my children are grown now and Joe's boys are much too young to think about graduating but we seem to have a bouquet of graduating teenagers in our lives right now. It's so much fun to see them with such wonder and possibility in their eyes.

A friend is on the other side of a year long intense battle with cancer.
 It was such a pleasure to spend some time with her the other day.

I went to a table setting and single flower competition with my mother the other day. It was put on by her gardening club. It was very sweet and old fashioned.
I felt as if I should have worn a pillbox hat and white gloves.
I was the youngest person there....and that doesn't happen too often these days.

the warmer weather has Joe and I out on the porch in the evenings.

We are  in the final week of spring. It's been fairly chilly here this year. We've had a few days in the 80s, which is unseasonable but mostly its been in the 60s and 70s.
I'm ready for the summer!

    We, too, have a friend who was officially cleared recently as on the other side of cancer. It is amazing to be in his presence!

    We've been having rain and more rain and lots of humid days, but the evenings have been pleasant and we drink in the coolness.

    Your time with your mother this week sounds like a fun time. Glad you were able to accompany her.

    So glad your friend is coming through her cancer fight well and that you could spend time with her.

    Had to smile about being the youngest person at the garden club and feeling like you should've worn a pillbox hat and white gloves. :-)

    Your end-of-day front porch gathering sound relaxing.

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
