WEEKENDING

Besides the noble art of
getting things done, there
is the noble art of leaving
things undone. The wisdom
of life consists in the elimination
of non-essentials.

~ Lin Yulang

weekending, my favorite part of the week. a time to relax, live, love, just to be. if you'd like to share your weekend either with words, photographs, or both, leave a link to a weekend post in the comments. Joining with Amanda for her weekending post.


Saturday morning after finally planting
the remaining rows in the fall garden,
my guy's left for the weekend and I have
had the whole house to myself!
I eliminated all the non-essentials
from my weekend: no vacuuming,
no dusting, not one bathroom scrubbed
or window shined...nope, none of it.
Instead I have looked at a thousand
patterns on Ravelry, knit a little
[a lot] on my socks, started reading
The Hangman's Daughter, baked a
pie [pumpkin-butternut squash]
then had a piece for dinner.
Sunday has been quiet and
peaceful. I went for a great
run, read a little and worked
some on my knitting. I am so
inspired by Soulmama's family
art board I painted a huge piece
of plywood and now have it, along
with various art material, on the
table waiting for everyone to
arrive home. As much as I
would love to have pie again
for dinner, I have stuffed peppers
baking in the oven and plans to
watch I Love Lucy with no complaints! 
How is your weekend unfolding?
