23 July

 


I’ve been seeing mushrooms growing all over the place! 

We’ve been having nothing but rain and humidity this summer.



Tucker’s meow box came in the mail the other day.

He gets pretty happy when that happens. 


The other day, just about a month after my  mother’s passing, I noticed a dragonfly in my classroom. We took some pictures and let it go. 




My aunt’s 90th birthday celebration was on Sunday. It was bittersweet to be there without my mum but it was nice to see everyone on a happier occasion. 

Last night a mother/daughter came to pick up my mum’s dresser. We had listed it on Craig’s list because none of us could use it. It was very large and had a huge mirror. A mother and her college age daughter came to pick it up in their truck. At first I thought they wouldn’t be able to do it…but they did! I’m so h apply that it’s going to a nice young girl.

    LOVE dragonflies. It's our marriage symbol. the story is on the blog somewhere......

    YAY for the dresser being sold and put to good use for a college girl.

    NYS has had a LOT of rain for July and now we're enjoying this week of PERFECT sunny weather with NO humidity and cool breezes and temps in the 70s. MY FAVE!!

    ENJOY the weekend and hopefully the Boston area will dry out!!

    I'm glad your cat liked his box contents. :-) Neat about the dragonfly. That's so nice that your mom's dresser is going to someone nice who can use it.

    The sea coast photo is so pretty--I love the coneflowers. Happy Birthday to your aunt!
    It makes me happy to know that the dresser is being passed on to someone who will make good use of it.
    May you see dragonflies often!

    We are desperate from some rain in my parts. It's been so dry and hot. There are fire bans on everywhere. Happy belated birthday to your aunt. I've never heard of Meow boxes. How nice that your Mom's dresser will be put to good use by a young person. I'm in the midst of selling some of my Mom's furniture too and it is hard to let go of some of it because of the memories attached to it.

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
