I can't help but notice there has been a lot of color in my photos lately - I think the excitement of spring's arrival invaded my camera finger. Today it's raining and the whole weekend is supposed to be cold. I am under the weather so I think a more 'muted' tone is appropriate. I ran another half-marathon last weekend and bettered my running time by 25 minutes from my last race, but I feel tired. I will blame the lethargy on the Babe because he was really sick last week and obviously he felt the need to share the love :)Rainy weekends are a sign to slow down, do some knitting, and drink some really nice tea. There are projects I am thinking about and some new yarn might make these projects a reality ... at some point. Maybe a trip to my favorite yarn store is in order tomorrow.
Happy weekend.

Send some slow days my way please. Your photos make me want to relax.
love the pictures..enjoy the slow pace and get yourself better soon!
Oh yes you have the perfect recipe for making a success of a rainy weekend - and so many congratulations on your half marathon last weekend - that is a great improvement in your time - you definitely deserve a rest after that :)
Congrats on the improvement of your time race!
And good shopping and have a nice weekend
Ah, slow days. Yes! The best! Happy Weekend!
Ach, nasty viruses. GS Conor, being the nice boy he is, shared his last with me. I hope you feel better soon.
I was just admiring a pristine white water lily on another blog, I'm quite partial to the white blossoms... then I pop over here and treated to more! (Kitty blossom included :^)
Have a lovely calm weekend and feel well soon!
I hope you are enjoying your rainy weekend and taking some time to relax. Beautiful images, so still and peaceful.
Slow is good...and especially on the weekends :o) Hope your Babe is feeling better, and you too! ((HUGS))
Hope you feel better soon, rain will pass and color will come back... your photos are always lovely, and never dull:)
WOW! a 25 minute improvement is awesome! congrats :)
twenty-five minutes is really good!!!! Wow! I'm impressed. You make rainy weekends seem romantic. Hope your weekend was cheery!
Tea and knitting sound like quite the best remedy!
Well done on the half marathon.
Slow days are just lovely, We didn't get any this weekend but glad you did. Hope you soon feel better. Jane x
Love the pictures, especially the one of kitty. :-)
I hope your weekend was full of cozy blankets, warm tea, and a little knitting too!
Congrats on the awesome time from your race :)
I love the picture of your cat. I hope you don't catch any bugs and feel better soon. The results of your race are great ...25 minutes is loads! I hope you bought some lovely yarn.
Nothing like a trip to the wool shop to perk you up. Hope you made it and got something yummy which helped make you feel a bit better. (I'm afraid my 'thank you' item hasn't left here yet. It's currently stuck in my crafty cupboard behind a barricade of junk which surfaced as we were emptying each room to re-decorate. It will make it's way to you eventually!)
Hope you are feeling more like yourself by now, take care.
i hope your weekend has been really slow.... hugs

beautiful s today. i always love all of your shots. beautiful.
love the flowers and the sleeping kitty! really peaceful feeling there.
What a serene post! I love your color photos but you are so talented with the camera that your muted pictures are just as lovely.
I hope everyone has recovered and is feeling better now! Looking forward to what you might have discovered at your LYS.
I love slow days. :)
you say " i ran another marathon" like, oh you know it's something to do the weekend isn't it. Come on that is amazing!!!
No wonder you are tired. well done though, must be such a sense of achhievement.
Beautiful shots. I love the one with kitteh in it!
Impressed that you ran another half marathon and even more impressed that you shaved off 25 minutes from your time!! Congrats! How many more on the schedule for this year?
Trying to make my body move and get running again. No time the month I was gone so it's back to starting over (not completely but that's what it feels like!).
Brilliant improvement on your time Raina! My first half is at the end of August but my cold has really affected my training - fingers crossed I'll be better soon.
