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.


Much to my delight and surprise, my husband asked me on Saturday morning if I'd like to go see the ice sculptures on display in Lewisburg, Pa.  If you know me at all, you know I said "yes, please".

I'm married to a summer lover who barely tolerates this season, so walking about in 20 degree weather was extra special.  He is the better person because he didn't complain but if it was 90 degrees outside I would have been muttering and grumbling.

My photos aren't that great because I was too cold to use the display screen and just did point and shoot through the view finder (cheating!).  I'm okay with that.  Any photos are better than none.


We walked up and down the main street, had a few slices of pizza for lunch and then returned to a warm car with heated seats (the greatest invention ever).  We had fun.


Yesterday we watched the Super Bowl with friends, ate lots of good food - so good that today is a salad day to recover!


How was your weekend?

    That sounds/looks like fun! I've never been to an ice sculpture festival, but I think I'd like it.

    An interesting and original weekend! I love your photos, especially because that sunshine makes it look deceptively warmer than 20 degrees. What a lovely and thoughtful gesture from your husband!

    I have never been to an ice sculpture festival before, sounds like fun but like your husband I would rather have a little heat.

    Ha! Heated seats rank with rolling luggage as far as I'm concerned. What a sweet treat from your hubby. Sounds like a great weekend.

    I'd say he must love you very much! ;) Yes, heated seats are the ONE requirement I have for a vehicle. I've told Evan I don't care if I have to push it along like Fred Flintstone, I NEED seat heaters. LOL! Down here, it's not bad to have AC seats either. ;) Beautiful ice! blessings ~ tanna

    Those ice sculptures are amazing. What hard work that must be. And thank you about my possum socky socks. Dare to be different as Fido Dido once said. I like the idea of a swirling stripe because it shows movement to the eye and energy.

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).
