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.


Good morning!  How was your weekend?  Full of snow perhaps?  Mine was delightfully snow filled and a big old fashioned nor'easter is heading our way.   I am not ready.  Usually everyone in my town shops for milk, eggs and bread.  I need to get going on that!


On Saturday morning, our son headed back to his apartment and I did the mad dash of cleaning the house for phase two of family visitors.  We attended Saturday night Mass and had a quick 'get your own' dinner once home.


Sunday morning was lots of laundry and making sushi (yum) for a packed dinner for my husband who drove to the airport to pick up our daughter!  They arrived around nine p.m.

I witnessed some incredible sunrises over the weekend and I wish I could capture the beauty as I see it.  The deer have been huddled on the wood's edge and maybe I'll get a photo of them as well!

In other news, I'm working from a new laptop and I'm loving it so far.  The learning curve is not as big as I thought it would be.


How was your weekend?

    You did have a full weekend of wonderful visitors! Hope you get your storm supply groceries without too much craziness at the grocery store. I'm thinking we don't really need a huge storm to remind your daughter what east coast snow is like, do we? I'm glad you'll at least be snowed in with good company. :-)

    You have a lovely view. I'm glad you are getting to spend some time with the kids. It sounds like it's going to be quite the storm for all of us tomorrow!

    Your snow and sun light photos are just beautiful. We too have snow, but only a few inches. I love your phase on and two of guests! Hope you have fun with your daughter. I spied some nice yarn on that table, lady!

    Your photos are beautiful--I love that last pic of the sunrise. I'm so glad your daughter has come for a visit--and just in time to snuggle in for a snowstorm! Does she knit? I see new yarn on your coffee table. :)

    Have a wonderful time with your daughter! My daughter visited us this weekend. She and I went to see The Sound of Music at a theater in Waterbury, it was wonderful. We spent a lot of time just catching up. The weekend went by too quickly! Hope you were able to stock up for the blizzard! I am all set and can hardly wait for the snow to begin.

    snow and a daughter visiting sounds delightful. (especially if there is milk in the fridge and coffee/tea and wine in the pantry) - hope it all worked out wonderfully for you!

    Is it still snowing? We spent the weekend finally doing laundry after the water heater was replace on Saturday afternoon. (We had a very wet welcome home: rain and a broken water heater) Also visited the GK and sang on Sunday. Loved your photos as always!

    Once you get familiar with your laptop, you won't know how you survived without it. I'd never go back to a laptop.
    Enjoy your time with your daughter. And I hope you don't get too much snow!

    Enjoy that new computer! Mine is so slow and it drives me bonkers. I guess it beats smoke signals.

    How many snow men have you built so far today???

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...
