Pumpkin Sunrise

Weekends are for memory making,  relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.   If you would like, please share your weekend moments  in the comment section with a link to your blog. Chocolate chip cookies are in the house :) Friday was a nice evening where we went out for dinner at a favorite restaurant for pizza.  I finished some continuing education work online in the afternoon that took longer than I thought, as it always does, and I enjoyed the celebratory feeling at the meal.  Another task crossed off the list. Saturday was a lazy day.  I walked twice and thoroughly enjoyed the mild weather.  If only summer could stay in the low eighties, maybe then I wouldn't grumble about my least favorite season.  I didn't cook dinner because of the leftovers from Friday's dinner out.  I watched some Dr. Who and knit furiously on my socks.  I have a personal goal of finishing them in a few days.  Imaginary pressure is on :) Later today after church, I&#

What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
