1 September





August has been an unimaginable month for us.


 filled with the company of our family and friends

our beautiful home

our love for each other

we've taken stock of how blessed we are in our lives right now

and we've been filled with joy this summer

many evenings we are out on the porch enjoying a spectacular view of the sunset

playing a little guitar and watching the world go by

this is a view of that

    What a lovely late-summer image! I like the way you've made that power pole a vital element of the composition. I'm always trying to get them out of my frame, but you've really used it to good advantage. I'm visiting from Photo-Heart Connection.

    I love the simplicity and the beauty. The scene you see from your porch, made even more beautiful by your description. This is what photograph from the heart is all about! Thanks for sharing in the Photo-Heart Connection.

    Fabulous view. I'm glad you've taken the time to enjoy it, even better with friends. What is it about a sunset that begs to be viewed? They are entrancing and grow more so the older we get.

    When you wrote that it's been unimaginable, I worried for a second until I was relieved by your comforting words and activities. How wonderful to appreciate what is around you, even what is ordinary, for it's beauty. :)

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
