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. Guess what?  I have snow, a lot of snow.  You know, the snow blowing kind of snow.  All day long yesterday I sat and watched the snowfall.  The very best part was having my electricity the whole time.  Oh, sometimes everything works out just fine. I shoveled the front walk, to participate in some fashion,  while he took care of the long long driveway.  He is a summer lover and I think he enjoys the snow blowing as long as he is warm enough.  He only came in once to switch out gloves for mitts.  I enjoyed the snow day and staying inside. Today, the plow did not clear our road this morning, so we didn't attend church.  I found it hard to guess what the roads were like and decided I didn't want to know.  I think the road crew had some challenges clearing all of the side r

What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams
