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 comments section of the blog.



Another weekend has come and gone - amazing how I collect weekend after weekend and sometimes they seem the same and at other times well, they are different.  Even though summer is clinging onto by a thread there are signs of fall.  A stray leaf here and there from my maples.  The days are shorter and the mornings are darker (I love that the best). This weekend was part of our "staycation" time together.

We ate out for lunch on Thursday after shopping for suits for him (yawn...).  Friday we ate out for dinner because we are on vacation.  Yesterday we had homemade pizza outside on the patio because we are on vacation.  So many little actions adding up to a relaxing state of mind.  Where ever we drove, we chose the scenic route taking in the hills and farmlands.  Pennsylvania gets more beautiful the older I become.  I guess wisdom has a part to play in that.

this photo was an accidental one :)

I finished my book (My Grandmother told me to tell you she is sorry) yesterday and my oh my was it good.  I love when a novel sticks with you throughout the day and you feel sad that you finished it.  This year I've had more books like that and that makes me think I'm getting better at picking my reads.

Today is the last day of staycation.  I had friends over for knitting and soon I have to fold some laundry.  The hot tea is waiting for me and so is my knitting!

my liatris is just about done done
How was your weekend?

  1. It sounds like a wonderful staycation! My weekend has been pretty good. Yesterday I went out to breakfast with friends, then came home and did a little house loving and spent the rest of the day knitting and reading.
    Today I've been making pickled sausages for Mike and actually visited my blog! Yay me! :)

  8. oh it makes me sad when stay-cations come to an end! I am in real need of one. Since I have a new boss (almost a year now) I have taken hardly any time off at all. Any way... I am looking forward to fall this year. Too much extreme heat here in Missouri. I feel like I live in the rain forest... blah. I am adding this book to my list (as I may have already said in other comments). Thanks for sharing!

  13. Yep... signs of autumn are everywhere here too... My daughter started collecting leaves and my son is fascinated with acorns, The light has been so low and glowing late day. It's been amazing! I hope the season treats you very well my dear Karen. xo
