A Christmas star

 




I set up our Christmas tree during the Thanksgiving weekend. 

It’ so pretty.


Tucker approves of the Christmas lights in his favourite window. 






I saw my grandchildren last weekend as well.




I happened to glance out of the living room window one morning and was treated to the most beautiful sunrise. 


In these darkest days of the year it’s nice to see some light. 


Just around the corner is the Marblehead Boat Yard and every year, at Christmas time, they put a giant star up on top of their crane. I came home from work a few days ago to see it shining high above the harbor.

It’s sort of reassuring in these times.

    Your grands are so sweet! There's a place around here where they've put a Christmas tree atop a large crane for years. It sparks a little bit of delight every time I see it.

    Your tree is beautiful! Your cat is so cute and such a nice picture of him in the window! Of course your grandchildren are adorable! I would love to be able to see that star out of my window every night. Something about it just gives hope, doesn't it?

    I love the photo of Tucker in the window. It looks like a Christmas card.

    Your tree is lovely. And like everything you do, it is so elegant. I can sure see how this star would be reassuring. I love the pic of kitty in the window. I bet your grandchildren are so looking forward to Christmas, they are at the age when it is so exciting!

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
