Weekends

 


Good morning! How was your weekend? 

I had yet again another restful weekend. I'm enjoying the stillness and the nothingness in my weekend schedule. Each weekend that comes and goes without stress helps me to recover from the Move. We had family over for dinner Saturday night then my sister and I watercolored for an hour or so together. 


Yesterday we celebrated 34 years of marriage! We didn't do anything super exciting, just went to Home Depot (I know it was a little dull but we did go out earlier in the week for a lunch out for our pre-game celebrations).

I'm thinking about what I want to do in September and am seriously contemplating a daily haiku. I know this month is a beautiful transition month into Autumn. I'll let you know if I decide to do it. 

How was your weekend?

    Happy Anniversary and I hope you enjoy many more happy and healthy years together! Your notebook looks like it's getting ready for a daily haiku.

    Happy anniversary. I have been playing at haiku this year and it still feels awkward but it is teaching me a few things too. Enjoy this transition time.

    Happy Happy Anniversary! Sometimes the best celebrations are the quiet ordinary ones. We had a lovely quiet weekend. The best thing was that we got a little rain late Saturday and early Sunday with a slight cool down. Late Sunday afternoon, my husband and I went for a little stroll around a beautiful city garden, "The Sunken Garden." That is as exciting as we get and I'm good with that.

    Happy 34! Years. I like the idea of Haiku in September, too…seems like a good thing to notice and express throughout the month!
    Cheers~

    It's wonderful to read how settled you are becoming. I am thinking of doing a daily haiku as well for September. I haven't stretched my creative muscles in a while!

    Happy anniversary 🍾 you gorgeous couple. Glad you're catching up on rest. I do that sometimes as it can be hard to sleep at night when it's hot here.

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).
