You belong among the wildflowers

 



On Sunday my mum and I took a ride to visit my daughter, Hannah, at her new place. 

It’s a grand old Victorian duplex built in 1880.

It’s beautiful and so is she. 


We had a huge rainstorm come in on Sunday evening.

And then afterward an absolutely spectacular sunset. 

I only got a picture between these two old houses standing on our back porch.

Here is almost the same view just a few hours earlier.

In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world.

I had a nice easy day at work Thursday. We only had 4 children and on Friday we will only have 3!

Many of our families have gone on vacation. Next week is prep week and our school is closed. 


The sunflowers are looking so pretty!!

    Your sky shot is beautiful! And I love the way it is shining on the side of the house. Also a spectacular sunflower shot, so artistic!

    Love the photo of your daughter and the lighting..do you use an editing tool?

    Yay for small numbers of children in school and a week to prep. We are still on vacation although i might go into my classroom for a bit on Monday morning to start setting up our play centers. We go back with students on sept 9. We are a 12:1:2 room all special education students but so far we only have 9 coming.

    Happy Sabbath!!

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
