It is such a mild day outside. Right now it is 71 degrees. The mercury probably won't rise any higher today, but it is so nice. We opened the windows to allow the soft gentle breeze to flow in and let the stale winter air blow out. As I sit on the sofa, I can hear the birds chirp and the bamboo chimes clink.
It makes me want to go plant my vegetable seeds right now and to remove the dehydrated vegetation from the flowerbeds, but I know it's not time yet. So I'm enjoying the sounds and stillness. I don't even want to turn on the television, I don't want the intrusion of the stillness. I love days like these. I am thankful I don't have any errands to run and I can read, surf the net and enjoy the beautiful day. I am sure we will have winter weather again in a few days, so I am soaking all of this in. The dogs are enjoying the children running and playing outside with them.
This morning I created a few items I hope will aid in organization and will be great time savers to me. First I created a master list for shopping at Sam's Club. I listed all those items I buy from there (dog food, sour cream, grapes, etc.). Then I made one for the grocery store I normally shop at. I arranged the list by dairy, fruit, vegetables, canned goods, and so on. I left blank spaces on each of the pages so I can add those things I may want to add, such as shrimp which I don't buy every time. I will mark out those things I do not need so only those things I need to buy will be left on the page. I also need to make one for the health food store which will include our gluten free items. I also made a menu form which has spaces for breakfast, lunch, supper and a snack. It is a two week menu list. I have used other menus I have found on the web, I have made my own forms and have even made two month menus on a piece of notebook paper. Hopefully this menu form will prove effective for our family. Now I'm off to make my menu plans and grocery lists.
