27 September






over the weekend I will be bringing the geraniums in to over winter in the sunny dining room

They are flowering like crazy right now and they look so pretty


I absolutely adore pumpkins

If I was forced to choose a vegetable for a friend I would choose a pumpkin

they're so versatile and cheery

and if you get tired of standing you can sit on them

and if you get tired of carrying them you can make them into pie

of course that wouldn't be very friendly...


Autumn is my favorite time of year and October is my favorite month in the fall

July is my favorite summer month and in July summer is my favorite time of year

I like May very much as well...

Winter will never be my favorite time of year although I have come to terms with it...

winter and I have come to an understanding


Now that the sun is rising a bit later and the mornings are a bit cooler 

I haven't been out to the beach at sunrise in a few weeks


We are having a big celebration in October this year

The pack up the babies and grab the old ladies Thanksgiving in October bash
pot luck

bring your smiley thankful self and something special to share


I am hoping it will be the first of a new tradition


are we at 5 yet?

I got a little sidetracked...

    That sounded great honey. I love pumpkins also, when they are made into pies. And I love making Jack-o-lantern's with all five of our children, especially when we can get the fifth one to come up for the occasion. My favorite holiday is The Fourth of July. My favorite season is summer, but august is my favorite month. I love your blog.

    Any month, any day is one that I love because I am alive and well! Perhaps the winter months are less loved, but life is good!

    I never thought about how many ways you can use pumpkins. I just decorate with them and that is fine but they have many uses, you say. May try sitting on one, one of these days.

    I love how you have come to an understanding with winter...I just wish it would cooperate. Snow a big snow when I wanted, and then be done....LOL Autumn is my favorite time of year, though, for real.

    Pumpkin pie is my favorite vegetable!!! I don't know if I would walk to the beach every day or not if it was withing walking distance. For sure not EVERY DAY in the winter. Blogger wouldn't let me see what beach that is as your profile got blocked meaning that I had a hard time finding your blog, Googling helped some). We live in Texas north of Houston and it is a 98 mile drive to our Galveston beach. The water is still warm there though and even in winter people swim and surf.

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
