26 October




the good
I love the way the earth turns into the warm colors of Autumn

everything all auburn and gold

the random

once in a while my neighbor leaves treats at our back door.

the other day I came home to a basket of fresh pears.


the fun

Saturday I volunteered at the church bazaar.

I baked molasses cookies the night before and divided them equally into little baggies.

I dropped them off at the bake sale table at 8:30 and headed over to man the housewares section.

We shut down at about 1:00 and I was home and ready for a nap at about 2:00.

It was more fun than I thought it would be....

I'm pretty sure that means I am old and probably boring. 



The dune grasses are dying down and bittersweet is taking over the path to the beach.

I love the wild spaces. 

I hope they never "pretty up" this path. 

I can see it from my windows and from the porch. 

I love to watch it change with the seasons.


I have a bit of hydrangea and Japanese lanterns in an old earthenware bowl

which I've set on the kitchen table.

it all looks very fall-ish.

The good, the random, the fun
sharing his beauty
Monday musings
Monday mellow yellow
making your home sing

    We're starting to get some Fall'ish color here in Georgia. My favorite season, by far!

    I must confess, I've gotten into the habit of looking for your blog in the link-ups. Your eye for beauty slays me. Gotta figure out how to subscribe (said the Luddite blogger who can barely find the "publish" button on her own blog).

    Your words and images are so lovely and capture the spirit of the season.

    The path I walk through the woods around the pond is full of bittersweet just now and I love it. I've been spending as much time as I can outdoors taking in the gorgeous foliage, which somehow seems brighter to me this year. The church bazaar sounds like a fun time to me! And, treat leaving neighbors are the very best kind, aren't they? Your earthenware bowl of autumn is splendid!

    I'm with you ~ love the shades of autumn. The bolds are breathtaking and the more subtle golds, beiges and browns are so very soothing.

    Lovely shades of autumn and I'm looking forward to our Christmas church bazaars. I had to smile when you said you felt like a nap after helping, I feel that way after my turn in the church nursery. It's a great baby/toddler fix for a grandmother but how they can tire one out!

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
