Weekends



My Weekend contained:

walks on the dirt road
phone calls from the kids


an afternoon of painting
and some photography
enjoying the brilliant sunshine and warm weather
lots of reading
and knitting


a gigantic deep clean of the bedroom
moving furniture dusting and vacuuming 
(and I am sore from head to toe)


putting together the back yard swing
and the patio umbrella
baking another loaf of banana bread


How was your weekend?

    Wow a big cleaning job, on the weekend!!! YOu are super motivated!!!!

    Nothing much here, other than a lovely from-the-front-of-the-garage chat with our two sons. One lives next door, and the other, still goes _in_ grocery stores on the weekend, and get us some "only inside, and only that store" items. The family chat, was an extra bonus. -smile-

    Of course, we "put the world to rights" during this!!!!! -smile-

    Lovely weather, but our warmth has now fled for a while. Such is weather!

    I was impressed with your painting, very good. Phone calls and listening to church services and a little reminiscing kept us busy. Take care and stay safe.

    Sounds like a very busy and productive weekend! Saturday was 100% lazy day for me and it was most excellent! My husband was home for once and we got to be lazy together. Sunday was spent running errands so not quite as much fun, but we ran them together which was a nice change in pace. We don't get to spend much time together these days so it was wonderful to spend three whole days together.

    Your painting is just so great!!! A family member was not feeling very well, so we spent a lot of time on the phone being supportive. The weather here was 70s and the best sunny warm days yet. Fireman got a 20 miler bike ride in. We finally got sit on our back porch

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).
