My mum had an impromptu lobster dinner the other night

Joe and I, my brother and his girlfriend, and my mum

It was delicious!!


Before we went to my mum's house 

we went to one of the rocky beaches in Marblehead.

Screeching Lady's Cove....

so named because a very long time ago

a woman who had been captured by pirates

escaped one night when the pirates put ashore

and after drinking and pillaging the village of Marblehead

they came back and found her on the beach and killed her

to this day on stormy nights she can be heard screaming


is a link to the story






There were a great many hermit crabs....

I didn't get a photo of any of them, but I did capture the hunt.


I was standing knee deep in the water when I took this picture

of the lighthouse across the harbor.




It happened that there were a great many boats in the water that afternoon.

There may have been a race going on...I'm not sure.

But there were very pretty to look at.

    Loved your seaside photos, especially the last one! Looks like a wonderful afternoon for everyone, especially those two in the water!

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
