Weekends


Weekends are for memory making, 
relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.  
If you would like, please share your weekend moments 
  in the comment section with a link to your blog. 




Oh this weekend, my oh my, was it good.  Today the sun is shining away and we walked twice!  Yep, the snow is melting and for my second walk, I wore my light jacket.  I've heard robins singing to each other but haven't seen one as of yet.  But knowing they are here is quite thrilling.  A few trees are just about to sprout in our neighborhood.  

While walking this afternoon, we saw an older couple sitting outside on their front steps wearing winter coats just absorbing the sun's rays.  Hello waves were exchanged and I think we communicated to each other "how nice the weather!".

After an afternoon knitting with dear friends, I'm back home facing the laundry, some reading and sinking into an evening that will stay light.  Daylight savings time is grand except for that lost hour.

Over the weekend there was:  Chinese food - homemade pizzas - much less sugar but a wee bit of chocolate - knitting - watching the "Odd Couple" (older version of course)

How was your weekend?

    The weather has been very spring like here too. The doors and windows are home, I spent time chancing an rooster around the yard and played in the dirt. Oh, and lots of knitting, but you already knew that ;)
    I'm so glad Frodo is getting to go on his walks again.

    A really good weekend here, the perfect mix between fun and getting some things accomplished. On Saturday I did the grocery shopping in the morning and in the afternoon we went for a bike ride. Today was spent mostly outside, yard cleanup, weeding, cutting back shrubs... It felt so good to be outside!!

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend Karen. I drove home on Saturday, a very long day, but so happy to be home. Today was about unpacking, catching up and settling into home again. I did get out for a walk in the beautiful sunshine this afternoon, and it was wonderful.

    Have the most wonderful week.

    A bit of a rush around here, trying to catch up with laundry, household tasks and nipping backwards and forwards to the hospital to visit Dad. At least he is on the mend.

    My glee over Daylight Savings Time was dulled a bit by the gray, gloomy rain. We've had so much lately we decided to go to the movies so we couldn't SEE it was raining! Ha! Glad you enjoyed two walks in one day! Yea! blessings ~ tanna

    Frodo is just too cute! Daylight savings time is rough over here-- no one wants to get up on time!

    I feel like a new person between changing the clocks and some warmer weather! There is no other version of the Odd Couple other than the old one, in my opinion! Glad you enjoyed your weekend.

    Frodo on watch! Our weekend was just as sunny, but perhaps, warmer. We spent time in our garden and enjoyed the extra light. I don't mind the lost hour as I love the light so much!

    We, too, had a lovely weekend filled with sunshine, family, friends, dirty hands from started projects, seeds sown, and a nice visit with my grands :) Happy Monday, Karen!

    Love that dog!
    Our weekend was sad with moments of laughter. After putting down our dear Roz Friday, it seemed a long long weekend in the house. Pie made us laugh last night. She always does. I tried to start a book, but I was too distracted. On with sunshine

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...
