9 September



the cardinals have been coming back to the porch in search of seed

we've seen both the male and the female chirping away out there

but the feeders have been empty most of summer

 i will fill them again now that fall

is in the air

and put some water out there in hopes of attracting the goldfinches that gather at the bird bath 

in the yard

i love the blue feeder you can see behind the geraniums

the light shines through the glass in such a pretty way


all summer long it's been hanging there with no seed in it at all










the beaches were just about empty on labor day weekend

it was cooler and cloudy


 nice to have the place to myself again

    We too love our beach walks when the tourists have fled.
    Lovely to have you visit Normandy today.

    I'm glad you explained that lovely blue is a bird feeder. I'd have never guessed.

    Happy Blue Monday!

    There are no cardinals here on the island, and I miss the flash of red, especially in winter. Now that September is firmly established, the only tourists are in town. The beaches are empty, and like so many who live on a coastline, I love it best at this time of year. Your last photos say it all.

    We have a few more weeks before the tourists retreat from our shores. I like the peace that descends when they do, although I'm glad they come to enjoy our corner of the world, too. Your photos are lovely, calm and restful.

    Lovely blue. I so miss Cardinals, they are my favorite for color. I have a few toy ones.;-) The beach looks wonderful. Enjoy!

    i def would not mind a walk on the beach....
    funny the wanting to draw in the birds but not putting out seed...or perhaps the birds just eat it that fast eh?

    Have a soft spot for birds, somehow! You've extended a wonderful offering here! Nicely!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
