WEEKENDING

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.

  4. I, 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.

  8. 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?

  9. Coffee 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.

  11. I 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)

  16. Oh 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!

  17. I 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?
