So I have worked hard all week and I have one day - today - before I go out of town again. I woke up to fabulous sun rays streaming through the side-cracks of my blinds reminding me that today will be a gorgeous day. I have some tasks I am supposed to accomplish such as: run my 16 km run, weed my flower beds, work on the side of our house that now has weeds the size of trees growing, pack, .... you get the picture. I think many of those things will get accomplished, however I could not help taking a time out this morning to enjoy my garden and sneak in a few rows of my stripey socks. I don't know too many knitters who could resist the sweet sounds of Koigu yarn calling out to be knitted.Although I dread having to get on a plane tomorrow - again - I know that on Tuesday night I come back to FIVE DAYS OFF. Just so you all know, I am reading your blogs when I can although I have been slower with my comments. I try to fit them in between 'tasks'. Hope you all have a great week.

It sounds like a nice day with a perfect blend of dutiful production as well as satisfaction. Have a safe trip.
I love the peonies. Mmm mm mm.
I *love* your mug! You look so relaxed sitting there enjoying your quiet morning.
I never mastered the metric system but 16 kms sounds like a lot ~ hope you can nip into a cafe for a coffee to revive yourself if it get to be a bit much.
Weeds the size of trees ~ how familiar I am with those! I would just ignore them and focus on your pretty flowers ~ only so much time in a day.
Ahhh, your peonies are blooming and they're beautiful. Isn't it wonderful to sit out in the sun and enjoy the moment? Your yarn is beautiful! And 16 kms??? I'll be dead before I can run that far. D.E.A.D!!! You're amazing!
Hope you have a great time on your five days off.
Wow. You are wonder woman. Did you get a new camera yet?
Enjoy your break! Your garden looks amazing. It is a shame when work prevents you from doing all the things you want to do.
Enjoy your break day, Raina... look very relaxed and happy there in the sun in your beautiful garden. Lovely knitting in progress... and 16 km--you are a wonder! Have a safe and happy trip--you'll be home soon. :o) Many thanks for the lovely comment you left at my place. Happy Days, my friend((HUGS))
enjoy the peacefulness...the weeds will be there for you when you want ;]
Those peonies are beautiful.
Safe travels and Tuesday will be here before you know it.. ahhh 5 full days off. Fantastic!
looks like a BLISSFUL morning I must say. Those peonies are just too pretty.
I hope your travels are safe and when you return, relax!
so nice you took time to recharge, and the koigu could come with you! it is gorgeous yarn!
Glad you got the important stuff in first
what a lovely blog, It is my first time visiting your space, not too many blogs from Canada or Quebec I find, I'm from Easthern Towships about 1 hour and a half from Montreal!!!
See you soon!
You deserve a lot more than 5 days!
I am enthralled by the idea of a pink penguin tale. You've got my mind spinning...
sun and backyard knitting. it doesn't get much better!
Safe travels!
Glad things will be slowly down a little soon. Your day off does sound pretty full though - hope you managed a few more rows with the Koigu!
btw...love your mug!
you haqve so much happening! it is nice to be here in your space again raina---i hope all goes well with some big deep breaths in between!
I hope you ended up having a great day before your traveling! And I hope you enjoy your 5 days off---sounds wonderful!
Beautiful socks and what a relaxing way to start the morning! There's definitely not any running going on down here. The humidity is so high, they might as well call it swimming.
You must be near your 4 days off now? I hope you get time to relax and knit. :)
hope you are enjoying your time off (with koigu, of course). :)
That sun, those flowers, those lovely stripey socks. What a beautiful scene!
