6 march


me and sally walk the beach


they walked the beach of a morn

and came upon the semblance of a sail

a fellow voyager had built upon the beach

with two sticks

as if to say...

yes

you too can sail upon the sea this day

upon the sea of dreams

open your heart


and set your compass for a distant shore

    This had to have been done, by children.

    Lucky children...

    To have this beautiful rugged coast line, on which to play...

    And to dream...

    a beach a beach my kingdom for a beach
    I love finding remnants of those who have gone before
    I often leave things myself and wonder who will find them

    There has always been, to me, something so poignant about little dinghies and sailboats perched up on the tide line. Love this!

    This is cool. All I can think is how badly I want to turn that little boat over, make a sail, and shoot portraits of little sailors!

    My compass is set, but I think I'll linger for a short while to catch the sea breeze and listen for a sea gull or two.

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
