Weekends


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.


My weekend was the vacation while staying home each night.  Day trips filled with friends who are like (are) family. I breathed in that woodsy smell and enjoyed being in nature.

The humidity has left for now and it feels different, almost not like summer but not like fall.  I like it!
I am ready to wear jeans again (without sweating) and maybe some wool?  Ah, a girl can dream.


On Friday, I visited two yarn shops that are a drive away with my husband.  I haven't been yarn shopping in quite some time.  Since Thanksgiving??  I can't remember.  When I buy lots of yarn I feel the need to knit through the collection.  Anyways, I had a great time, too many choices but I did pick some and don't ask what I'm making....I have no idea!


Today was quiet and relaxing.  I went to Mass prayed for many who are on my thoughts and also thanked for many of the blessings I have.  The laundry is almost done and once I hit publish, I'll be taking a walk.


Thank you all for your kind words and encouraging comments about children moving out, I appreciated them.  I like knowing I have company!  Thank you all for reading and commenting and to the readers who are silent.  I used to be a silent reader too!  

How was your weekend?

  7. It's cooler here, too. I've been wearing jeans ... in August!
    Getting outside on the weekend is so important. I walked Saturday, but not today. Sigh. Too much to do.
    I love yarn shopping.

  10. Wonderful here too. The humidity left this morning. Yesterday we traveled 2 plus hours to the Farmers market in Madison. Lovely day. among lovely friends.
    TOday...I got a much needed hair trim, a nap and some great knitting.
    The air is full of breezes and we just saw the evening skunk go by.
    Looking forward to a really quiet week here.
    To bike? To kayak? To hike? All within my grasp. :)

  14. A beautiful weekend and some gorgeous wool you have there too!!! I love the fact that while you are eagerly waiting cooler weather - we are ever so excited to bring in the new season here. Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons (although Rob doesn't believe in them - he only believes in Winter and Summer!)

  17. Good morning Karen! Your weather sounds like ours right now. It is 55 this morning! I have been home for a week after surgery and I haven't felt like doing much but again you inspire me to pick up my needles! We are looking forward to fall around here as well! Hope you have a blessed day! Love those yarns by the way.

  24. Oh all that pretty yarn! Just beautiful...
    I love that "in between" season. Like you, still the best of summer, but with the first hints of cool. Jeans and tshirt weather is what I call it. Just lovely!
