Weekends

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 full and interesting.  Early in the morning on Saturday we took Frodo to the vet because he was feeling poorly.  We walked out with medicine and today he is acting a tad bit better, I think the spring grasses are irritating to him.  He has been hiding under the ottoman or in the photo above under the back porch stairs.  If he was a human he could do with some therapy!  He is easily upset and everyone at the vet hospital knows his gentle sensitive soul. We also hauled our unusual recyclable "stuff" to a recycling fundraiser only to arrive and find out it was canceled.  So, we drove around our little town and the adjacent ones finding recycling places to avoid taking back the "stuff".  While initially we were irked, we had great fun, googling

That Inner Dialogue

Image
Ever so slowly I am bringing back my shamrock plant back from the dead.  This process ties in with the Easter season.  Many of my plants get too much love (over watering) or not enough love (under watering).  Then I'm faced with adjusting my love for them. Have you ever thought about rewriting your inner dialogue.  You know, the stuff we say to ourselves or think to ourselves day in day out.  Sometimes that dialogue can be negative or maybe not productive.  I've worked diligently these past years on focusing on the present and being overall positive.  But life isn't stagnant and we are face with changes.  When I'm sad, frustrated or worried, eventually I tire of those feelings and stop and truly listen to myself. My inner dialogue needs rewriting.  I'm listening to what I believe are facts and they are fiction, my imagination of what could be-what might be and nothing has happened yet. So this week, I'm rewriting my dialogue, every thought is being flippe

Currently on the Needles

Something new is on the needles, happiness and joy!  I started another Hitofude cardigan and this time around I'm making the sleeves long instead of 3/4 length.  I'm guessing and fudging and hoping that the sleeves will look fantastic.  Also, I've mastered the crochet provisional cast on.  My first   Hitofude I was too lazy to dig out a crochet hook and so I knit the beginning with a waste yarn.  After the sleeves were knit up, I was sadden by an entire day of unknitting that lazy decision and have learned my lesson.  Do a proper provisional cast on. My reading is new as well.  I started  The Shipping News  by E. Annie Proulx.  Since I've just started the book, I have no opinions at all.  Let's see how the book goes. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
