Weekends



This weekend found me:

-decorating for spring and Easter which made my days cheerful
-walking every day, enjoying the outside even though it was cold
-spying snowdrops sprouting on the side of the road we travel
-having dinner with friends and viewing a theater production
-eating salads for lunch
-enjoying both kids home for the weekend with their breaks overlapping
-saying goodbye to my daughter
-facing laundry, oh the laundry-so much!!
-enjoying a happier dog with the snow melted, I'm thinking he hates winter
-helping my daughter to sign up for the bar exam, not as easy as you would think....
-avoiding my son's cold and so far so good!  (I hope that doesn't jinx me)
-knitting and relaxing

how was your weekend?

    The Bar Exam, how exciting, and maybe a little scary too.
    It's fun to decorate for the season, something I need to get to this week. We are having rain again today which makes me just want to snuggle down.
    Have a great St. Patrick's Day.

    We had a busy weekend here. Driving kids to and fro, working in the yard, cleaning house... It was a good kind of busy though and made us feel like we accomplished a few things. Seeing a bit of your spring decorations makes me want to get mine out, haven't even thought about it until you reminded me. Thank you. :-)

    What a wonderful weekend. Good luck to your daughter on the bar exam. I can't even imagine the studying for that. It was so good to feel the sun on my face Saturday. I actually got a little sunburned.

    Spring decorations - next up on my to do list. What type of law does your daughter want to do? I work for legal aid - not as a lawyer - but know lots of public interest lawyers.

    I felt like I was busy all weekend but my list doesn't look as productive as yours! I don't think I've ever seen snowdrops in person. So pretty!

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...

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).
