Some rainy Sunday - Ein verregneter Sonntag

We woke up to rain. Not just some rain, it came pouring down. And it wasn't going to stop. Our initial plans of spending the day outside in a park at a circus festival were drained. 

Es regnete in Strömen als wir heute Morgen das erste Mal aus dem Fenster schauten und nun, viele Stunden später, tut es das immer noch. Das Gauklerfest in einem Park, zu dem wir eigentlich hatten gehen wollen fiel leider ins Wasser.  

Instead there was some indoor football (not much longer of that, his kicking is getting stronger by the day), knitting and singing. Finally I also found time to try my new cutter, dear what a difference it makes to my old, blunt sciccors. And I wrote that poem onto a cup with a very fine porcelain marker. Somehow I like it.

Stattdessen wurde Wohnzimmer-Fussball gespielt (allerdings nicht mehr lange, seine Schüsse werden langsam ziemlich kräftig), gestrickt und gesungen. Ich habe auch endlich die Zeit gefunden, meinen neuen Rollschneider (hab gerade keine Ahnung wie das Ding offiziell heißt) auszuprobieren. Was für ein Unterschied zu meiner alten stumpfen Schere. Und dann habe ich noch das Gedicht mit einem sehr feinen Porzellan-Marker auf eine Tasse geschrieben. Irgendwie gefällt mir das.

Then I found out that Lori is back from Namibia and we spend a long time watching lots of breathtaking pictures on her blog. Welcome back dear Lori! So good to hear from you again and take part in your beautiful adventures. Aaron was very exhited about your pictures too :-)

Sunday of Plenty

Some days just feel so much larger than others, larger as in so much more stuff fits into that day than into an average one. I really don't know how that happens. If it all depends on the way you start your day? Possibly starting the day with freshly bakes scones helps? What do you think?

A walk after breakfast with some brought in lilacs (?) might also do the trick...

A day like that certainly needs a lot of yarn, yummy colors, maybe some dyeing even, no harm in that!

Definately giving some extra special moment to your enlarged day will be having a good chat with your Papa under a blanket without Mama to see you. Papa needs lots and lots of soccer on telly on a day like that and some running during Aarons nap time.

Mama needs this:

Yes! Enjoying my new spinning wheel, at the balcony, so much! With a cute little boy discovering his toes showing out of his new summer shoes, how weird...

And anyway, sunday living at the balcony, never to be underestimated! Ooops, there's been a road accident... (no hurt feelings here, we have done the chalk drawings way earlier, I don' think he even recognized that stickmann, so it just looks a bit evil in the picture).

Some late spring seeding of Physalis... (late, since I forgot the seeds in the freezer. Because on the package it said to give them two weeks of frost, it might have been a few more, I hope they survived...)

Of course a day like that needs good, fresh food. We had some asparagus-potato salat with chives, olive oil and a little salt. Sooooo yummy!

Knitting? Sure there has been a wee bit of that too. (Never mind my toe nails need some up doing...)

But even a day full of plenty like that comes to an end. Too bad I can't take my wheel to bed with me, so here it is once more. I am so in love :-)

How has been your weekend? I hope to see you over at Amandas for Weekending!

Edit: happyly joing in Woolly Wednesday this month too.

Some time back, Soulemama came up with this wonderful tradition:

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. -
