Juno

the blizzard of 2015

as in Alaska weather

hit us hard

we were snowed in Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

Roads closed, schools cancelled, government and town offices closed

~
Honestly, I am still a bit fragmented from all of it

I can't seem to get my thoughts together

~
Yesterday afternoon, I went out snowshoeing

through the path in the wood

it was bright and beautiful

and still and serene

one could imagine they were the only person on earth

when the wood looks like that

untouched

~
this morning they are telling us that there is more snow on the way

but only a few inches

just enough to cover everything up again

~

We will have the boys with us this weekend

it has been quite a while since they've been here

we will take them out snowshoeing

    Your winter wonderland photo is stark and stunning. I can imagine your quite snowy walk. Lovely, but I can also see how you'll be ready for a bit less winter.

    Sorry you were caught in all that! Your comment about snowshoeing though was lovely...the world must seem pristine and calm when out in the deep snowy woods like that! Loved the photo.

    that photo is just BEAUTIFUL!!! seriously! we still haven't had any snow and i laugh when you say that you are expecting a little more but "just a few inches" ha, that alone would shut us down! so how much did you end up with? i hope you had a great time with the boys!! thank you for linking and i am very sorry it took me so long to visit you!!

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.

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
