all flowers in time bend towards

the sun i know you say

that there's no-one for you but

here is one all flowers in

time bend towards the sun I

know you say that there's  no-one 

for you but here is one 

here is one here is one

I love to see the dawn rising over the Atlantic

ribbons of colored sky

reflecting in blue water

my mother's dog Sally is spending the night

we love her

my sister is having surgery on Wednesday

CANCER SUCKS

 Holly will be entering the doorways of Sloan-Kittery for surgery next week

and then re-entering the world of chemotherapy
 (this is not her first surgery and will not be her first time dealing with chemo.)
I wish that these doors would remain closed for her
for everyone
let us continue to support the science 
that will one day find a cure for this
terrible terrible disease

    I'm sorry to hear about your sister, it's such a difficult battle to fight. Good she has you and her family to surround her with love. I remember sunrise over the Atlantic, then for 40 years, I had sunsets in the Pacific, now I have the mountains. All glorious.

    I don't think there are many families out there that cancer hasn't touched in some way. All the best to your sister, and hugs to you. Wendy x

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
