Walking wild

 


Lichen, moss, and fungi all growing together on an old fallen tree trunk.

You can see that there are plenty of pines in the area as well. 



This little fella was a bit closer to home.
He was sitting in the planter box eating the red winter berries. 
It didn’t bother him at all that we were standing just inside the doorway.
He never even paused in his nibbling.

    What a cute little visitor. Saw one yesterday scurrying through the yard, but he didn't stop for a visit. Always fun to see what's growing in an area.

    squirrels gather under our bird feeder but it's one from LLBean that has weight settings so even if they figure out how to climb up the pole they can't reach the bird seed as the weight of them "drops" down the little door. But they do enjoy scavenging around underneath what woodpeckers and cardinals drop. fun to watch!

    The second picture looks like a alligator! Cute little squirrel too busy eating to be bothered by anything else! Those must be some tasty berries!

    Some people despise squirrels. I find them charming, in an odd sort of way..

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
