21 December







mellow is a pinecone
from a jack pine tree

tossed onto a tablecloth that my nana once used

illuminated by morning sunlight
blessing our season with its tiny grace

    My husband just brought me back about five pinecones when he took a hike recently. How special that you still have your nana's tablecloth. I loved your comment about all you want around your Christmas tree is your loved ones, as I am very close to my family too. It was my favorite comment of all.

    Merry Christmas.

    At first glance, the tablecloth looked like a bed of snow! :)

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

Shining through the branches of a big old pine tree

  When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he  looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber.  My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums.  I had them up for dinner one night. This isn’t the greatest picture of her...I think I caught her in mid-chew. Sunday I met with both of my daughters and my grandchildren. We were the only ones in the pizza place and felt comfortable taking our masks off while we ate. It was the first time we’ve all been together in such a very long time. It brought me to tears.  I rise before the sun most mornings and see it coming up over the neighboring houses like ribbons of orange and indigo light.

I’m not sure how old it is but can imagine the changes it has seen from it’s lofty view of the harbour.  Image-in-ing    Pictorial Tuesday Our world Tuesday   Nature notes My corner of the world Community Global You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
