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

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
