Weekends


Do you see him?  He has no fear!  I am a mere three feet away as I took the photo.  An hour later he went off into the woods.  The squirrel on the left is not real, just in case you think the animals are living harmoniously together where I live.

Yesterday we found a wild baby bunny nest, my son counted five!!  Today, sadly one was caught by Frodo-not sure if he'll make it but we are hoping for a miracle.  Why do these animals insist on entering the fenced in back yard-home of my mighty warrior hunter??

My weekend was:

-relaxing with knitting (what else?) 
-some podcast listening
-reading and doing puzzles
-purchasing a new journal book and nifty pen to go with it
-outings with my son who will be leaving in one week
-welcoming home my husband who was away at a conference
-eating yummy tossed salads

How was your weekend?

    I do see him and he looks very relaxed in your garden :) I picked up a new journal this weekend too, not that I needed it, but I know I will use it one day.

    Enjoy the week with your son before he heads off.

    What a sweet looking bunny! Mowgli hasn't discovered bunnies yet. I'm afraid for them when he does... He runs so darn fast they won't stand much of a chance in our yard. Sounds like you had a nice and relaxing weekend.

    Brazen bunnies! Sound like the deer at my parents' house. But although I have seen a neighborhood cat stalking one they have yet to catch one.
    Sounds like a lovely weekend! Here was not quite so peaceful but so it is with littles and off-and-on rain showers. But the week is off to a lovely start :)

    So cute! I remember the thrill of seeing a bunny when I was a child in my very urban environment. I hope the little guy made it!

    at first i thought the squirrel was real ;-) took me a few minutes to find the bunny. i'm sure it would've taken frodo one second to zero in on the bunny. clearly frodo can teach me a few things!

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...

  Good morning! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
