WEEKENDING


 A weed is but an
 unloved flower.

  ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Saturday was a
girls day, going to
more stores than
I have been to in
months. Finally
going to a World Market
for the first time...being
totally overwhelmed by
all the store has to offer.
Remembering why I like
to shop on the computer.
Carrying a three year old
more than I should have
and now feeling it in
every muscle.
A quiet evening with
Mike just talking and
laughing, enjoying
a feta spinach pizza
and no dishes to wash.
Sunday brought an early
morning to the market,
a long phone conversation
with a dear friend wishing
she lived closer so we could
talk over a cup of tea, a walk
down the dirt road, seeing
the sun peek out from behind
grey clouds, finding little
flowers [I have no idea
what they are] that I remember
as a child and picking
a bouquet to place on the table.
Making plans for a popcorn
lunch, a marathon of Frozen Planet
and some pocket knitting.
Joining once again with Amanda.

  2. Beautiful T. Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend. I think that flower may be fleabane, but not sure. Sounds like the little 3 year old is a good workout - who needs a gym?!?!

  5. When the grands were here, we, too, had a bouquet of those lovely little flowers!!! I think we call them fleabane, too, but not positive that that's what they are. Sounds like a lovely, lovely weekend!!!

  8. Hard to tell what the flowers are without a good look at the leaves, but maybe feverfew or erigeron. Don't know if you'd get that in the States though

  13. Sounds like such a wonderful weekend, Tracey. I love those little flowers, they are so delicate and pretty.

    The World Market is fun, but I agree with you about shopping online. It's nice to be able to take your time and really think about your purchases and not have to worry about traffic and parking.

    I love those pocket knits. What an interesting blog.

    Have a great week!
