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.

Oh my is this a plant you couldn't leave outside to die? And it will reward you with its weak breath and anemic growth? I too have such a one in my dining room window. And I love it's tiny flowers. We saved each other through this frigid winter
ReplyDeleteNice post again
Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can picture the serenity of the scene you describe. Early morning is my favorite time. I love your image. We have a zonal geranium that we brought in for the winter. There's not enough winter light for it to bloom, but I'm enjoying the "aliveness" of it, nevertheless. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving kind words behind. It brought me to your lovely blog. So very peaceful here. It looks like you live in a beautiful place. Water always soothes my spirit. xo ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the green! I've been debating the purchase of a plant or two - seems odd given how frigid it is outside....but seeing this I'm thinking YES! The added green inside would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the watercolor look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy piece; love the editing on this shot....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous watercolor! Can't wait until I have scented geraniums in the garden again! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
