26 May



 


the porch was filled with friends and family over the long weekend

as i sit out here this morning drinking my tea

the birds are twittering away amongst themselves

they are ever so happy that the seats beneath their feeders are empty

and all the guests have gone home

truth be told

as much as I love the celebration of being with loved ones

i also love the quiet of an early morning tea with the birds

    How lovely. And, I agree.........there's nothing like listening to the birds in the early morning. They were talking up a storm last evening here too. Sometimes we open a window just to purposely listen to them and their songs. Enjoy your day!

    Oh, my, yes! I do hear you. It's always fun to get together with family and friends but the calm afterwards seems just a bit sweeter.

    I agree. We live near the beach and while I am super social, my favorite time is early in the morning when the only other visitors are the seagulls.

    Both fellowship and solitude are so lovely and so important for us! Beautiful picture!

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
