the random

this little fuzzy bumble was a compete photo-bomb!

He buzzed right into my viewfinder after I started to take focus.




the good


sunrise has been particularly beautiful of late

this one woke me and drew me out to the beach in my jammies




the fun

Joe was home early all last week

so after lunch the four of us walked over to the beach to play in the waves

the water is the perfect temperature...not too cold and not too hot

    I'm guessing the bee wanted you to know he was busy at work! Gorgeous sunrise. Happy Monday!

    What a great shot, even with the photo bombing by the bee.

    The sunrise is gorgeous, as for the bee - it couldn't have worked out better to include it with the yellow flowers.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.

    What a neat meme -- the random, the good, and the fun. I must try it one day. I like all of yours, especially the idea of playing in the waves.

    That is the perfect day when the water is just right, the bumble bee stumbles into your photo - smiles all round I'm sure :)

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
