Pumpkin Sunrise

This is a quick post, I'm still, yes still working on my socks , shawl and the blanket .  Sort of slow going in the knitting and reading in my life.  I'm looking forward to fall when there is more time to focus on my knitting. My reading is the same, The Interestings  has actually become a little interesting.  The beginning for me was slow going but now that I'm more than half way through I like the story.  I have no idea where the story is going but that makes me like reading it all the more! What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

Over the weekend, I spent some time alone outside with the big camera looking at my small world through the lens.  I love how we walk about in ordinary time and see beauty but when there is a camera involved the outside views are fine tuned, focused and exact.  In capturing these photos, I stopped time for a second and saved a bit of loveliness from the day. Our liatris has been blooming magnificently even though some rabbits keep trying to trim the new shoots down to the ground.  I've seen many butterflies and even honey bees! Outside walking in the garden I forgot about the heat and humidity and soaked in what summer is all about.  Summer is blooming, buzzing, flitting around me, I stop, look and  listen to the season's best offerings. I hope you are enjoying your outside views this week!

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. Frodo is recovering from a grooming appointment.  He takes extra naps and needs extra snuggles.  My weekend was slow and purposeful: -I celebrated two apartments found now- toe tapping and waiting for rental agreements to be signed for the official deep sigh of relief -corn on the cob again for a meal-lots of butter and salt -time alone outside with the big camera and loving the depth of the photos -eliminating a stack of papers on the kitchen counter -watching Dr. Who -enjoying the lull of the afternoons-quiet and peaceful -knitting -creating new lists for relocating two kids in six weeks (six! weeks!) -loving how my husband and I can help them with their transitions and appreciating our relationships with adult children Today will be Mass, laundry and gettin
