Seven (days) Of Skirts, Day 5

I am very happy that everyone seems to be enjoying the SOS project! I have loved doing it and am definitely planning on hosting another one this Autumn so that more of my friends can join along! :)

Today was quiet and peaceful (not boring in the least) and I got caught up on the laundry and made lunch for myself and my brothers, as my parents went up to a business appointment together and spent some time at the library and ate a packed lunch. Us kids stayed home by ourselves and "held down the fort"! :) We were all together again for dinner for a delicious meal of barbequed roast beef with curly zesty fries! Nummy. :)

Day 5:

Skirt: Thrifted! No idea where it originally came from.
Shirt: Yard Sale, years ago.
Shoes: Faded Glory (Wal-Mart)
Hair: Headband

Meet Jane, everybody! She's my favorite little hen, and named both after my favorite authoress Jane Austen and for the sweet-tempered Jane Bennet. For this little chicken is the sweetest of all, and golden, to boot! We liked her so much that next time we ordered chickens we got Buff Orphingtons just like her. Now we have about 26 of them (counting Jane). :)

And here's a picture of just the outfit so you won't be distracted by the cute little chicken. Never work with children or animals, they steal all the limelight. *wink* ;)

This is my favorite denim skirt, by the way! You can't really see in the picture but it has the most beauuuutiful flare at the bottom. Oh! I love it. :D

Jane is such a patient little dear.

 (This isn't the most flattering picture ever of me, but it was such a cute one of Jane that it had to go in the blog post!) I'm reading an EXCELLENT book, by the way! Mama found it today at the library. (not our local library, a different, more modern branch).

It's called "Before the Season Ends" (by Linore Rose Burkard) and it's set in Regency England and it's Inspirational Christian Romance! *swoon* ;)

I'm not even half through the book and I'm already singing it's praises - very rare for me!

(I do not recommend reading lots of romance books. But the occasional one is like the occasional candy bar for me. Especially if it's sweet and not too strong in the romance department... there has to be more to the story than just the romance, for me.)

So. Me. I didn't even wear a pair of the earrings I made today, just my plain ol' cubic zirconia earstuds that I always wear.

Can you see my (fading, because of much application of lotion) sunburn? How about the dark circles under my eyes from our tiring day yesterday?  :D I don't have a perfect face... but I'm happy with it! :D I like the way the Lord made me and I am (at last) perfectly happy with the skin I'm in! :)

And now, I must beg leave to return to my book.

Have a lovely evening and tune in tomorrow (Friday) For day 6 of the SOS project!
