Reflections



This week I did not accomplish all that I set out to do.  I think I am not as motivated when the weather is hot (excuse #1).  I also became lax in my to do list making (excuse #2).  This morning, I wrote out many tasks that I want to accomplish today and in the upcoming week.  I am amazed that it's almost near the end of June!  The older I get the faster each day and week whizzes by.

In the photo, my son is sitting on his foot-hence the 2.5 feet on the ground :)  I hope you have a great weekend!!

    I so get it Karen, the days fly by and I often wonder what happened!
    I pick up the wee on tomorrow as her mom is going to be gone for a week with
    work. This will be our last full week together before they move, I hope the time drags by.:)
    Stay cool!
    PS- Ha, our pictures are similar today, I have feet in mine too!

    What a great shot! I've gotten nothing on my "list" done this week either. Could be the heat; could be the fact that my list is in my head & not written out. So I don't remember what it is I want to do when I have a few moments to do it!! :-)

    I have been unable to even write down the list. I blame it on the jet lag but the truth is that my brain is just soft right ;o)
    I better get to it.
    Have a wonderful weekend

    Yes.....we just arrived at vacation, and now it's time to pack up and go home. :( I'm betting our 12 hour car ride doesn't fly by in the same way, though!

    great shot! I know the month has just flown by hasn't it. I haven't been productive this week and I've got so much to do. My kiddos are off to summer camp next week so hopefully I'll find some time then to get my to-do list done.

    I am with you, Karen. I dislike hot weather and am having trouble staying on task. Actually writing out my tasks first would be helpful - that way I can remember what needs to be done! Hope you're blessed with a restful yet productive weekend.

    I think when it's as hot as it's been this past week lists and productivity parameters change drastically ~ much shorter lists (or none at all!) and lowered expectations! ;) Hoping for cooler temps for all and a restful weekend!

    Oh, the time surely does fly! And don't be to hard on yourself about your tasks....my list just seems to get longer...I add, but I don't seem to remove as many as I add!

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).
