Whether the Weather Weekend


This weekend was a snowy weekend.  I was in my happy place!  Saturday I awoke to snow and in the morning, Frodo and I captured the beauty of the day.  The weather people predicted cold but really it wasn't cold like before.


We puttered about at home, in the afternoon we had a drive and my husband did a bit of record shopping.  I patiently patiently tried to not be bored out of my mind.  I didn't whine once.  I did have the option to go to a yarn store, but see, I'm in the "don't spend money unnecessarily" mood.  Every January I get like that.


Sunday was church and unexpected snow flurries, well unexpected to me. I caught up on the chores--laundry, cleaning, shredding papers (phew).  I listened to a few podcasts while knitting, then unfortunately I found a mistake and had to unknit two rows.  Knitting is more fun than unknitting.  But I'm glad I found the mistake!!


This morning I'm dreaming of blueberry muffins that are about to be baked-yum!

how was your weekend?

    Such beautiful pictures. I often wish we had an occasional snowy day but not so in our part of Arizona. Fresh fallen snow makes the world look so clean and pure. Those muffins sound great. Have a wonderful week.

    We are getting some of that white stuff tomorrow night. I wouldn't mind it so much if it weren't going to be crazy cold. I had a wonderful weekend away with my fiber friends and can't wait to do it again!

    I *love* your photos! You weekend sounds a lot like mine! We had snow, went record shopping (my son collects old records, and I then I did some knitting and un-knitting. : )

    Yay, you got some snow, enjoy! I agree knitting is way more fun than unknitting :)

    I hate unknitting! Most of the time I don't do it knowing that I'm the only one who will know where the mistake is.

    Your post title is almost a tongue twister. I've never been in the snow.. your photos look glorious but I dont really like the cold. I imagine that once in my life time i will experience snow but will wait and see... in the meantime I can live vicariously through the lense of others!

    After that polar vortex, even 20˚ feels positively balmy... although Bebe doesn't think so. She's in and out in a flash these days. Your photos are beautiful. They really capture the essence of deep mid-winter.

    Your snowy images are so perfect. I love the newly fallen snow that came yesterday/last night. SO fresh. My weekend was indoors and wonderful. I did make it out once very early in the a.m. and the light was beautiful but I didn t take pictures...

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...
