Weekends



Gosh this weekend was a busy one.  I've got lots to share in upcoming posts.  We were in the car a lot seeing a new to us town.  We celebrated Father's day with family.  My weekend was:

-relaxing, fun and filled with laughter
-reading fiction and non-fiction
-watching two bluebirds in the back yard while eating THAT salad
-sharing good food with family 
-rain then sun then rain then sun-wonderful!
-picking up a very wiggly dog who was happy to come home from the kennel
-just being in the moment-the bestest place to be!!

How was your weekend?

    Intriguing to find out about your weekend. Your salad looks delicious...I'm trying to work out what the crunchy looking topping is made from.

    Ours was busy too, another one away but great to catch up with friends and extended family.

    Awesome salad! What is sprinkled on top? Looks divine! We had a wonderful restful weekend, with lots of time to laugh. We talked to our dads, did some shopping and cooking, and enjoyed ice cream and a movie. The best kind of weekend:)

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...
