For Today... 
Saturday
13 July
Outside my window...
it's quite cloudy and grey and rains periodically throughout the day
We can hear the pair of cardinals as they light upon 
 the porch furniture looking for seed
the cool breeze is blowing the curtains
there was a car wash to raise money for the jimmy fund
 at the old coast guard station this morning
and we could hear the people tempting passers by
with cups of hot coffee
I am thinking...
we prepared a very large amount of pork for grilling yesterday
but one thing led to another and it didn't get grilled
this means that we will be eating pork for a long time to come
I am thankful...
for our home and being able to share it with Joe
we have spent this Saturday relaxing
and it has been so nice
I am wearing...
I am in navy blue yoga pants
and a blue long sleeved shirt
I am creating...
a life 
I am going...
to be watching the boys next week
I will walk through the path in the wood to drop them off at camp
and then later in the afternoon
I will walk back through the path to pick them up.
I am wondering...
we had company over lastnight
friends we knew in highschool
I am wondering how we got so old so fast
I am reading...
The Art of Tidying Up
I am hoping...
that the weather will improve tomorrow
 
I am learning...
that life is stranger than you would think it to be

In my garden...
the hydrangeas are blooming so prettily
I have picked a few for a vase
 
 

In my kitchen...
well...there is an overabundance of marinated pork.
I am going to put some on the grill and hope it doesn't rain on me

A favorite quote for today...
 
Give Peace a Chance
Lennon
 
A peek into one of my days...
we walked the beach of an evening
and found a buoy that had washed ashore during rough waters
One of my favorite things...
to hear the wind chimes blowing all tinkly 
in the summer breeze

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
