 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.

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
