Weekends


My weekend was filled with:

-dinner out with my husband on Friday night
-lots of knitting
-and reading
-and finishing a book!
-listening to the cicadas while swinging
-puzzling over what animal is breaking off all the liatris (in photo)
-assuming it's the rabbits-Frodo's mortal enemies
-my husband bringing in EVERY flower that is broken
-cloudy skies and very little drizzle-wishing it would just pour down
-homemade pizzas 


How was your weekend?

    Your weekend sounds lovely! If you want rain you should come visit me today. :) It's a perfect day for lounging around home, snuggling as much as possible.

    Congrats on the finish! I have that pattern somewhere..... Your liatris is light years ahead of ours; our garden book calls it "gay feather" w ich seems like a perfect name. Great photo of the praying mantis! Just got home from a reunion of fellow workmates in adult literacy...very fun.

    sweet weekend, friend!
    Hope your upcoming week holds the same relaxation (though perhaps fewer broken flowers....they do look pretty in a vase though!)

    Sounds like a lovely, relaxing weekend. The cicadas are out in full force, aren't they! Some nights it's hard to sleep with all the buzzing!

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).
