Weekends

 


How was your weekend? I had a fabulous one. Nothing much happened and I guess that is what I like most of all, nothing happening. I did a lot of knitting and a  lot of reading.

Friday evening we went over to my sister and brother in law's house for dinner. After dessert and a quick board game, she gave me a tour of her beautiful garden where I captured some pretty photos.

Saturday was all the knitting and reading and then back to knitting, so so so good!!



Sunday we went to church and I did a bazillion household chores. (I'd rather be knitting or reading!).
I tried a new shampoo and my hair is all over the place. I can't decide if it's a win or fail. 

While I was walking Frodo around the house, I spied this maple leaf wishing me good things to come. I don't care how hot it gets or how humid (and it is humid = hair all over the place) I know and you know that FALL is coming and there are signs of it's arrival. That is all I need.

    This humidity is just crazy (as is my hair! lol) I am hoping it lessens this week with our cooler temps!

    Is that milkweed? Maybe there are some happy Monarch caterpillars? Yes, church is always wonderful.

    I do love a beautiful red maple leaf. Your sister's flowers are very pretty. We also had a quiet weekend and it was lovely.

    I am also looking forward to fall. Our temperatures have already started to drop - the leaves will start to turn before long. Lots of time for reading and knitting sounds like the best kind of weekend! See you again soon!

    Our weekend was nice also. Our church started a new season/ sermon series, and we also had a nice get together with our younger daughter's family. Signs of fall are happening here, too. We have even had a tiny bit of much needed rain! Are you reading something interesting?

    Such a beautiful leave! We'll be spending one week in The Netherlands soon, so I hope we'll catch a little bit of fall.

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).
