Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend? 

Mine was relaxing. After we returned home on Thursday from seeing the grandchildren in Indiana, my Friday was a catch up day. Saturday and Sunday were completely relaxing. 

Saturday I fiddled about with organizing my online photos for 2020, 2021 and 2022 (yes woefully behind but done!). I still have to save some photos on this computer to save to a flash drive yet. Isn't it silly to be virtually organizing? Remember when we had physical copies of everything and would place the photos in photo albums?

Saturday afternoon, I read books and worked on the last hitchhiker shawl (still not done).

Sunday after Mass, I did laundry and cleaned the house somewhat. I read some more and knitted some more. That last hitchhiker shawl is taking forever but I am so close to being finished.


I'm sure we are still going to have hot weather but honestly it's been refreshing to be cold in the mornings and see the changes in the trees. Fall is rushing in and I am welcoming it.

    I think it's a good idea to organize those digital photos. I don't want to say how far behind I am! You are knitting some beautiful yarn into that Hitchhiker!

    I agree with Bonny on organizing digital photos! (and like her, I am far, far behind!)

    Happy Much Cooler Monday!

    How do you organize digital photos? By subject? By date? We are heading below 100° this week and I am ecstatic. Hopefully we will stay that way until next summer.

    A relaxing weekend sounds perfect. We hosted H's friends for a playdate and let them make their own pizzas.. so I had a lot of clean up to do. Not relaxing.

    The hitchhiker looks very pretty. I love the colors. Hooray for cooler mornings. We had a few cooler days and are now warming up again. A relaxing weekend is nice. Most of my hard copy photos are in photo boxes arranged by date. I gave up the albums quite early as it seemed like the kids needed photos for school projects. They were hard to get out of albums and then back into them.

    Your garden looks pretty. I like that yarn you are using for that hitchhiker shawl.

    I should try to organize my photos somehow. I have many, many photo albums and used to be quite good at keeping everything organized and up-to-date. So glad you could visit your grandchildren, and then rest and relax when you got home. You have a lovely backyard. Have a good week!

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).
