25 July


the good

In the morning I rise early....

Joe puts the coffee water on and I add the coffee grounds to the french press

I start to build the lunch I will bring to work....

cucumber, orange peppers, cherry tomatoes, chick-peas, and fresh mozzarella

When the lunch is all packed and the coffee has been drunk....

I walk across the street to the bus stop and head into the city for work




the fun

kite surfing at sunset

The tide and wind conditions must have been just perfect on Friday afternoon.

There were so many kite surfers out at Dog beach!





the random

fog-walking over the brambles of wild rose hips

toward home

 


My wild love went riding
she rode to the sea
she gathered together
some shells for her head
she rode and she rode on
she rode for a while
then stopped for an evening
and lay her head down

-Jim Morrison


The good, the random, the fun

    The kite surfing looks so amazing! My kids would try it for sure! Like the fog - always have loved fog. Spells romance for me.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

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
