Weekends


This past weekend was full.  Saturday I was busy getting together a dinner for my daughter and her boyfriend.  Desert making, salad tossing and yes chicken grilling outside!  Truly a sign of the weather changing.  We still have snow on the ground but it's melting quickly.

Also there was:

-walking every single day with the sun shining
-taking a photo of a mama deer early in the morning who was quite stubborn and refused to run
-watching the mama deer stomp her front hoof to scare me off
-church going
-lots and lots of knitting
-more All Creatures Great and Small viewing
-meeting friends for knitting-laughing, supporting one another, a good time
-writing lists for the week, so much to do!!

how was your weekend?

    It sounds like you had a lovely weekend with family and friends. I like the picture of the mama deer, they are interesting creatures especially when living besides humans so closely.

    Look at that, your snow is almost gone. I know you are sad to see it go, but I am soooo ready for some nice spring weather. Enjoy your time with your daughter!

    Hooray for spring right? I would rather it was still winter, but there is no stopping the turning of seasons.
    Enjoy your time with your daughter and I will with Emerson.

    That stomping is intimidating to me!
    The weekend was too busy. Worked a day shift saturday after a colonoscopy friday and then went out sat night…volunteered Sunday. This is what I was missing when I worked weekends!

    Sounds like a great weekend. Our snow is mostly melted away. Most of my weekend focused on spinning.

    Yay for kids being back home! Didn't the sunshine feel great? Love the mama deer. They are pretty brave sometimes I must say.

    We had a brief warm up, but snow is expected again later this week. Hopefully a light coat of white will cover the yard, it looks so bad this time of the year.

    We have had many deer roaming our property lately; one time, a few years ago, a doe birthed her fawn down below our chicken run which made my top ten of all time coolest things I've ever seen (the fawn, not the birthing... ha!). It is sunny here today, so a walking we will go. :)

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!

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 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).
