Weekends

 


My sister and brother in law were here this weekend to help us move furniture out to our garage for a donation pick up. They also helped with some packing. We had a nice visit and we were grateful for the much needed help.  

During the visit, my sister and I headed out to some local greenhouses for an impromptu sister outing. It was even though it was the last sister outing in this area. I will miss living here.

The weekend was HOT compared to the previous frigid weekend (I wore wool!). As you know, I prefer cold weather over hot weather any given day so I am pretending the summer humidity and high temps do not exist. 

Frodo is loving life and just saved a mole swimming vigorously in the pool this morning.  Holly is enjoying how her environment changes with stacked boxes and new hiding places.

How was your weekend?

    Sounds like a busy weekend in spite of the heat (which was really wicked this weekend). Love both pictures of you - especially the one with your husband. You two are so cute!!

    So glad you were able to get together with your sister. I hope your new home is close enough that you will be able to visit often. Sweet pictures of you and your husband and you and your sister. Have a good week.

    We went too quickly from cold to hot without any warm in the middle. It was a shock to the system.
    It's great you got to see your sister.

    How fun to have your sister some to help AND to get a sister date. I am so inspired by your moving house plans.

    What Juliann said! although I imagine it must've been really hard to visit a greenhouse and not be able to bring anything "home" ... so excited to follow along with y'all on this move!

    Well, the weekend was steamy and humid . We people watched a bit, and I knit at the lakefront. The kids were all unabashedly jumping off the two big people piers into the 59 degree water. I am sorry you don't like this weather, but does it help that i DO!?????? I Love it. It refreshes my soul.

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).
