1 September





August has been an unimaginable month for us.


 filled with the company of our family and friends

our beautiful home

our love for each other

we've taken stock of how blessed we are in our lives right now

and we've been filled with joy this summer

many evenings we are out on the porch enjoying a spectacular view of the sunset

playing a little guitar and watching the world go by

this is a view of that

    What a lovely late-summer image! I like the way you've made that power pole a vital element of the composition. I'm always trying to get them out of my frame, but you've really used it to good advantage. I'm visiting from Photo-Heart Connection.

    I love the simplicity and the beauty. The scene you see from your porch, made even more beautiful by your description. This is what photograph from the heart is all about! Thanks for sharing in the Photo-Heart Connection.

    Fabulous view. I'm glad you've taken the time to enjoy it, even better with friends. What is it about a sunset that begs to be viewed? They are entrancing and grow more so the older we get.

    When you wrote that it's been unimaginable, I worried for a second until I was relieved by your comforting words and activities. How wonderful to appreciate what is around you, even what is ordinary, for it's beauty. :)

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
