Weekends


This weekend I walked daily and noticed some green in my surroundings.  Sure it's algae and moss and weeds but it's green and beautiful to behold!  Also some stray spring bulbs are blooming on the hillside, crocuses to be exact, but too far to photo.

My weekend was uneventful and yet full.  Yesterday we had homemade wings for dinner and what made them special was not sharing them with others.  Sounds silly but it was fun just the two of us digging in.  To offset the wings, we had a healthy vegetable platter.  Oh and sugar cookies :)

Today after Mass and lunch at home, we headed out for another walkabout.  Dinner is "breakfast for dinner" theme.  Eggs, asparagus and toast and if I'm lucky in my freezer search some turkey breakfast sausages. Oh and some more sugar cookies :)

There was: knitting, reading, writing, talking, laughing, playing with Frodo, list making and goal setting.

How was your weekend?

    Mmmm sugar cookies. !!! Your day sounds lovely.
    I walked 2 miles alone today and was happy for the peaceful solitude. I prefer to walk alone and so many want to walk with me. (Neighbors SHaron and Helen and Abby and Linda) I actually texted Sharon but she was too slow responding, (an hour later) and I was half done. Isn't that awful?

    Now I want a cookie!
    It's still raining here today and I am sitting here drinking a cup of tea trying to figure out how to put my skirt pattern together, three pieces and I'm stuck on the third! Casing what?!

    A good and full weekend here as well. Hannah celebrated her birthday with her friends yesterday, which means the morning was spent preparing and the afternoon, evening was spent celebrating. Today was quiet, but filled with good things. Leftover cake, knitting... :-)

    Great weekend! I like how you offset the wings with some veggies. LOL! It's so very nice to see some green here and there. I found some tulips in my back yard and wanted to do a dance.

    It is sunny here today and is supposed to be in the mid-70s! Will be out for a walk after dinner tonight with Dan. Can't wait. I'm baking bread this morning and am tempted to bake cookies. :)

    I am so glad you are catching glimpses of the green you have been craving! It's so very different here: lilac, irises, wisteria, poppies - crazy right? - co-habiting with primroses and tulips. I wish I could wind back and start all over again!

    Happy week to you and your family.

    Chicken wings are the best and not having to share them is even better! I'm happy when I get to eat my food while it's hot. Love the splashes of green as spring is slowly making it's arrival around the country.

    Your weekends and your walks always seem so amazing to me through your posts and pictures. I read this post and my hankering for asparagus, sausage, chicken wings and sugar cookies. Oh sugar cookies with that easter glass sprinkled sugar!

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...
