Weekends


This weekend contained:

-a lovely dinner evening out with my husband at a local new restaurant.  We had been dragging our feet to try it and now I wonder why because it was fantastic!

-attending a local craft fair that had entirely too many people for my comfort level.  I could not see any of the items for sale due to people being in my way.  The above photo was a clear shot of the apples for the cider stand.  No one was in my way for this photo ;)

-eating funnel cake and enjoying every single bite while knowing it is void of any nutritional value.

-a realization that a hike through the state park would have been much more relaxing for me. My husband was right and I was wrong....shhhh.....do not tell him I said that!!

-going to church then having lunch at home.  I met a friend for knitting and shooting the breeze with while my husband cooked dinner (I love not cooking!).  He made a curry that was just spicy enough for my bland tastes.

-walking on our dirt road with Frodo taking in the sights and sounds of autumn.

    I understand the feeling about the crowds since I don't handle them well myself!
    I think walking on dirt roads is the best and having a husband who cooks is even better. I would love to taste your husband's curry and you could taste my husband's chocolate chip cookies! xx

    Sounds like a good weekend, apart from the crowds part (I hate crowds too). Great picture of the apples :)

    i love your weekend and do agree about the crowds and hiking. i avoid crowds at any cost, but my sister and i braved the festival that came to our town this weekend too, mostly in memory of our mom, she loved the avocado festival so much. it was strangly mellow though, or maybe it was just us.
    love all those apples. :)

    Sounds all in all like a good weekend! Was it as warm at the fair you went to as it was at the one I was at? We got sunburned!

    I love that ..."I was wrong." Remember the Fonz? On Happy Days, when he was wrong, he always stammered his apology... I'm with you - I don't like crowds. At least you had another lovely weekend with your husband!

    now THAT is a truckload of apples!
    Glad you got a nice night out. It's hard to take the time sometimes. And you got knitting in! Always a good thing! AND, enjoying food with no nutritional value MUST be done from time to time. It feeds the heart.

    Holey Moley look at all those apples. It sounds like we have the same low tolerance for crowds. I swear I end of skipping a lot of stuff for that reason alone.

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).
