6 march


me and sally walk the beach


they walked the beach of a morn

and came upon the semblance of a sail

a fellow voyager had built upon the beach

with two sticks

as if to say...

yes

you too can sail upon the sea this day

upon the sea of dreams

open your heart


and set your compass for a distant shore

    This had to have been done, by children.

    Lucky children...

    To have this beautiful rugged coast line, on which to play...

    And to dream...

    a beach a beach my kingdom for a beach
    I love finding remnants of those who have gone before
    I often leave things myself and wonder who will find them

    There has always been, to me, something so poignant about little dinghies and sailboats perched up on the tide line. Love this!

    This is cool. All I can think is how badly I want to turn that little boat over, make a sail, and shoot portraits of little sailors!

    My compass is set, but I think I'll linger for a short while to catch the sea breeze and listen for a sea gull or two.

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
