WEEKENDING

The aim of life is to live,
and to live means to be
aware, joyously, drunkenly,
serenely, divinely aware. 

~Henry Miller

This has been a weekend
of paying attention, taking
the time to really notice
and enjoy each moment.
There has been:

- early morning bike rides
to watch the sun rise

-browsing around the
 flea market and only
spending a dollar on
a tin coffee canister
handmade in Oaxaca.

- taking advantage of
the fact my Mother in-law
owns a laundry mat and
washing all the blankets
and comforters in the house;
the temperature maybe in
the 80's, but I am counting
on cooler weather to arrive-
eventually.

- Using the last of this seasons
tomatoes to make salsa

-and the first of the winter
squash to make soup
[I used coconut milk in
place of half and half, and
vegetable stock instead of
chicken]

-Trying to pick up all the
pecans I can before the
squirrels eat them all. I
have watched from my kitchen
window as the little critters
have been enjoying themselves
on my pecans and am getting
tired of running outside every
few minutes to scare them off.
They are on my 'bad list'!

- And of course there has been
knitting, lots and lots of knitting!

How has your weekend been?
