WEEKENDING

Every time we walk along a beach
some ancient urge disturbs us so
that we find ourselves shedding
shoes and garments or scavenging
among seaweed and whitened timbers
like the homesick refugees of a long war. 

~Loren Eiseley



It was a great weekend!

A few days of...

~ the sound of the ocean and
   the feel of sand

~ strawberry picking

~ great finds while thrifting

~ designing and knitting a
    hat

~ An empty house, just me, so
   that means a clean kitchen
   and salad for dinner.

I hope your weekend was everything
you wanted and your Monday is off to
a great start.

  16. Well, it has been a while but I did manage to go back and read quite a few of your posts...lovely as always! Your knits and photography are quite impressive. Loved the white and blue shawl! You are quite the knitter for teaching yourself and so prolific. I also loved the grey socks with the red hearts...such a sweet touch. Your property was fun to tour too! It was nice that all my favorite blogs are still going strong! I will be checking in more frequently now as I didn't realize how much I missed "Blogland"!
