Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



I was able to see Verne and Abigail outside in their yard again!
I’m so happy we are able to do this.
I will be even happier when we get to hug each other again.

I met my friend at a state park which lies just between the two of us. We walked for almost 4 miles and were able to catch up with one another. It was wonderful. 


Ferns are unfurling at the house down the road.
Pretty.


My mum and I took a drive on Mother’s Day to meet both of my daughters at one of our favourite garden centers. My daughter gifted me with these self-portraits that Verne and Abigail made for me. Bonnie traced each child onto a paper bag and then they decorated themselves. Bonnie helped Abby with hers since she’s only 1. The poem on the back was so sweet and appropriate for the quarantine.


I hung them on my washer and dryer so that I will be able to see them all the time. 
I will treasure them for all time.



A friend got a new bed and gifted us with her old one. We had been using a Hollywood bed frame which had no head or footboard and was very squeaky.
It’s so comfortable and pretty.

During the world-wide quarantine we are all missing our family and friends. Please feel free to share a post about your family or friends. It can be an old one if you haven’t been able to see them in a while.

    Nice week of blessings!
    I love walking in our state parks here in the NY capital region but tomorrow I'm headed to the taconic hills ( the trail crosses between NY, MA and VT!). I'd rather be headed to the Adks but it's black fly season upvthere so i don't climb up there untilvend of June.
    That paper bag activity is cute and i did a similar thing when i had five students in a language group last autumn. There've been so ,amy cute poems and ideas for quarantine on Pinterest!

    Enjoy the weekend!!

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
