Pumpkin Sunrise

I love starting new projects especially lace weight ones and yesterday was the day to cast one on.  This project was lined up for vacation beach knitting and as always, I never started the knit because I over pack for trips and have little time to sit and focus. Here is the ravelry page . Are you surprised that my reading is the same?  I'm not at all.  I have minimal time to read but since the house is settling down with busyness, I think I'll be able to sneak in a few hours more during the day.  The book continues to be okay, and so I will continue to read. I recently moved those shamrock plants to this table because I think the left one was getting too much direct lighting.  So now we'll see if they can recover and be happy.  Also the origami is a five sided tetrahedron , he gave this one to his dad for his office.  There is origami sprinkled everywhere in this house. joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

I find that the more I check off my to do list the more I add to the list.  As you know, we found an apartment for our daughter after a two month search.  A huge weight off of my mind and instead of celebrating, I turn around and start the search for my son's apartment.  This one is challenging because he will be in Boston and that is not near here.  So more juggling of the logistics of seeing places.  Thankfully my husband is the adventurous city traveler and so I will create the checklist and send them on their merry way. Not sure when.... So while I am busy and living a full purposeful life, I am creating a happy list: -walking after six in the evening with my dog and my family -coffee in the early morning while I journal -knitting my blanket -planning a new knit! -sesame bagels -avocados with salt (I am a salt lover and I dread the day the dr says 'no') -AC -sticking to my walking and my yoga routines -love the feel of more flexibility and less aches and

Weekends are for memory making,  relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.   If you would like, please share your weekend moments  in the comment section with a link to your blog. My weekend was busy with a full house since both kids were home.  In favor of the list making, here's the weekend summary: -corn on the cob with burgers and a spinach feta pasta salad -s'mores on the grill (while pretending the grill is a campfire) -thinking about the s'mores was a happy two day event for me -a beautiful cold front blew through the area and I enjoyed a jacket wearing walk -apartment searching for my daughter is over-once the application is filled out and a deposit is made -walking twice a day and stopping to pick raspberries because they are sweet -knitting -finishing a challenging sudoku that lasted three days Today will be the laundry, cleaning, menu planning for the week, and hopefully I will see my coffee table once more.
