3 September





in the dining room is the door to the porch. 

we live in a second floor flat surrounded by two beaches, Memorial park, 

the very tiny lowlands parking lot (where the PTO sells Christmas trees and the garden club

offers composting mulch free of charge to island residents), and the softball field.

we are in the middle of a sort of three pronged fork, if you will.

With so much to see outdoors, I find I don't take many pictures indoors. 

I am trying to make that happen more often. 
So - I offer a photograph of the door to the porch.


and, another from last season. 

You can see the dune grasses where the path to dog-beach is.

    It looks like an utterly charming place to live. Glad you moved inside (a bit) with your camera.

    Sounds like you live in a wonderful spot! Must be wonderful to sit on that porch and watch so much of the world go by :)

    Nice light in these shots. There's something rather wistful you've captured there.

    Lovely! I struggle with indoor shots, and am always trying to find the light inside to remedy that!

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
