a happy weekend

a very lovely weekend, full of walks to the park, friends and yummy food. . .

• birdies by Spool, part of my Christmas sewing for which i feel considerably impressed with myself for starting so early

• the wading pool at the bay side near home was looking particularly appealing on a warm Saturday morning

• beginning the 1st pair of Norwegian fair isle mittens, using horribly sticky yarn which i need to banish from my stash

• Lizzie's chickens. always a big hit with BB, unless she is having a snack and they begin to stalk her

• tea towels (see Things to do. . .) laundered, folded and ready for re purposing

• the Edible Landscapes Nursery at Northy Street City Farm, a permaculture farm in the city
  

• the beautiful violet-purple of a Jacaranda tree, which are all gloriously in full bloom at the moment

• sauteing leek and mushroom for my pie, which was served Saturday night as part of a belated Thanksgiving dinner

• Sunday, was a very windy day, perfect for flying kites. BB and i took in the sights at the Kite Flying Society meeting. yes! such a thing exists. BB wants in.

Hooray for a very lovely weekend!
