WEEKENDING

The best things in life are nearest:
  Breath in your nostrils, light in your
  eyes, flowers at your feet, duties
at your hand, the path of right just
before you. Then do not grasp at
the stars, but do life's plain, common
work as it comes, certain that daily
duties and daily bread are the
 sweetest things in life.

  ~Robert Louis Stevenson
It has been a weekend
of simple tasks...shopping
for food and discovering a
great chip finding the most
comfortable bra I have
ever worn, knitting away
on a top for the wee
one's birthday for next
month, picking up great
mail from the post office
[thank you ko], pampering
myself with a fun pedicure
and a much needed facial
Today there has been a
slow walk around the yard
and seeing that we really need
rain, clipping berries  and putting
them in the freezer to de-stem
in preparation for making syrup
next week, thinking  I really
want to make this for dessert.
This afternoon promises to be
quiet and peaceful as I hid inside
from the heat and just let the
day flow.
How has your weekend been?

  9. your words flow relaxing, and I get that your weekend was just that. nice toes, looking down at happy feet always makes me smile and introducing yourself to berries you'll turn into syrup sounds like a wonderful activity.

  10. Fun pedicure...love the colour...my toes are painted a kind of greenish grey at the moment...I seem to be in a green mood these days...maybe because everything's growing around me.

    It sounds like you managed to accomplish a lot but chill out and have down time too. The perfect balance.

    Hope the rest of the week follows the same rhythm.

  12. I love the name - bikini so teeny. What fun. Keep pampering yourself - you deserve it. Cute shoes. How did the others work out? I have noticed we are also slowing down in the heat. This week looks a bit cooler and I am glad!

  13. We need rain too. Everything is so brown and dry. We're thinking that we'll have to pull up our grass in the front and either reseed or find alternatives to grass. Love that blue nailpolish.

  14. Oh my goodness, that little top is going to be delicious! Which colours did you use? Was it terribly difficult? I want to see it when it's finished, it looks so sweet!!

    And you're right about those bras...comfy!
