Weekends


This weekend was filled with:

-lots and lots of walking, the weather is beautiful and the scenery lovely!
-seeing pink sunrises (without a camera)
-seeing the moon and stars on clear nights (without a camera)
-contemplating running for a camera and just giving in to enjoying the moment
-spotting the BIGGEST pigeon ever!  It looked like a chicken!
-finishing knitting stocking ornaments (phew!)
-eating dill pickles, yum.
-finalizing who is picking up which kid this week and when

    I am so glad to hear you are having some beautiful weather, it's about time for y'all to catch a break. I am thankful for the rain today, we have been so dry and I worry about the water table [I have a well for water].
    I love, love dill pickles and have been putting them in my salads, so good.

    I frequently don't have my camera. Or I have my phone, but the camera isn't on. And it's usually when C is doing something funny or cute. Then I can't get her to do it again!

    all the walking sounds good. as does seeing all the natural beauty around you without a camera in hand. sometimes, you just need to unplug.

    enjoy your kids!!!

    I love the empty handed walks....sometimes it hurts when I see a beautiful moment I want to capture in film and I don't have my camera, but to be able to fill the space with just the moment in hand is a beautiful lesson in letting go. XO

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).
