tulips on the sunlit kitchen table

this image makes them look as if they are growing outside

but it is snowing this morning

and has been below 0 this past week

which makes these pretty tulips even more dear to my eye

when i glance across the table as i take my tea

    I always love the sun shining through tulips! I don't expect to see sun for a couple of days, Titan is due to hit us. {Whoever thought it was a good idea to name winter storms?}

    Tulips are one of my favourite flowers and I've been craving a bouquet. I didn't see the right ones yesterday, but will take a look somewhere today.

    Your photograph is luminous and does brighten up this overcast, snowy day.

    I love how a bouquet of flowers can lift ones spirits or just keep them elevated...

    Gorgeous in the sunlight. This time of year, tulips on the table are almost a necessity.

    Tulips are a life-saver for the soul at this time of year. I have a bunch of them on my mantel. Love the light in your photos.

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
