Weekends

 

Good morning! This is a quick post since the weekend is still going strong in this house. Our Saturday and Sunday were ordinary days, just the way I love them. We have great air quality once again and along with that has been the rainy season. I tried to take a walk in between the rain drops and was quite successful.

I did some loose watercolor pictures in my practice sketchbook of cardinals. It was fun to do the same thing over and over again. The paper isn't the greatest which made the paintings more challenging. 

My husband and I went to my sister and brother in law house for dinner and games on Saturday night. I believe we laughed the hardest ever. It was painfully good.

Sunday morning we attended Mass then I did the laundry and other chores in the house. Over all it was a lovely weekend. I picked up a sweater that I started a while ago and still wonder if I have enough yarn and how will I go about solving my dilemma if I have one.

How was yours?

    That does sound like a lovely weekend, especially with clearer air. Keep the weekend going for a couple more days!

    It's so fun to laugh hard - and it is surprising good for our physical and mental health too! Glad you had a nice weekend. I love your practice watercolors of the Cardinals. I hope you week is good. So glad that your air quality has improved. See you again soon!

    Laughing the hardest is definitely life goals. So lucky you all are to have each other and be living so close.

    Your game night sounds wonderful as does walking in the rain. We had a family filled Saturday and Mass on Sunday weekend too. No yarn chicken here though. Just knitting away on two different socks.

    Extend that weekend feeling through the holiday. Your yard looks beautiful. I'm glad the skies have cleared and that you found your sweate. Best of luck with that yarn dilemma.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
