Family Friday


~ ~ ~



In Massachusetts the schools, both public and private,  have been closed since the 16th.

I work in a private Montessori school so this has given me quite a bit of time off.

I have tried to go for a long walk at least once a day.

Yesterday I saw a tree just beginning to blossom out.

Happy Spring!



Tucker Huckleberry Finn’s schedule hasn’t been affected by the stay-home orders.


Tuesday I took a ride to my daughter’s house. 

I got to do some painting with my favourite littles!


Wednesday they started running all public transportation on a Saturday schedule.

My husband’s job is essential personnel and he takes the bus and subway to work.

We have only one car...

So...since the school I work at has been closed till 7 April 

I have been driving him to the closest subway stop where his co-worker picks him up.

I stopped at the beach on the way home one day to capture this beautiful sunrise. 


I hope you all had a very happy St. Patrick’s day!

I thought now might be a nice time to resurrect my Family Friday meme.

Most of us are under orders to stay home so we will be spending

Quite a bit of time with our families. 

Join below if you are so inclined.

    Beautiful sunrise and cute picture of the grandkids. Daycares and schools are closed here but small dayhomes are still open. It's a struggle each day to try and figure out what to do. On the one hand you want to be there for your clients yet on the other hand it's better to be distanced.

    Oh that sunrise over the ocean photo is wonderful!
    Because St Patrick's Day is my birthday, I love shamrocks plants! Yours is lovely.
    Enjoy this extra time off and take lots of walks!

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
