a weekend’s gratitude

This weekend was tummy bug recovery;

cleaning the disaster that was the house after both Dan and I were under the weather;

extra knitting time (cast off and number four);

started sprouts on a window sill;

art with markers, and craft sticks, and glue;

gazing at the bright of the full moon’s face;

enjoyed this which only increased my devotion to the Dames (Judi Dench and Maggie Smith);

Dan off in the morning for our food sort, a van load of goodies to sort and stack;

hilarity from the littlest jay as she learns to trust her walking legs a little more amidst busy siblings.

a grateful home visit to our beloved chiropractor to help a poor girl’s sore neck;

a sudden rush of the I-wanna-tidies;

roasted garlic hummus & veggies by Rachel with BBQ chicken by Dan;

kids settled, then settling myself on the couch for episode 4 and more knitting;

late night tears of laughter over late night texting with a friend I miss;

and surprised by joy in the most unexpected moments (and therefore the very best).

Not quite the weekend we were expecting, but very good indeed.

How was your weekend, lovelies? Hope you find a gentle way to begin the new week – I think we’ll slide into Monday with a treat (with our gluten/dairy free alterations, of course).
