In my life

 




I have been back at work for almost 2 months now with toddlers in a Montessori school. 

It’s been beastly hot and humid this summer; this is not my kind of weather.

I wish I could have gotten outside more often but I just can’t handle heat.

So....I’ve taken my nature when and where it’s been offered.

One beautiful evening offered a gorgeous sunset and a rainbow over the harbour.

The sunflowers in the front garden beds have grown so tall that my mum can see them from her bedroom window.

I went to visit my daughter, Hannah, at her new place and she has a stunning old leaded glass window which looks out onto the garden in her front yard. It’s almost like having the outside, inside.

So far there have only been 2 little pumpkins and the rabbits have eaten every last crumb of both of them.

Oh well...I’m happy to share.

    What a lovely sight, your rainbow. Haven't seen one in a long time. I enjoyed seeing all your photos. Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/08/big-batch-quick-dinner-rolls.html

    Gorgeous photos and those sunflowers are so bright and beautiful! I'm like you, I can't take the heat either. I spend the summer indoors as much as possible. Any veggies I've ever tried to grow became a feeding stop for wildlife too. Your daughter is beautiful! Have a lovely Tuesday :)

    It was a hot Summer for sure. I commented to my daughter that I wish we'd had a Summer, and she said Mother, we had Summer. I meant the days of some 70's and 80's but most were high 90's to almost double digits. The rains, then the hot, hot, and now we'll be back in the rains. Maybe I remember being young and the hot didn't bother, so I understand when you day it's hard to be out in the hot. Love the photo of you daughter, and the lovely sun flowers. Your mom is so pretty, I see where you family gets their prettiness. Have a great week.

    The heat was hard to bear for me, so I rode my bike early in the morning or late in the evening.
    Now it has become so autumnal.
    Those are nice impressions and the rabbits had appetites, the sunflowers were wonderful, bigger than you! smile
    I wish you all the best, Elke

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
