Weekeneds


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.


A cool breeze greeted me this morning, so wonderful!  I hope cool breezes are where you are too.  This weekend has been quiet.  I walked two times yesterday and once I hit publish, I'll be heading out again.  I'm basking in that fall like air!


Friday night we went out for pizza, a new to us place that we've been to about three or four times, so now I feel like a regular.  Yesterday, I shopped around a craft store and popped into a bookstore.


Today was church (as always) and my husband made a new Indian dish but it was too spicy hot for me.  He loved it though!  My mouth is still tingly from my few bites of giving it a try.



How was your weekend?

    Our weekend was beautiful! It was a gorgeous day for a bike ride yesterday and even though we were very tired at the end of it, we had a great time. Today was spent catching up at home and getting some rest. Have a great start into the new week!

    And I am very envious of your cool weather, it has felt like the middle of summer here.
    I walked yesterday, twice, but today I took off and have just relaxed, and while it's bothering
    me a little, okay, a lot, not to meet my goal I know my body needs a day of rest. Gosh,
    this getting older is just plan hard!
    Did you find a good book?

    Low key was the theme of ours. Is there a bird or squirrel in that nest? Glad you had a lovely weekend. The Indian dish sounds yummy!

    Can you believe it is officially fall (almost)??? I love craft stores. And book stores. Almost as dangerous as yarn stores.

    Cool breezes are greeting us each day too, and we are loving it. The sun is still shining during the day, warming up our little part of the world just nicely.

    Hope you have a great week Karen.

    Sounds like a good weekend, apart from the curry! I find that I mostly like spicy things, but sometimes they are just too much! xx

Weekends

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).
