Weekends

 

Our weekend was wonderful, how was yours?

On Saturday morning my sister and I had an outing and did some shopping. Our favorite smoothie shop closed down a month ago. Instead she has been making the smoothies and they are delicious. We were both home by lunch time. 

Over the weekend I found a mistake on my grandson's sweater so I had to rip it out and fix the mistake. It was a mistake I couldn't live with (aren't they all?). I am almost back to where I was before I ripped it out. Twice the knitting fun!

Sunday morning, we attended Mass and afterwards I visited my aunt and cousin for an hour. I did the laundry and cleaned parts of the house. The weather is heating up for the week and I'm pretending that isn't happening. I hope this is the last heat event of the year.

    Look at those leaves!! Our weather is warming too, but the evenings remain blissfully cool.

    I'm ignoring the warmup, too! We'll be back to fall temps by next Sunday but I also hope that this is the last blast of heat for the year.

    I am hoping that this heatwave ripens the last few big tomatoes on my plants! (and that there is zero humidity, because warm days are lovely sans humidity!)

    Your porch DEFINITELY says fall! I think the heat-wave will be our last.

    haha.. this a warmth I can handle.. we are in the mid to late 70's right now. It's the 90's and more that drive me mad.
    Looks like you had a perfectly idyllic weekend. Ours was pretty good as well.

    What beautiful mums or asters? I hope today marks the end of the heat here - 90 plus degree days are a little warm for the end of September and first of October.

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
