Out in my yard today… A sunny day, the temperature is 42.6 degrees F (according to my Oregon scientific weather gauge.) Baxter, my darling Miniature Schnauzer, is “securing the perimeter” and patrolling for squirrels. It snowed yesterday, but most of it has melted away.

I’m grateful for… kind friends who loaned us a dryer when ours died last week, hugs from my family, and rocky road ice cream.

One of my favorite things… The new book my hubby gave me last week, Organize now! A week-by-week guide to simplify your space and your life. Very practical and fun to use!

This week I’m reading… The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows- our current book club pick. I just started it yesterday 🙂

I’m looking forward to… watching Ground Hog Day tomorrow (on Ground Hog Day, of course), one of my favorite movies.

Simple life tip for the week… make a list of your top ten priorities and then honor those priorities each day. Eliminate those things that take time away from your top ten.
