Mustard day!

 


The good

We drove a few hours up the Maine coast to an old fashioned fireman’s muster.

The temperature was cooler than it has been and it was a great day!


The fun

This is the old hand tub out of Marblehead, MA. 

They were what was used back in the olden days before there were automobiles.

Firemen would pump the water out by hand.

The goal these days is to pump hard enough that your water spurts out of the hose the furthest.

They are have officials who do the measuring. 




The random

I don’t post very many pictures of myself so it’s sort of random. Abby c

Abby calls them mustard days instead of muster days which we all think is so cute!

The good, the fun, the random

    Haven't been to a mustard day since I was a kid and my little sister was the one mispronouncing 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
