16 August
caesar's palace
morning glory
silly human, silly human race
the first morning glory flower greets the day
we have a porch garden
it looks out over the sea and receives both early morning and late afternoon sunlight
in the middle of the day the sun is above the roof of the porch and so it's well shaded
our house sits in sort of a three pronged fork with beaches on either side and a small park in the middle.
so we have a grassy area to play in but we don't have to mow it

There are white caps on the sound and i counted at least 10 kite-surfers!
some days they gather there and the the more experienced surfers teach the new comers the sport.

Baked beans were in the oven all day and the whole house smelled like Laura Ingalls Wilder had
been here. I keep expecting to hear pa on he fiddle.

It was very windy here yesterday.
When my daughters were still quite small we used to call these rather blustery days.
That is what Winnie the Pooh called them. And so of course, so did we.
one of us would say to the other
"hmmm....it's rather a blustery day today"
and the other would reply
"why yes, so it is. What would you like to do today?"
blustery days are good days for walking through the fields and wood nearby or going for a bike ride.
good days for opening the windows and letting the clean fresh air sweep through the house.
hanging out laundry days
watching the white caps on the waves kind of days
baking days
warm cookies always taste better on blustery days.

your place sounds idyllic and beautiful just as these shots are..I still say 'blustery' and I like our word far more than the french one 'venteux', this is a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteNice old fence . I like this kind of fences. Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures- love the fence.
ReplyDeleteLove the rugged woods of the fence. Great scene in sepia tones.
ReplyDeleteChilly here too! And the baked beans sound delish. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post ...feels almost like I was there :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post. Sitting on your porch (sounds lovely) drinking tea and watching the kite surfers -- sounds pretty close to perfect to me. There is something special about Morning Glories ... I remember my granny telling me -- "good morning, glory". Baked beans (yum) and Winnie The Pooh ... loved your literary references. Go bake the cookies!
ReplyDeletevery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice picture of a fence...I am always a sucker for these old fences.
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to see kite-surfers off the front porch. Not a scene we can enjoy in the mid-west.
ReplyDeleteI have a yummy baked bean recipe and have not made one batch this summer. The Husband is not a bean eater and my recipe makes a big batch.
The last month has been cooler than normal for us. The mornings can be quite brisk. This week we have had a lot of heavy fog. The weatherman says back to the 90's for the next week.
nice shot.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you live in paradise! Lovely images and words.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Your place sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice narrative. Makes me feel warm and snuggly. Nice shot of the fence.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a very beautiful place....splendid evocative poem...excellent!
ReplyDeleteYour words were so comforting...everyday things (and good memories) are the most special things. Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the edit on the fence shot...very old time feel to it! We are enjoying some cooler temps here in S.Central Pa as well. I wonder if we will have an early fall!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet your porch garden is a whole lot easier to care for - it sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou bloom is gorgeous and love the old wooden fence.
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful morning glory. Mine is blue and is always excited to see one every day. ^_^

If I lived in a place that like, I would never leave. Sounds so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLovely post. The home we live has morning glories that come back every year after dropping seeds from the year before. I started planting moon flowers with them. Your post gave me a warm, loving feeling while reading. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeletethe idea of a porch garden really appeals to me. I've always wanted a house with a wrap porch, a generous one.
ReplyDeletelovely narrative.
You painted a beautiful picture of where you live....Life by the sea has got to be wonderful....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Post - Wishing you an abundance of Blustery Days!
ReplyDeleteIt's a blustery day here today! That's a lovely descriptive word and a lovely descriptive post.
ReplyDeleteAhh...painting a picture with poetry. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! The morning glory and the fence images give a sense of how wonderful your home must be.
