1. Reading! I just read this book after watching an interview of the author. It was a quick read and it really challenged me to think about how I am called to love people- speaking truth with grace. Some other books on my "To read" list this summer:
- And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
- Glimpses of Grace by Gloria Furman
- Letters to My Daughters by Paul Friesen
- The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer
Any other recommendations would be appreciated! :)
2. Mornings outside. Summer is definitely here to stay so that means I'd rather not be outside in the heat of the afternoon unless I'm beside or in a body of water. My goal is to keep getting up fairly early so that I can run and work in the garden. (The squash and zucchini are doing really well! I guess there aren't any city animals that will wreak havoc on those- at least not yet.) We did see a raccoon in our back yard a couple of weeks ago, but haven't seen him since.
3. More time to cook. I'm hoping I'll be ambitious this summer and try some new recipes. I found one for stuffed bell peppers last week and it was amazing! (I didn't have enough peppers to stuff so I just took the "stuffing" for lunch one day.)
4. Lunch dates. For any of you who have lunch breaks or also have the summer off, I'd love to hang out! :)
Please add "A Little Salty to Cut to the Sweet" to your reading list! I'm reading it now and love it! :) It has some good southern recipes in it too;)
