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

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
