Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty good! Whatever allergy thing I was was suffering with for almost a week seems to be almost over. However, when I take Frodo for a walk this morning, I'm sure it will start all over again.

We didn't do much this weekend. He worked on the finishing touches of the deck flooring and I did a lot of laundry and started to clean the house. Today I'll finish up what I didn't get done yesterday. Even though it rained over the weekend, I rather enjoyed it.

My sister and I went out to a farmer's market on Saturday morning. We bought 'salad turnips' which tasted really good! She's going to grow some in her garden this year because of our adventurous purchase. I do love new things to put in a salad.

My knitting remains the same: a pair of socks for my husband and a lace scarf. Both are doing okay.

Sunday morning we went to Mass and had taco salad for dinner.

How was your weekend?

    What a pretty tree! I love turnips (hard them as a kid), but I've never heard of salad turnips. I bet they are delish!! My weekend was a good mix of some chores, some knitting, some reading, some stitching and seeing family.

    I'm not familiar with salad turnips but they do sound interesting! Those trees are lovely and fingers crossed that your allergies are decreasing.

    It seems that we are all suffering from either allergies or colds. I can't decide what mine is as I feel fine during the day, but not in the morning or at night. Your blooming trees are very pretty. I have never heard of salad turnips. Our weekend was cool, cloudy and rainy. Good for indoor pursuits.

    Are salad turnips different from turnips? That tree photo is so pretty. Yum, taco salad. One of our favorites

    I'm so glad you had an enjoyable weekend, Karen. Your pictures are beautiful. Is the last picture a Bleeding Heart or is it Solomon's Seal? I can't quite tell.

    I've never heard of salad turnips but now I am curious. The tree is beautiful. Quiet weekend around here, I was in recovery mode.

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).
