A rhythm of home

 


The chrysanthemums at the front door have blossomed. 

They are a rich magenta with a bright yellow center. 

They are quite cheery for the folks who 

 walk past our house with their dogs or on the way to the market, 

or one of the restaurants on the harbor just down the way. 





It has been quite foggy and grey around here lately.
On Thursday morning the sun came up over the harbour and into the bedroom window.

It’s warm enough still to have the window open, even at night.
I love waking to the cool, fresh air.

Here and there I’ve set a pumpkin around the house.




I am quite simple with seasonal decorating. 

In our rather small home a single small pumpkin sitting on a stack of old books 
makes more of a statement than a larger display. 


Monday: roasted butternut squash soup
Tuesday: Salisbury steak, peas, egg noodles
Wednesday: homemade pizza
Thursday: beef stew in the crock-pot
Friday: roasted spaghetti squash with sausage and tomato sauce
Saturday: pumpkin chili, molasses cookies
Sunday: apple cider braised chicken thighs, brussel sprouts, potatoes, gingerbread

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
