietness and calm and contemplation

Mondays are fresh starts




t
this is the day that the Lord has made
let us rejoice and be glad in it

TUESDAY

 is red day

right deed day

Cleaning  kitchen day...

washing old oaken floors and

scrubbing the back of the refrigerator

 a bar of clove scented soap at the sink

and a casserole bubbling away in the oven



t
you make the dawn 
and the sunset
shout for joy


WEDNESDAY

 is yellow day

right standpoint

scrubbing the bathroom day

shining sinks and shaking out bathmats

windows open to let in the fresh air

walking wild in the elms

asparagus for dinner

and fish with lemon




t
search me O God, and know my heart
try me and know my thoughts:
and see if there be any wicked way in me
and lead me in the way everlasting.

THURSDAY

  right striving

is orange and smells like fresh cedar

lay out the crock pot early in the morning

vacuum the floors in the living room

clear off the clutter in the dining room

 dust the furniture

fluff the pillows

pet the cat



t
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

FRIDAY

 is green

wild-rose scented goat's milk soap

in my morning shower

water the plants

watch Venus low on the horizon

as we drive home from dinner

if there are chores they are finance chores

and setting affairs in order


t
Open my eyes 
that I may see
wonderful things
in your law


SATURDAY

 is indigo

deep blue-purple skies at the end of the day

market day and laundry day and all the things that didn't get done day

the scent of myrrh in the diffuser

homemade muffins, fresh fruit, and greens set up for the week

zucchini and a chicken in the oven




SUNDAY

Sabbath day

 is a white day

and smells like frankincense

Church in the morning

Sundays are reading under blankets

or stretched out under a shade tree in the park

Nana's white tablecloth

and fresh flowers on the table

early dinner

candles lit

family and friends and laughter and love

holding hands




t
evening, and morning
and at noon,
will I pray,
and cry aloud;
and he shall hear my voice

    I love this post! Is this your schedule for every week, or just what you did on the last week? Your bedroom has a light and airy country feel. Your bowls are beautiful. I really like how you have paired each days doings with a matching bible verse.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
