After the boys leave I often see new words that they wrote on the sly

while they where here.

Last week I noticed the word Poop

spelled out using a P from another word....pretty funny if you ask me.

    Smiling. Most years I scrabblize the words "Give Thanks" somewhere in the month of November, and my boys fiddle with it. Even my big guy, married, with a boy of his own can't resist messing with my messages. Life with boys . . .

    Kids! At Christmastime, I used to put up large wood letters that spelled NOEL. My kids would invariably change them to read LENO or LEON. Love that Chinese lantern photo!

    What a pretty vase of chinese lanterns ... they look stunning in the white vase. And I like the freestyle Scrabble game. Your lads must have been laughing up their sleeves imaging when you read their latest addition. Haha

    Wishing you a beautiful Monday ... it's snowy here this morning.

    Your photos are to me like poems; they capture something deep and lovely about the way you see life.
    It sounds like you had a fun weekend with your family. ♥

    I like the game of scrabble laid out for the one photo and the yellow berries look like tiny apples.

    I like all your shots. The barn is really great and the berries and orange flowers are pretty. The scrabble shot is quite unique.

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
