Sunday morning coming down


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My kitchen is for dancing.



And, on weekends in the cooler seasons

I almost always have a pot of soup on the back burner.

Sunday I made a pot of butternut squash soup

ladles full of it in mason jars to bring to work on Monday.

Lettuce, tomato and fresh carrots to snack on

tossed into a lunch box as well.

Sunday morning coming down and me sipping slow

    Your writing is like reading a good, comfortable book. I love these bowls!

    I had a grin on my face from the first line of this post - do you know we have a sign in our kitchen that says "This Kitchen is for Dancing"? It was a gift from our son a couple of Christmases ago!!! Your prose is delightful - I can feel the vibe of Sunday morning coming down … thanks for joining Mosaic Monday!

    Oh, I have that same cup from Poland. It's one of my favorite cups, not too heavy, not too big. Your butternut squash soup sounds really good. I was craving soup lately, and had a bowl of creamy broccoli last weekend. : ) I love seeing the charming items in your house.

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
