10 October




the autumn here on this rather tiny island has been warm thus far

seed pods intermingle with fresh blooms

in the garden

first frost should hit in a week or so

all blossoms will bend

those seeds that have hidden away in there little pod homes

will fall to the earth 

and lie in waiting

the whole winter through

    A really great image to show the changing of the seasons. You should link this up with Friday My Town Shoot Out. This weeks theme is close-up and this fits perfectly. You can find the link on my blog. Take care!

    Such a good reminder, one that I need: winter is necessary for the new seeds of spring to sprout. Still, it's a little sad when the seeds and flowers all drop, isn't it? I miss their color.

    Love this gorgeous shot! We have these yellow coreopsis all over the place this year because of late rains. In the fields ditches and everywhere.

    First frost hit here last night. Your beautiful shot has reminded me that I need to head out to the garden today and see what finds are waiting for me.

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
