my beautiful Bonnie came to visit on Tuesday.

I made pizza and salad and cake
and
 we drank tea out of fancy teacups

~ 2 ~
we spent hours and hours walking on the beach

~ 3 ~  
she went home with a car full of big shells and big rocks
she's a kook.....
can't imagine where she gets it from

the house across the street has a white flowering tree 

which our bedroom window frames perfectly

It makes me so happy to see our window filled with beautiful white blossoms

the whole world seems especially pretty this spring.

Maybe it's because of the ferocious winter...

I don't know -  but it sure is nice

    I read this yesterday while on the treadmill but am just now getting back to comment! Yes! To beautiful daughters. And that view out your bedroom window ... well, let's just say I have window envy.

    The best part of this is 'she came home for a visit'. Second is 'long walks on the beach'. You had a great week.

    What a fun day you had. I just love the way you write, my friend.

    Your title name fits you perfectly, a spirit of simplicity.

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.

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
