Weekends


This weekend has been relaxing and calm.  Even Frodo looks like he is taking time to smell the lilies. 

My weekend included:

-tons of reading
-finishing the washcloths as a knitting palate cleanser, gearing up for a new cast on.
-time spent with my family, lots of talking, eating good food and being together
-because I'm with my family, the photos are minimal.  I tend to be in the moment when we are all together
-sunshine and summery weather (finally)
-loving life


How was your weekend?

    Your weekend sounds wonderful! Mine was great too, though I am a bit envious of the family part of yours ;-)

    The weekend was fun. Fireman and I went to a scooter festival in town. Lots to do in a tourist town in the warm months. Zach joined us yesterday, and is staying for a bit! Weekend highlight: watching the Cubs with my guys

    Sounds like a lovely weekend Karen. I managed to do some of what I had hoped to do, and there was knitting - minimal, but knitting!

    It was a wonderful weekend! And, it looks like you spent some time with one of my very favorite books - A Gentleman in Moscow!

    My weekend was spent doing a few chores and sitting in the warm sunshine, though it was a bit windy too. It rained a bit too, so very strange. I've read my book and that's about it. Love the photo of Frodo sniffing the Lilies, Cx

    I attended a baby shower for my niece, took a walk after rain cleared late Sunday morning. Some knitting - some FaceTime with the grands. Life is good.

    Our weekend was good. Last week included time with our son and his family from Maine! Friday evening we all went out to a restaurant they enjoy when they come here. Saturday morning they left around 6:00 and I started doing some cleaning. Sunday was church, morning and evening. We had two beautiful days Saturday and Sunday...no rain! Your weekend sounds lovely!

    A Gentleman in Moscow is showing up in so many book stacks. I tried to read it about a year ago. Maybe I need to try again.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend. I like those washcloths. What kind of yarn is that?

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 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).
