A Simple Catholic is the story of my own pilgrimage to try get back to the basics of the Catholic faith and to live it simply and devoutly, to search and discover "what would Jesus (have me) do" in my life today? My hope is that in sharing my daily pilgrimage, with its triumphs and failures, other people will be inspired to make a brief daily retreat in an effort to grow in love and friendship with Jesus and Mary.

The Homekeeper's Journal 3/1/11
This week the Homekeeper’s Journal is about Spring Time Changes.
In My Kitchen This Week … spinach salad with red onions, pork roast and baked potatoes, ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery (a treat!). Eating more meals outside in the nice weather.
Changes I Make To My Home In Spring … repotting the houseplants, cleaning out the corners, washing and putting away the extra blankets.
Changes In My Schedule … feeding the animals earlier, before the people; staying in the workshop later; having more homeschool lessons outdoors.
Changes In My Yard/Homestead … putting in a gate to get into the chicken yard; replacing gate to goat pen; mixing up the compost pile.
What I Look Forward to This Spring … sunshine and warm days; opening the windows; lighter layers of clothing.
Spring Brings with It … pollen and sinus activity; new grass for the critters; bugs.
A Sure Sign Of Spring … juniper berries popping and making noses run and eyes itch; ruffly, lacy Easter dresses; pansies at the nursery.
A Favorite Spring Activity … taking a morning walk; dozing in the lawn chair; putting a line in the water at the lake and claiming that I'm fishing.
