Weekends

 

Good morning to all of you, I hope you had a restful weekend. This past weekend was super boring and just what I needed after all the travels we had the weekend before in Cambridge MA. On Saturday morning, my sister and I took a long walk through the neighborhood and the adjoining trail through the woods that left me feeling exhausted, but the good kind of exhausted.

My husband and I spent lots of time on the back patio with Frodo, reading or eating or both. Sometimes it just gets too hot out there and so I go back inside. Because of my intense desire for fall, and yet we are a long ways away from an awesome season, I started a pair of fingerless mitts for me. After this pair, I will make a pair for my husband. Doing this has help my yearnings for cold weather, for now.

I did a lot of laundry (!) and list making for the upcoming week. How was your weekend?

    These muggy days are really draining. I cleaned out some garden beds over the weekend and I think the heat makes little work feel like a lot! I am hoping today's rain does not fizzle out and we get some actual measurable precipitation! Have a good week!

    I did a lot of cooking (which I lovve) and a bunch of knitting and stitching. Today's agenda includes work (boring) and laundry.

    It wears me out to walk in the humid weather. Like you, I am REALLY looking forward to cooler, less humid days and evenings when the windows can be open.

    I hope that knitting fingerless mitts helps to speed up the arrival of fall! If it seems to be working, I might join you in some fall knitting.

    Still too hot here to enjoy the outdoors. Went to Mass, did a food pick up for our churches food bank, painted pottery with grandkids and her friends and knit. Glad you are at least able to sit outside for bits of time. Fresh air and sunshine are good for the mind and body.

    We enjoyed the summery weather....not too hot here in Western NY this weekend. Glad I was able to get in the pool. Only a few weeks of pool weather left. I'll be looking forward to mitten progress in the next post.

    I like the color of those mittens. They look very much like autumn. We had a nice quiet weekend that included church and a coffee pickup on Sunday. I made a bunch of lists on Sunday for this week and next as we are having company.

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
