Weekends in my world aren't a lot different than weekdays. I did take a couple of decent photos this weekend, so I can use them to tell you about my mostly dull weekend. Let's see what I can come up with.
John was talking to his brother at his house and their conversation was getting a bit boring for me so I took a little walk into the woods. I was lucky enough to see this hawk, but I wasn't sure what kind it was. Google tells me that it's a red-shouldered hawk and I think it's quite beautiful.
I also saw bare fields and plenty of deer eating in those bare fields on my way back. I'm surprised at how fast the snow is melting, but I guess that's what happens when the temperatures reach 50. We do have a few chilly days before it warms up again. I wonder if the warmup is here to stay? Probably not, but the rain that is predicted for this warmer week is far better than snow.
Speaking of deer, I made venison chili in the crockpot on Sunday. I don't mind cooking but half the battle is deciding what to make. Chili is easy to put together and it's a good meal with cornbread. I hope there are leftovers because I don't know what to make for dinner tonight (or the rest of the week).
The only other thing of note that I did this weekend besides knitting and reading was search for a rechargeable stick vacuum that works on both carpet and bare floors. Jess has one that I've used to pick up kitty litter that's gotten tracked around but it barely works on carpets. I have this idea that I might clean more if my vacuum wasn't so heavy and cumbersome to lug upstairs. I found a couple possibilities on Amazon, but I'm not sure. So if you have any recommendations, please let me know. There's no guarantee that I will clean any more even if it's easier, but there is always a small chance.
I hope you had a good weekend and that it was somewhat warmer in your neighborhood!
