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.


Yesterday while slowly walking down my drive way, I spied these twin fawns!  How exciting! The closest on in the first photo was quite brave and stared me down while I inched my way closer and closer to snap a few photos.

Ah, technology is wonderful -- I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him to look out the window.  They were beautiful to watch and I wanted someone else to witness the event.


Yesterday I finished the window cleaning and mini blind replacing, in under a week. I had to take two hours of rest to recover. Just so you know, knitting was invented to encourage slowing down and resting.  I'm thrilled the window washing is over and now I can wait another 5-10 years to clean them again, ha ha ha....I'm sort of serious though.


After attending Mass this morning, I started laundry and caught up with some papers laying around.  In the afternoon, we met with friends and had a cook out enjoying the company, the food and the fresh air. 

All in all it was a great weekend!  How was yours??

    Darling little fawns. Thanks for sharing them. Personally, I think washing windows every 5 - 10 years is a great idea. I'm on board.

    I had a lovely weekend, easing into summer break and trying not to make unrealistic lists of chores!

    We had a young buck in our yard the other day when I pulled up after work. He was pigging out on my flowers but I didn't mind, plenty of daisies to share. I got a good video! I tried to show Reed but he was too drowsy to make much note.

    Oh look at those sweeties! They are beautiful.

    We had a good weekend as well, which I am happy about since I spent a good chunk of time on Friday at the dentist's office. Ick.

    In Pittsburgh, it must be a thing to get a window washer. Seriously, this amazing man comes to the house with all the necessary equipment and washes all the exterior windows. Now, the interiors are a different matter. Half clean is better than not at all, right? And, those babies are so cute!

    These are cute fawns; we don't see deer around here unless one maybe goes camping. The most wildlife we see are squirrels and these geese I don't like.

    I love to see the wildlife in my yard! Our big dog Jada is starting to allow them to come in. I think it's just too hot to get up and chase them off! :)
    What a big job you have accomplished! New blinds and all! whew! I'm tired just reading about it! ;)

    Fawns are just the sweetest!

    Our weekend was spent mostly in a coffee shop while our realtor has OPEN HOUSE! Hopefully someone liked it enough to make an offer! LOL

    Your baby deer remind me that I got a call while volunteering at the animal shelter yesterday for a fawn that wasn't getting up. The fawn's momma had stopped visiting it according to the caller for a day. I hope they got ahold of the man I knew would know how to help them. We don't get too many fawns in the suburbs back yards here.
    I also spent the weekend knitting a necklace and swimming at a friend's pool. It was the best part of the weekend.

    Our solution to window washing (& oven cleaning) is to simply move. :) The fawns are adorable! Last summer, we had a herd of deer (is 5 deer a herd?) that would come eat our front yard each afternoon. They were beautiful to watch & one of them would come right up to the porch to say hello but they were no where near as cute as those fawns.

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...
