WEEKENDING

No child but must remember
laying his head in the grass,
 staring into the infinitesimal
 forest and seeing it grow
 populous with fairy armies.

  ~Robert Louis Stevenson,
Essays in The Art of Writing






 

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 up with Amanda.

This weekend has been:
:: Hours of paper and computer work resulting in several major projects
   being checked off, leaving only one major task to complete and it can
   wait a few weeks.
:: Duplicating a lunch dish I enjoyed on a recent trip to Whole Foods, except I
    left out the pine nuts as they are crazy expensive!
:: Enjoying fresh tomatoes from the green house along with carrots, greens and
    radishes from the garden. The tomatoes are my husband's babies that he has
    pampered for months.
:: Still blaring Adele and also adding a little Norah Jones to the mix.
:: Finishing on sleeve on my Abigail and starting the second one.
:: Not enjoying the time change at all, knowing my whole internal clock will
    be off until we fall back to the normal time.
:: Going on a hunt for fairies and finding where they have a home!

[E]very time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead. ~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan

  8. so sweet, i love your fairy tea party.

    time change feels a bit like jet lag, and (for me) soon passes after sleep and good food and plenty of water.
    love that you used r.l.s. again. xxx
    have a wonderful week ahead dear tracey.

  11. Love your woodland tea party! I am the same about the time change and I am glad it is not just me. I am not normal until Fall. Why people why?! It gets lighter in the evening anyway.
    Oh congrats on those big projects! I am loving all of the green in those shots!

  12. Love the fairy tea set...so sweet!
    I read the recipe for fermenting beet root in my permaculture magazine...I simply cut the beet root into thin slices, placed them in a glass jar with lid, covered them in water and left on the kitchen work top for 3 days then refrigerated...I've been drinking the juice daily.
    I believe in fairies!xxx

  13. p.s You asked about my Rosie the other week, she was looking and feeling a bit better, but I think she caught an illness from school as lots of her class mates were off sick ( she is only going in for half days at the moment ), so I am hoping that she gets back to that improvement soon....lots of love, sunshine and good nutrition...hopefully it won't be long before she is back to normal.
    Wishing you a wonderful week.x

  14. Beautiful quote!
    I had pine nuts on my shopping list this week and left them at the shop - maybe once a month?!
    And here, also, Adele - Kaya and me singing along, which I love - not so sure about our neighbours. :)
