The rhythm of a simple home

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


The weather has finally caught up with the season. It was uncommonly hot but it is cooler now.

I like my weather to match the time of year. I live in New England and I expect the Autumn

to be cool if not downright cold.  

Right now I am

Looking around the house

My brother was kind enough to pick up my grandmother's desk at my cousins house 

and drop it off on Sunday.

    I bet New England is beautiful :) I'm going to make it there one day! It's gone back to the upper 80's here in Texas and does not feel like FALL, at all. It's so disappointing, considering last week was in the 50's and 60's and we were all loving it. I wore sandals to church yesterday :)

    Have a wonderful week :)

    These are nice photos of your grandkids. They are happily playing and exploring. I have some things to donate to the antique shop as well. It's nice to clear things out now and then.

    Have a good November week. It's supposed to rain today!

    The violence in Maine really disturbed me. I think because every time we've gone to Maine (husband has aunt/unce/cousins in the Freeport/Brunswick area and we've been to bangor and Acadia National Park twice and of course portland once and Kittery). It's such a peaceful place that this violence feels like a real violation (it all does of course any where in the world) and one just doesn't expect it in Maine!! :( I hope your family is al lsafe.

    LOVE the pics of your grands.

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
