Weekending



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.


Can a weekend be delicious??  Mine certainly was.  The weather was spectacular, blue skies, warm air, truly a welcome sight.  Every window is opened and and the house has been freshened up.  Luckily my allergies are behaving and at night I fall asleep listening to the night sounds.  The older I get the more I appreciate spring.


Saturday

: farmer's market : fresh loaf of bread : country drives : pesto pasta : grilled chicken : new umbrella for the patio : getting HOT on a walk (what is that feeling?) : window washing : salads : phone calls from the kids : visiting the local park

Sunday

: Mass : Laundry : putting away wool shawls and scarves : washing wool sweaters : bare feet : washing lettuce : crossword puzzles : reading : doodling with the camera : knitting :




How was your weekend?  I'd love to hear!

**thanks to all of you who visit and comment and share your thoughts.  I love to read them and visit your spaces.  Thank you for long time readers who are now friends, and to the new readers who are soon to be friends.

    I know I should appreciate spring, but I wish it were winter. We just had a terrible storm come thru and we are still under a tornado watch until 8 tonight. Blah!
    I need to wash a few windows myself, but now I must wait until the ground dries so the ladder won't sink!
    Oh well, more time to knit;)

    Isn't it glorious to have spring?! I am loving all the sunshine we're getting spoiled with. I bought seeds, too, and am dreaming about the lovely flowers I'm going to be able to grow. Have a wonderful week!!

    Hurrah for spring! We had 2 sunny days in a row, too. Spent part of yesterday with the GK and today we sang at 2 services and then did lots of yard work.

    Yay for spring. We enjoyed the same weather Karen, and it was perfect for all the yard work we had to do, although we did squeeze in two short hikes. You are brave washing and putting away the woolens...if it snows I blame you :)

    Have a lovely start to your week my friend. xo

    We've been sleeping with the windows open for the first time this year also...The only downside is the new rooster that lives down the street...Hmmm. I just might need to knit him a beak cover. That's a thing, right?

    Your weekend sounds as if it was glorious! We had a beautiful weekend as well. Worked around the house, took Popeye for a nice long hike (and yes, I got hot!), hamburgers on the grill for dinner. Just perfect! Sunday was dinner at Mom's and a little shopping. I always look forward to hearing about your weekends, Karen! xx

    The weather was beautiful here too. Saturday sounded lovely because there was pesto pasta, my favorite. Any day with pasta is the best! :)

    We had a lovely weekend. Unfortunately today is really cold and windy again. It's supposed to go down to the 30s overnight. Spring will come!

    Our week-end (especially Sunday) was glorious : Sun shining, warmth, kids playing with friends, yard and garden work, sunscreen! We even put up the trampoline... you can imagine the hours of fun. We are getting nothing but rain this week, but it's okay. I can see a green halo starting to form everywhere, swallowing the brown and yellows. The rain is needed. So we are grateful for it.

    Hope your week is a wonderful one!

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).
