Happenings

 

Good morning! How are you doing today and how was your week?

The weather is finally the weather I love, crisp cool mornings and a somewhat warm day. Yesterday  it rained lots and I kind of liked it. I could hear the rain on the roof pitter-pattering away. The local grands slept over Friday night and we had a good time over all. My husband was tired from jet lag and I am on prednisone so my nerves are somewhat stretched thin (not complaining, it makes my mouth feel better so that is a blessing!). I continue to improve daily and for that I am grateful. I also watched them for Sunday afternoon and we had a big watercolor party at the kitchen table.

I worked on my husband's socks over the weekend since I could not work on holiday gifts in front of the kids. Of course when I cast on the second sock (yay!) I did not cast on enough stitches so I had to rip it all out and start over again. So I knit the cuff twice, ha ha.

In the bottom photo I bought the pumpkin on the right from Trader Joe's a week ago. My dad gave me the one on the left. So happy to see pumpkins and colorful leaves on the trees. I'm trying to remember to be mindful and enjoy this transient season. Fall goes by very quickly!

On Saturday afternoon, we (he) dismantled the back patio and put the summer chairs away. The forecast doesn't show much sitting outside time and so far they are predicting rain which makes putting away the back patio, well, wet. 

On Sunday, I baked an acorn squash for dinner as well and it tasted like fall, if fall had a taste.
