Weekends

 

Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! How was your weekend? 

Yesterday, we went over to my sister's house for a small family luncheon. We had a great time and the food as always was good. I texted the kids and we exchanged some family photos of our celebrations since we were far away from each other. 

After many loads of laundry over the weekend and a quick cleaning, the house is done until the next weekend. I did a little bit of knitting and a little bit of reading each day. Mostly I relaxed and wished for different weather. Right now it is a rainy day (sigh).

My sister made me the little candle jar and the little bunny for Easter. They are delightful!

    What a lovely weekend! We are having a rainy day too and it is making it difficult for me to wake up.

    That sounds like a very nice weekend! It's supposed to rain here every day this week except Friday. I'm already planning my nap this afternoon on this gray, gray day.

    It was a beautiful weekend! (And the rain this morning was not bad for walking!)

    Good morning Karen! We went to the lake condo but came home early because I started getting sick... needed a vaporizer and some medicine... Sounds like you had a lovely weekend! Yes, spring is here and the rain begins. So glad it is not snow! Hope you have a blessed week!

    It rained here in the afternoon but the morning was beautiful. I spent most of the day sitting on the covered deck knitting. Actually, I spent most of Saturday sitting on the deck knitting too. It was an wonderfully relaxing weekend for me. Happy belated Easter!

    What a lovely Easter weekend. The gifts from your sister are very sweet. We had two cool days and today a little rain and mist. We attended early church and then went to lunch with my brother-in-law and his family. A quiet Easter.

    Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend. For the first time I didn't cook a big ham dinner, we had a very casual brunch and I loved not doing dishes all day! I hope you can get out and walk this week.

    Happy Easter! We "rested" on Sunday and then helped with Sara's move on Monday. I'm glad Eastertide is 50 days ... I need more!

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
