WEEKENDING: MORNINGS

 The moment when you first wake up
 in the morning is the most wonderful
 of the twenty-four hours.  No matter
 how weary or dreary you may feel,
 you possess the certainty that,
 during the day that lies before
practically always doesn't,
matters not a jot.  The possibility
 is always there. 

~Monica Baldwin
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 commentsJoining with Amanda for her weekending post.

I woke early and
sat outside with my
coffee in hand and
knitting on my
lap watching the
sun come up, then
I spent most of the
day knitting, knitting,
knitting! I now have
just one toe and the
long stockings are
finished. I can't wait
to see them on a
pair of little wee legs!
I tried out a new yogurt maker,
made yogurt cheese, hummus
[I added roasted bell pepper],
and these little puffs to
serve with afternoon tea.
I did the weekly market
trip and judging by the
crowd, I won't be back
for a few weeks. I just
can not to the crowds!
I talked on the phone with
a friend who lives [unfortunately]
clear across the country.
I am now thinking we All

really need to have a blogging/
knitting getaway someplace
fabulous for all of us to
meet in person! Ireland?!

  1. Now see.. I thought we were all going to Jacqui's croft for a knitting getaway! ;-)

    Your weekend sounds like it was overall pleasant, despite the trip to the market. Those puffs look delicious -- I'm going to save the recipe and try it out in a couple of weeks.

    I'm looking forward to seeing those completed stockings on their deserving recipient.

    Have a wonderful week, Tracey!

  3. I am SO IN on a blogging/knitting getaway, ESPECIALLY if it's in Ireland!

    We did our regular food shopping yesterday and hit the crazy Thanksgiving crowds at the supermarket -- it was awful. I'm NOT going back until after Thanksgiving, no matter what I forgot to buy. It made me look up a recipe for onion dip -- I can do it!

  4. I am not fond of crowds at all. Better to just avoid them. I spent lots of time enjoying my mornings this weekend as well. Glad you are nearly done with the socks!
