Weekends


This weekend contained:

-Frodo finding a snake eating a toad.  Hubbie took thousands of photos of the event (without Frodo of course, the snake was angry to have a dog sniffing him during his meal).  I thought it was a little too graphic and violent to watch :)
-tropical storm Lee flooding our town. Many have lost power and water.  Many have first floor flooding.
-thankfulness that we live on a hill and have a private water well (and electricity!)
-unexpected friends over for dinner Friday night.  Our friends were lucky just to lose water supply.  They came over for dinner and showers and washing dishes.  It was nice to be helping someone.
-homemade pizzas with red peppers and mushrooms-YUM!
-chats with both kids who are happy where they go to school.
-A little road trip to through the countryside.  Peaceful and relaxing.
-reading and knitting.

How was your weekend?

    Karen, I am so glad you are not having the damage I am seeing on the Weather Channel.
    How sad for so many people.
    Glad the children are happy at school, that helps for the parents at home!xx

    It sounds like a beautiful weekend despite the storm. Oh and without the snake eating the toad part... eehw. ;)

    Blessings, Debbie

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).
