the good

in the evening as joe and i sat with the windows open to the porch

i heard a different bird at the feeder

when I got up to investigate i saw the goldfinches

well, there was such a glorious back-show

of setting sun that it was difficult to make out that they were, indeed, goldfinches

I took a few pictures and didn't even see the second one 

until I looked at the image on my lap-top




I have been trying to entice those goldfinches 

to our porch for a few years...

now that they know it is good here

they will come back every season.

the fun

I made my first ice coffee of the season lastnight

and I am drinking it out of a mason jar

with a straw!

lupines are up in the gardens

soon there will be blossoms!

    I love Lupines! Do you know the story Miss Rumphius?

    Lovely! I like how the bird on top is sort of blended in like a chameleon would do. Cool!

    I love your edit on your bird shot. Just yesterday I was sitting by the back door reminiscing the days when our bird feeder was filled with this and that bird - but since the neighbor's herd of feral cats claimed our fenced in area as their safe haven, we no longer entice birds for fear of their ultimate 'last meal'.

    The gold finches are cute! What kind of coffee do you use for your iced coffee? Am looking for a good recipe:) Enjoy your week!

    What a wonderful shot of the goldfinches at the feeder - that's a 'keeper'!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
