    Mmmmm, my computer did a skip and a hop, and I'm not sure I left my comment on this post. Mmmmmm...

    Well, I wondered what the bird was, who is camouflaged...?

    And I was so happy with your good news....

    Of all the beauty shown in this post, including the glowing, hand blown bead and artful shot of mussels, the brightest spot is clearly the news that your sister is well.

    Wishing her continued good health,
    Karen

    Stunning photos - I love the mussels and the camouflaged bird, both so beautifully captured. The stem is fascinating - I love how you've textured it - very subtle and delicate.

    The news that the spots are 'pre' cancerous is a bit of sunshine. I wish your sister well! I love the shot of the mussels - love to collect the shells in the summertime and I'm lining a path with crushed shells.

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.

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
