WEEKENDING

Always walk through life as if
you have something new to
learn and you will.

~Vernon Howard

This weekend there was
quite a bit of new skill
learning as I knit to finish
the bonnet I was test knitting
for Liz. The pattern calls for
doing a provisional cast on,
I Cord, wrap and turn short rows
and garter stitch grafting, all
things I had never done until
now. I am amazed at just how
easy all these were to learn
and am so proud of myself
to have added them to my
knitting skills. Have I told
you just how much I love
knitting? Maybe a little too
much  ;)

I discovered berries already
on the vines along the ditch
banks which seems a little
early to me.

And I found I like decorating
with garden plants just as much
as flowers, and I think I like
tin cans much better than glass
vase.

The fig tree is starting to
leaf  which always makes
me smile since figs are my
all time favorite fruit, although
I won't see any fruit until July.

I watched Lost Horizon,
a favorite, although I have
only seen it three times and
had pancakes for dinner
[a once in awhile special
treat].

All the windows are open
and the sound of birds and
frogs are filling the air. We
are suppose to be near 80
degrees all week and I noticed
on my walk  this morning
that the sand gnats are out
so I think the hot weather
[and humidity] can't be far
behind.

I hope you had a great weekend
and are in for a great week.
