This weekend contained:

-a cool down in the temperature
-lots of rain!  We will all need some little canoes around here pretty soon.
-a weekend getaway with my sister and brother in law.
-a cabin in the woods in western PA (photos tomorrow hopefully!).
-being "unplugged" from the world in a sense, the phone reception was terrible.
-good food and lots of laughter.
-a mini hike before the rain let loose on the weekend.
-lots of talking about renting a cabin in the woods again next year.
-smores on the fire......very sticky but still good to eat.
-knitting with my sister :)  the BEST knitting buddy ever.
-seeing snow on the way home on the interstate "the highest point east of the Mississippi"....and yes it was sticking to the grass......it was early morning and the outside temperature was 34 degrees.

    I just bet we were roasting marshmellows at the same time! You are 34 this morning?! Wow! We are 55 so that is nice for here. How nice to have a knitting buddy. I really wish I knew someone here who knits; I tried to teach my daughter,but she's not interested.xx
    PS- Thank you for the podcasts. I put some on my ipod and they are fun to listen to while I run.

    I absolutely love that shot! Moss is one of my favorites. Yeah we are needing canoes here too. We are at least 18 inches over average for rain this month. Eep.

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!

  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).
