Weekends

 

Good morning! How are you?

Even though it was mighty cold yesterday, I found daffodils sprouting in my yard. They are defiantly saying spring is on the way. Over the weekend the temps dropped down and I was once again doing my daily walk wearing double of everything. As long as there is no wind, my cold walks are manageable. 

My weekend was busy. We viewed three houses for the kids and while one of them was a great possibility they are going to wait a few more weeks before committing on a house. Yesterday after the laundry was done, I read my books and knitted in the afternoon. I am almost done with the baby blanket. 

Lent starts this Wednesday and maybe I will be posting a little less (or not). Can you believe that we change the time this coming weekend? Time flies by the older I get. 

How was your weekend?

    I also spotted daffodils coming up around our house! And the Red Wing Blackbirds are back - a sure sign of Spring. I had just noticed the other day that we change the clocks next weekend. I don't know...it seems early to me. And yes, time is flying by! We had high winds starting mid-day Saturday, so no walks for me unfortunately. But, lots of knitting, stitching and reading time, so overall a good weekend!

    That seems pretty early for the time change but I'm not in charge. While it's chilly this morning, it supposed to get much warmer over the coming week. You'll have daffodil blooms soon!

    My daff's are not nearly as "sprouted" as yours are! But yes for signs of spring! Walking on Saturday in the crazy winds was a bit of a challenge.... I am ready for spring!

    Hi - I hopped over from Sandi's blog to visit. So glad you are seeing daffodils coming up...mine are peaking through in spots too. Your baby blanket looks so warm. It is certainly hard to wrap my brain around the time change too. Always think it seems so silly to play with the clocks because it really doesn't change how much daylight we receive - guess folks like it to stay lighter at night...I prefer earlier light in the morning. :)! Have a blessed day.

    I haven't seen anything sprouting around here yet. We usually have some wild flowers pop up around here but so far nothing as of yet.

    Good thing daffodils are hearty. I meant to go out and have a look around this weekend but walked instead. Time really does fly. It's hard to believe we are into March.

    Friday evening, we went out to dinner and did a bit of shopping in a sweet gift shop. The rest of the weekend was spent resting and reading. I finally gave in and went to the doctor today to find out that what I have been dealing with is actually bronchitis. So, still doing resting and reading. :) it's all good...I have medicine now.

    It's so lovely to see bulbs sprouting up and ready to bloom. The blanket is looking good. It sounds like a nice weekend, knitting and reading x

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).
