21 November





I have been very ill with bi-lateral pneumonia these past three weeks.

While I have not been able to go outside much I have been able to

notice the changes that November brings to our rather tiny island. 

The Atlantic has changed to a darker and less inviting color 

the scrub brush along the dunes has changed color as well

slowly the golds and russets of October

have given over to the browns and blacks and grays of 

November

I am recovering slowly but I tire very easily.

I plan my days carefully so as to get the most done

before I have to come home and rest.

It is a good time to take stock and be thankful

for the beauty that surrounds me

    Oh how awful to be so sick. Sometimes though that slow down time can be a blessing in disguise. But I hate to be sick too, so many things to do never enough time.

    So sorry to hear that you have been ill, and glad to hear you are on the mend. Clearly, even in the midst of not feeling well, you sought art for your healing - looking for beauty, recording your observations. A blessing. Your photo brings me a moment's peace - and I need this today.

    Oh, I am indeed sorry to hear that you've had pneumonia, which can be so serious and sometimes hard to shake. Sending healing thoughts to you! I look forward to when you return to your posting in good health because it's one of my favorites.

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

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
