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.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

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
