 a walk on the beach of a morning


some type of sea creature drills tiny holes

in the clam shells

so that they can get in there and eat up all that scrumptious clammy goodness




this makes things most convenient for creating banners

at the dining room table in the fading daylight

after chores are done

I am ever so thankful for this life I have been blessed with

Joe, and my beautiful girls, and his wonderful boys...

i am so grateful to be able to share my time with them here....

baskets full of blessings

    How pretty :) This reminded me of last summer when I was amazed at some carpenter bees who drilled perfect round holes into a little door outside leading to storage under a porch. The perfect symmetry of their work as well as your little creatures : )

    So much we have to be grateful for and the challenge is remembering to express it.

    What a wonderful place to live with all the beauty of the beach. I really like the shells hanging on the twine. Thanks for visiting my ABC Wed. post.

    Oh, it must be at certain places that the hole maker lives - because I have a mosaic made from shells, and none of them have a hole:) the shells with the cords are such an endearing sight!

    I often wondered how the little hole was made on the shells. I never thought about it being a bird or something like that. Thank's for taking us on a walk along the ocean shore.

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
