2 January





morning sunlight on a table in the dining room

imagine if the authors of these books were really sitting about the table

eating cheeses and drinking wine and ale

i should like to share in dining room conversation

with Jane Austen, Rudyard Kipling and J.R.R. Tolkien

    I don't think I'd have much to say to these erudite people!

    That would be fabulous, if true! I think part of me is seeking this in real life.

    Oh that would be just wonderful! What splendid conversation. And beautiful photo. It makes my imagination work overtime. And that's a good thing. :)

    What an erudite group that would be! This time of year, it takes the little things: sunlight coming into the house to brighten dark corners.

    Now, wouldn't that be something! Can I come too, if I promise to sit quietly over by the wall?

    Your photo is stunning your words are a delight! You've chosen heady company and they are great choices, I'd also like to sit with Proust, Nostradamus and Lewis Carroll.

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

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
