    I am so glad you are able to get out in the fresh air and have enough light for your walks. I have been trying to take my walks in the morning before I am too tired.:)
    Have a great weekend Karen.

    Good for you!! I need to dust off my shoes. ;)
    It's so nice to enjoy the weather and have time to ourselves. I hope you have a lovely weekend, Karen!

    I'm ready to start my walks as well. I'm waiting for it to get just a little warmer (really because I'm lazy and using the chilly temps as an excuse!)

    Enjoy your walks. Must be starting to feel a little warmer in your part of the world. Things are really starting to cool off here. We spend a week in sunshine on holidays and it was a rude shock to come home to cold weather. The season has turned for sure. Have a lovely weekend. Jacinta

    My walks tend to be slower than my liking... and involve both pushing and pulling small people along ;-) I should try to get out on my own more often (but I'm so tired after keeping up with those small people and that makes me lazy.)
    Happy weekend!

    My midwife suggested one mile walks daily--it is a good thing!

    I used to take the dogs for a 2 mile walk just about daily. That was before the munchkin. Now, not so much.
    Have a great weekend.

    Enjoy your walk...as I sit here in my computer-potato mode...actually, I need to begin doing this as a regular routine. So hard.

    Enjoy your walking, Karen! I haven't walked this week at all (other than the usual) and I miss it. You're motivating me to get back into the swing of things!

    Yes! Walks! I have just gotten a new bike and I am looking forward to more bike rides. What kind of shoes are those-looking to ditch my old cheapos since they never felt right. Lesson learned.

    Good job! I love taking walks - most definitely my favorite form of exercise. (The merry-go-round was spinning in my picture, but not too fast at that point. I had a slight stomach ache from watching them all that time....really!)

    Good for you! I've been doing a daily walk for about four weeks now and my life is markedly better because of it. Have a great weekend!

Weekends

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).
