Weekends


Well will you look at that.....it has snowed once again.  Unpredicted by the experts!  Rain forecast quickly turned into a sleet forecast followed by snow, accumulating snow.  All happening in a span of an afternoon and evening.

My weekend was quiet and relaxing.  We ate through the week's left overs so I did not cook one meal-always a plus when you are just a couple.

There was:

-reading-books and online articles
-no walks because of the rainy (ahem and snowy) weather
-knitting with friends and catching up
-finishing two journals and cracking open new ones-heavenly!!
-daydreaming of projects to be.....still mulling over the possibilities



How was your weekend?

    Snow!!!! My rain from Friday night must be your snow. Can I admit to being a wee bit envious?

    I have a long list of projects for knitting, the home and the garden that I want to complete, but I have a feeling if I can just complete half that will be an accomplishment.

    snow??!! Yikes! I had a fire in the fireplace one day, but thankfully no snow (which usually means ice in our neck of the woods)---i think that part of winter is over here. We actually now have daffodils blooming! (of course, this means---YARDWORK. I think that's why I love winter so much!!!!)

    We had a lot of rain on Saturday, but luckily it did not turn into snow. It was a very windy and chilly day, and after being in the yard for several hours I was chilled to the bone. Yesterday was much better and the time outside was very enjoyable.

    We had torrential rain, then sleet, then hail and then great big snowflakes. Woke up to a layer of slush - but sunny skies and warmer temps!

    Just rain here, but the sun's out now, thanks goodness, which should help the search efforts up north. Our weekend was good; got our grandparent "fix" and then sang in a choir concert yesterday afternoon that was quite well attended.

    More snow! It's the winter that just won't quit! Glad you enjoyed the weekend, though:) Ours was lovely, mostly spent working on projects at home, though we did go out for dinner. Trying to make the most of the opportunity!

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...

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).
