Inspired by the lovely Ann's "weekends are for...." posts, and in an effort to be more organized in my week day writing here on Pollywog Creek, I'm going to begin publishing a "weekend wanderings..." post on Saturdays.
From the very beginning, my blogging philosophy has been one of "blogging without obligation". I have no desire to receive financial benefits from blogging, but in fairness to those I collaborate with on other projects and for my own benefit, my blogging needs to be a bit more disciplined.
I'm not sure how that will look yet, but I can almost guarantee that there will be much tweaking and re-arranging before it feels right and settled.
"Weekend wanderings..." will be personal and newsy and with unrelated photos that didn't make the "cut", but I love them anyway and I may as well post them here for you to love or not-love, as well.
"Weekend wanderings..." will be informal - much like the way we live. We try to finish our chores and cook during the week and have simple meals and leftovers to eat for the weekend. It doesn't always work out that way, but we try. Our weekends are for naps and watching baseball and my favorite morning of the whole week - when Louis cooks breakfast and we ride for nearly an hour to church while listening to music and then spend the morning in fellowship and worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Oh, how I love the Body of Christ.
"Weekend wanderings..." might be the place I update my health status from time to time, rather than the separate blog I started last winter and have since abandoned. It simply wasn't good for me to give those issues that much attention.
Maybe we can talk about what books we are reading here on "weekend wanderings..." I won two books this week in separate drawings: Branded: Sharing Jesus With A Consumer Culture by Tim Sinclair, and Veneer: Living Deeply In A Surface Society by Timothy Willard and Jason Locy. I hope to finish reading them this weekend and then tell you about them next weekend.
I'd love to know what your weekends are like. Do you cook large meals? Read books and takes naps? Go to the movies?

Love your pics, especially the squirrel! Weekend Wanderings sounds good to me, Pat. My weekends tend to look just like my weeks, except we don't go to the Y. I need to change that.
Jiminy, Pat - I think you suspect what my weekends involve! Like much of the rest of the world, my weekends are the shift from my 40 hour work week to my "other job" - grocery shopping, WalMart runs, meal planning, washing/drying/folding a dozen loads of clothes, making a valiant stab a cleaning my house, herding cats (no really - actual cats)... You have been granted a sweet time to observe, write, think, reflect and pray. I'm your audience - looking in your virtual window at the serenity you share with those of us who count five minutes alone in the bathroom as a treasure!;)
I am with Betsy. My weekends are for grocery shopping and catching up on everything else I cannot do during the week when I am at work. Thankfully my hubby only works four days a week so Wednesdays are off...but still my energy cannot take too much extra. Wish I were younger!!!
I love the weekend idea. Very good and I love the pictures too. This weekend here at Serenity Acres...Nathan is home and Aaron and his family will soon arrive. So that means Mama's in the kitchen today! I hope your weekend is blessed my friend!
What type of bird is that? I think ALL of these would "make the cut" in my book.
Saturday is for working in the flowerbeds, if the humidity and heat is not too bad. Possibly for food shopping if I didn't do it earlier. But Sunday is for special worship, not just the everyday worship... worship with others. Then the almost obligatory, ;), Sunday afternoon nap. As I get older, the nap becomes more and more looked forward to.
I like the concept of weekend wonderings..Also that you will post pictures that you find interesting and the general public may not. I have a lot of pics like that, that just intrigue me. I have abandoned a few blogs and our good Lord keeps me plodding along when discouragement sets in. I really enjoy your photos!
