    Our weekend held: one daughter away for the weekend and one daughter at home, grilling most of our food since it's still in the 90's here, a two hour "walk" on Saturday morning and hopefully another one on Monday morning, cleaning out the chicken coop, cleaning of the porch, mowing the yard, quick dips in the pool to cool off and of course knitting and reading. :-)

    Sounds just lovely Karen. Our weekend included a trip to the market, time in the kitchen putting food by, meals outside (it is still hot and humid here), embracing the early morning darkness, quiet nights reading and knitting, and the final preparations to begin our homeschooling year tomorrow.

    Wishing you a lovely week ahead. xo

    We had an amazing thunderstorm here yesterday; our drought is definitely over, but hoping for a nice day tomorrow for a picnic out back. Today was church and saying goodbye to a favorite pastor who's headed for a new church; they are lucky to have her!

    Spent most of the weekend, sorting out junk into piles for the charity shop and the tip.

    I had cake too, doesn't it make the day so much happier? :)
    I'm so sorry about the allergies Karen, we have had so much rain here I don't think
    anything is blowing in my air, but the mosquitos are pretty big.
    Enjoy your day of relaxation!

    We went to the seafront and ate seafood, then sunday was blackberry picking, home to make crumble and cupcakes, followed by Sunday roast dinner, and relaxing with Crochet.

    I harvested the last batch of green beans from the garden last night. Fall is pretty much here. Days are already so much shorter!

    This weekend I welcomed home my husband, who spent the previous week hiking 58 miles on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. He was tired and happy to be home! : ) We have been taking it easy all weekend, I don't dare suggest going for a walk for a couple of days, LOL! Have a great week, Karen!

    Our weekend was lovely. Saturday included a bit of shopping and lunch out. Sunday was spent with hubby smoking and grilling, and me knitting. Today it just a relaxing day off. :)

    Karen, sounds like a lovely weekend. I love the thought of coffee in the darkness and the light shadows. We spent a lot of time with Trevor {of course} and just time at home this weekend, which was lovely. Hope you are having a good week so far xx

    How lovely, and it looks like fall us on its way already! Hurray for more wedding cake too! I wish we had taken more of ours, but it somehow was left behind in all the chaos. It wasn't exactly the right flavors either, but that was just one of those little things that goes wrong that the guests never know, and we were too happy to care:)

    Oh thank you so much for the pattern link... I was reading it and I may actually be able to do it. May have to give it a try this winter. :-) Yours looks amazing. Lucky baby!

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
