6 July



the fun

frisbee on the beach






the random

I happened to have my camera in hand as this

seagull flew low past us

with a clam in his beak

in order to open it he will fly up high over the rocks and drop it

then he will swoop back down

lickety-split

and have a little snack


the good

one flat-cap

three good Irish-men






Please consider coming back tomorrow for my first ever meme link-up


a place to share a pause in the day's occupations

and enjoy the pleasantness of a tuesday afternoon

    So beautiful! There's a very special atmosphere in your photos.
    Your link-up sounds lovely. In these weeks I will not be able to participate, but I'd be happy to do it later, towards the end of the summer.
    Have a great week ahead!

    Great photos. The seagull swooping by with the clam is an amazing shot. They are such cheeky birds sometimes.

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.

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
