4 September





Joe and I have been walking the beach at sunrise 

it looks as if he is walking on another planet



 he got a few photos of me as well

Which is sort of nice because when you are the "paparazzi" of the family...

you are pretty much always invisible.



I was with my mum and my daughter on Saturday at the last muster of the season. 

Bonnie's boyfriend is on the team from Newbury. MA, where they live. 

I grew up in Marblehead, MA, which is where the muster was held. 

-Newbury won the season championship!-

After the muster the Gerry 5 (Marbehead's team)

hosted a fish fry for all participants.

I love these old fashioned fireman musters!



figs are in season at the local market





so long August....

    I love the shot you captured of your hubby. Brilliant. Love me some figs too. Ours are not ready yet thanks to the late start in the season and weather, but hopefully they will be done before we get a frost.

    the sun and the moon have been glorious this week as they've risen and fallen ...

    may the weekend offer us the same graces ...

    That top shot with your husband really does look like it's a sci-fi pic! The firemen's muster sounds like a lot of fun.

    Love those beach pictures! As the photographer around here, I know how it is to never have photos of yourself. That picture your hubby took of you is a good one.
    muster: it's always good to be prepared :)

    Your bowl with figs look so pretty. I don't think I have ever eaten fresh figs.

    How nice to have a photo of you. As I am the photographer in my family, I don't have a lot of "me" photos either. However, I just bought a selfie stick so hope to change 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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
