Weekends

Well well well. This weekend was quiet! I guess when you hear landscaping equipment for three days in a row you notice the silence and welcome it. I felt so relaxed. This morning they will be here by 8 a.m. to start up the noise and will be here until 3:30 p.m. They hope to be done by Wednesday but we'll see about that, it looks to me like Thursday might be the last day.

The quote was for a 20 ft boulder wall but the wall builders said it was about 60 feet long... Sounds like the kind of eyeballing measuring that I do with yarn!

Saturday my husband made curry and I sat and relaxed while he labored away. We always get into it when he declares how tired he is. I respond that I cook everyday. Did you know that his cooking is more tiring than mine?

In the above photo he was saying take the picture over and over because I wanted it to be just right. I was laughing too much over that. So the photo is candid in a way. Our walk on Sunday morning was a humid walk (not a fan). Deep down I am wishing for cooler air but I know that's going to be a while so I keep squashing that wish.

I had a zoom meeting with my daughter and son in law, it was so good to see them. Maybe we will see them next weekend for a day visit but she is still watching the numbers and assessing the risks of getting together. It's nice to know that our visit will be happening one day soon. I miss them.

The last shawl with gradient yarn is making steady progress. This was in an extended time out because I was focusing on other projects. The main body of the shawl is garter stitch but because of the silk content the stitches are slippery and so I have to watch what I do.
