Busy is the New Norm

That's me - busy as a bee!

It seems to me that life gets busier and busier as we acquire more time behind our belts!

  • The children are gone – lets add some activities.
  • My skills have grown – lets add more.
  • My interests are more diverse – lets learn more.

I don’t believe that I am alone in this situation.  It appears to be a phenomenon shared by many of my friends and acquaintances.

I am just now surfacing from a very busy two week period – whereby I completed only one project – but oh what a project!  I did not take time to blog, beyond the bare minimum.  I still walked on the weekends with my husband and took many pictures – all unshared.  I ate, worked and slept.  There was no cleaning beyond what my husband did.  I knit, and then knit some more – what a wonderful two weeks it was, exhausting and exhilarating all at once!

Right now I am working on two projects – one the second Summer Whimsey for the painting class this summer; and two a pair of socks for the Buffalo Wool Co.

How beautiful!

This last weekend we took a walk through Third St Park and then along part of the walkway that is part of the Trans Canada Trail.  This wasn’t one of our normal walks we usually avoid the busy road areas.  My husband wanted me to see the incredible showing of Lupines along the trail – wildflowers that had been planted on the bypass bank!  Simply amazing as the Lupines are in full bloom right now!

I hope that you are busy as a bee right now and loving what you are doing!

Happy Knitting
