Weekends





This weekend was filled with:

-shopping again for the other child
-daily walks on the dirt road, enjoying the signs of spring
-making lists for me
-making lists for my son-"stuff" he needs to get done once back on campus
-bringing out my spring decorations.  (love my mom's salt and pepper chick set!)
-a new banner because Laura Emily mentioned it would indicate spring :)
-saying goodbye to two back to back spring breaks. I had fun but let's bring one the mundane
-almost finishing my book
-windows opened and fresh air pouring in

How was your weekend?

    I like the new banner. I changed mine a few weeks ago. In the desert if you blink, you will miss spring. The seasonal changes are oh so subtle.

    The shakers are just perfect for spring Karen!
    We have been having some terrible storms here in
    the afternoon so I have been walking in the mud!
    At least they are cooling down this hot temps.
    Love the new banner, it's very pretty.

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!

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).
