Our Friday ~ Rest, Rain, Storm and Pie

By late afternoon/early evening 

it did more than rain, it stormed! 

I am reading more of Kathleen Norris' Dakota...

I can see how this was one of her earlier books...

she is learning a lot and putting it into words...

you can see the seeds of both

the cloister walk and amazing grace: a vocabulary of faith...

I put together some IKEA boxes...

Mr. Husband came home the other day with this

sweet wild flower bouquet :)

I made pie.

Trying to replicate what I did here.

But I did not have the whipping cream, the third

cream cheese or as many strawberries, so

it's a different pie.

I used half and half and sour cream, two things of

cream cheese... I like the other one better,

but this is still good, if a bit too sweet....

I hope to do it again after the fast;

It was good to make something though and 

this pie is the first thing I made in our new home!

I am still doing lots of resting;

in someways I feel like I am in a slump, 

all this resting and not getting as much done...

but I know if I don't rest, 

then nothing will get done or I will get sick

(the mono last year was enough for me, thanks)

or I will just stay tired.

So rest it is. Reading. Simple things.

Clean laundry is piling up. Mr. Husband is helping with dishes.

I really need to research dishwashers.

We are having the last fast-free week food...

dominos and their chicken too;

we call it mordor meat ;)

Well, at least it tastes good...

Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend!
