Pumpkin Sunrise

Can you see him?  This heron has been visiting for a few years now.  I do love when he is visiting.  Three mornings in a row in the early morning hours a family of wild turkeys have walked through our backyard.  No photos yet, but believe me, I've been ready to snap now.  I counted NINE, I love living where I live. This week has been glorious in terms of low humidity and blue skies.  I'm bottling up my love of the weather because the heat and humidity are returning tomorrow.  So I'll be a little grumpy during those days.  I know deep down inside that summer is nearly over and signs of fall are inching there way into my world. On our walks, red and yellow leaves have dropped and my mighty oak has been sprinkling acorns everywhere.  All too soon those crazy squirrels will be dashing back and forth across the road to get those nuts risking their lives in the process. This week has been nice and quiet, just the way I like it.  Have a lovely weekend!

As you can see, I'm nearly to the half way point on my striped cowl .  I'm alternating between this project and my featherweight cardigan .  Before the wedding I craved simple stockinette and now that the wedding is over I am eagerly wishing for some challenging knits.  But first I need to finish these two projects... My reading is the same as last week-- A Year of Wonders, so far so good.  I am wanting to research all about the plague but first I need to finish the book.  My reading time has only been at night and you know that I fall asleep within the first page.  Today, I will dedicate some daytime reading. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

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 started off with the newlyweds returning from their honeymoon in Iceland, they had a great time and I loved seeing their photos of what they did.  Above is a photo of the presents they brought back for us.  I cannot wait until Christmas to place my puffin on the tree!   Yesterday started off the "staycation", we went Eagle's Mere  for their Arts and Crafts fair.  The day was picture perfect, not too cold or hot.  We shared a portobello mushroom wrap and some fries.  Sharing makes the calories half the amount and twice the fun. Today was Mass and then some quality knitting time with my friends.  Once I hit publish, I'm going for a walk and then Netflix has announced to me personally that the new Doctor Who season is available.....swoon!
