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 gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
