The
butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore |
A weekend of...
*attending the fall Friends
of the Library book sale.
I picked up a few books,
but it was really kind of
disappointing this year.
*Lunch at a retro sandwich
shop with my fifteen year
old and just enjoying watching
him eat; teenage boy's can
inhale a LOT of food.
*Double scoops of coffee ice cream
while browsing the downtown
shops.
*A quick stop at my LYS for
new needles.
*Trying not to be totally grossed
out as I cooked Rachel's Bone Broth.
It's kind of spooky to lift the lid
on a pot and see chicken feet floating
around! [It's for my guy's].
*Making a double batch of
Heather's Breakfast Blend
[It's for me!].
*Trying not to cry as I frogged
my Sunday Sweater. There was
a mistake, an effort at fixing
the mistake, then a terrible
accident with a glass of iced chia
tea latte. It was a slow and
painful death.
*Casting on another Sunday Sweater,
this time using Stitch Nation's Bamboo Ewe
in Beach Glass [because it was in my
stash and I needed to immediately cast on
again to remove the trauma of the above
mentioned accident.]
*Listening to the thunder and rain half
of the night and loving it.
* Watching butterflies group together for
a little drink and some sun [ we've
been so dry]
*Enjoying all the little moments that make
up my days because they make my life
and I don't want to miss anything.
*The Grits Spoon giveaway is still open.

beautiful butterflies! and i can feel your pain with the sweater. i've been there, done that. the good news: you can always cast on again :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, had to sadly frog my Sunday Sweater the first time I cast on.... Glad you were able to re-cast on immediately...that does make one feel better. I hope this time goes easier. I can't wait to see photos of it! Such beautiful photos and a lovely weekend.

bummer about the sweater. :(
ReplyDeleteare you in a migratory path for the butterflies???? I've never seen so many together drinking! so pretty!!!
You have such a can-do attitude...I don't know if I could cast back on a sweater I frogged so quickly. It's inspiring. Love all the butterfly photos. They are amazing, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteCoffee ice cream -- my favorite! And how I love thunder. We only hear it once or maybe twice a year out here -- enjoy that sound for me.
ReplyDeleteWow, your pictures are stunning Tracey. Sorry about the sweater, not fun. Hope you enjoyed the lovely lunch with your son...I hope mine will eat out with me when he is that old :)
ReplyDeleteI am so sad you had to rip out. I gasped! But I also admire you're re cast on happiness. Awesome butterflies, we rarely see them around here. And yes. Boys can eat a lot! I wish I could eat that much :) (without gaining weight)
ReplyDeleteOh sorry to hear about the cardi. My daughter's definition of love is cooking her man chicken noodle soup from scratch.. she's also a vegetarian. I wouldn't mind a bit of that rain down this way.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful butterflies! I love this post!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing photographs Tracey...I love butterflies...(dragon flies too). Your weekend sounds so full of fun things. Sorry about the sweater...it's frustrating but you are such a quick knitter I'm sure you'll soon make up time.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

Love those butterflys! Sounds like a delightful weekend Tracey! We had lots of rain around here.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, so sorry to hear about your sweater incident. Yes, teenage boys do have a way of eating a lot – I'm learning this first hand! I make bone broth a lot but I've only once tried it with the feet and I have to agree it was a little startling to see the feet floating around. The butterflies are beautiful – what a gift it must have been to see them up close!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your sweater. Oh man. Chicken feet! That pre-cooked stage would be perfect for Halloween. Good luck with your next sweater and congrats on the new needles. Where'd you find the feet?
ReplyDeletexo
your photos are lovely. so sorry about your sweater. i had to restart a project that i am working on. it's not as large as a sweater but still frustrating. good luck with your new sweater.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry about your sweater :-( I would have cried. And probably not re-cast on and sulked about it for days :-( I love the butterflies!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I would have cried over that sweater accident! I hope the new one will go smoothly now!
ReplyDeleteAnd those butterfly pictures; beautiful!
