a bowl full of oranges







This lovely bowl full of citrus reminds me that in some places

it is sunny and warm.

Here the winds rage outside my windows.

We are expecting 20 inches of snow, 65 mph wind gusts

and another historical high tide.

I think I will spend the day indoors eating oranges.

    20 inches of snow is a lot but something about it sounds quite lovely. You're tucked away indoors enjoying a juicy bowl of oranges while looking out the window as the 65mph wind blows the snow. The worst part of snow is clean up. I love it when I'm snowed in.

    MMMMM - lovely!
    Enjoy your snow - I must say, though, that I'm rooting for spring!

    I love the oranges with their stems and leaves still attached.

    Those oranges are very inviting. They do suggest nice warm sunny weather. It’s still super cold here in Virginia. I can’t wait for spring to come.

    Cool photo. Eating oranges on a blustery days sounds wonderful to me. We finally have rainy weather. I have two baskets full of lemons that I'll make into limoncello and maybe cookies or pudding. :-)

    Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. Your paintings and photos are divine! You are surely so talented. I can almost smell these oranges through my screen.

    We are blustery here tonight, but not expecting the amount you mention. I have a special affection for Oranges. As a child, that was not plentiful to a single mom with three kids so many times a neighbor would share one with me when least expected and they tasted so delicious. I love them fresh cut in a pitcher of iced tea in the Summer time. Wishing you warmer weather soon. :)

    I bought oranges yesterday and it's cold here too. I like your plan of staying indoors and eating citrus!

    I often bypass oranges because I am too lazy to peel them ... but I have been on an orange kick lately - I think my body is calling out for Spring!

    Well, if you have to be stuck inside eating oranges that isn't so bad. My family is in Boston and they have so much snow right now it is nuts. Stay warm. We are eating them like crazy here at our house, but no snow in sight.

    Sending you wishes of warmth (as well as warm wishes) from the Antipodes! Summer ends in a few days time and though it has had its own trial, I shall miss it.

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
