Weekends

 

Good morning! 

On Saturday my sister and brother in law invited us for dinner but we did not play any board games this time. They had a busy day and wanted to relax after dinner. My husband has been joining me for walks because he has those stitches in his arm and is restricted in his activities, it's nice to have him along. 

Now that the weather is getting hotter, I walk earlier and earlier to beat the heat. Frodo and I do not like hot and humid weather, but you know that about us already.

I worked on the sweater that probably doesn't have enough yarn, but I do have a pretty good plan that I'm excited about. I'm over half way through the first sleeve, thoroughly enjoying my time knitting. 

On Sunday I attended 7:30 am Mass enjoying the cool church (no AC!!). Once home, I blitzed the laundry chores and tidying up spaces. My husband and I have lunch on the back patio before the day gets too hot. 

How was your weekend?

    Pretty cone flowers! Lunch on othe patio sounds delightful. Your sweater is coming along nicely and glad you have a plan in case yarn chicken is involved. I walked yesterday, but I think my legs need a rest today!

    Hot and humid weather is yucky. Good thing your early mornings are still pleasant enough to get in a walk. No A/C in a church? The priest must melt in all his priestly garments! Poor man. Your sweater looks like a nice relaxing knit.

    Your sweater looks like a good color to throw on over EVERYTHING.

    We tried to beat the heat as well this weekend! Those early mornings are such a blessing!

    I know you were wishing for dull days ... and I think your weekend sounds perfect! I did smile at he idea of church without A/C. That sounds delightfully ... like winter here ;-) I've been knitting, knitting, knitting on a shawl for a friend - it needs to go in the mail this week. loving the dull days here, too!

    Look at your flower bed. I love cone flowers. I am also walking earlier and earlier. That sweater is going to go with everything.

    How nice that you have your husband joining you on your walks. I've been doing early morning walks also to beat the heat. Love the knitting.

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
