As I was hoping, it was a calm, relaxing weekend. I even slept in a little on Sunday when Ruthie didn't wake up until 6:20! It was colder but sunny, so I had the blinds of the family room open in the afternoons while Ruthie napped, and I noticed it was still a little light out when I took her out for her last potty break on Saturday evening.
So what did I do with my quiet weekend? I had a nice dinner with my side of the family on Friday. I got in two long walks on my own. I finished two library books. I finished the first sock of a pair (and started the second):
and I put in at least half a dozen rounds on my sweater, including the final increase round:
I snipped some daffodils from outside and put them in a vase on the kitchen counter. I took my time drinking my coffee in the mornings. I did the household chores that needed to be done but no more, and I snoozed a little in the afternoons when I was reading and my eyelids started to get heavy. I enjoyed the calm and quiet. It was exactly the weekend I needed, especially with a holiday week ahead!
Now that sounds like a just perfect weekend! Mine involved a lot of running around (mostly because of heading over to C&M's twice a day to feed Talbot, but also errands). Still, I found time to sit quietly with my knitting or stitching and to do some reading...and also nap a little. Nice that Ruthie let you sleep in a little bit!
