to do

take a walk of an afternoon

in the bright and beautiful sunshine

 "me i'm just the lucky kind

love to hear you say that love is luck

and though we may be blind

love is here to stay and that's enough

someday when we're dreaming

deep in love not a lot to say

then we will remember

things we said today"

    Love the jumping! Fun post. So colorful. I learned a bit -- Oswego and monarda and tea making. I'm always interested in teas/tisanes! Happy Sun Lit Sunday!

    The colors in all of your photos are awesome! I love how lively the jumping picture is! The three one looks like it could have three stories behind it. :)
    I'm personally not a tea person, but I've heard that most types of teas are healthy and just really good for you.
    Have a great day!

    I love your photo art.
    I also confess to a life long obsession with Mary Jane shoes.
    When every one here was loving Elvis I was a Beatles fan.

    What a wonderful moment, the jumpers caught in the midst of their daring move. I like the watercolour look of some other photos. The Beatles did have that certain something. Thanks for bringing their words and your images to Sunlit Sunday.

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
