    Your salad looks yummy and so glad to hear your hand aches are resolved! My weekend was not as planned, but it was a good one anyway.

    I love getting the chores done early on the weekend. Delicious looking salad. You will have to tell us all how you like that book. We are inundated with LOTS of snow this morning, but the weekend was nice. Have a good week.

    Your salad does look so yummy! My list is long today as well and will probably spill over to Tuesday (but that is okay!)

    That salad looks very appetising! I'm glad your hands are better. I'm always reading along here, but have been unable to comment for so long :( I type a comment and it disappears into the ether! I wondered today if it might be an issue with my phone, so I'm trying with the laptop. Here goes........

    it looks like your 2020 reading is off to a great start! ditto the knitting. and I love seeing Frodo in the snow(flakes) ... Holly is completely a Southern Belle and would never want actual flakes to touch her fur ;-)

    Sounds lovely...

    Ours was quiet, per usual.

    He watched Super Bowl next door with son and family. And then at home, from second half on. Happily we both missed the _Weird_ _Mess_, which is known as Super Bowl Halftime Show. -head desk-

    A quiet weekend spent reading and tending my back. I did manage to knit a few rows of easy garter stitch Sunday evening without too much trouble so that is progress. We had a taste of Spring - mid 50's on Sat and 60 on Sunday. I took a short walk. I read Kindred ages ago. I can't remember too much about it except that I did enjoy it.

    My system loves it when I eat salads. Kindred looks like a good read.

    So glad that your hand issues seem to have resolved. We are mired in a week of clouds and rain here, but no snow. I am not sure if I am happy about that or not. I love the color of your knitting and that book looks interesting. The salad looks delicious too.

    Well, as you may have read, I mixed up the dates of our SnowSculpture walk with our friends. It worked out anyhow! Im so happy your hands are better! When I swam today, I felt like I didn't have to worry about a workout that would hurt my hands.

    So glad you had a great weekend!
    Mine was on and off. I was sick on Friday and really tired on Saturday, but it was our daughter's last weekend here, so I tried to make the most of it. And on Sunday we were invited to watch Superbowl with some American friends, which was quite the experience for us ;-)

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).
