Icelandic nasturtiums

in Bonnie's garden


Sunday I paid a visit to my youngest daughter

She wanted me to photograph her garden

which I was happy to do


Saturday night was the ball


I was not a participant this year (maybe next year)

but they allowed viewers into the balcony to watch

it was spectacular and so much more fun than I thought it would be


 earlier in the week both of my daughters and my mum

came over for an impromptu get-together

we had the boys with us as well.

Some of us jumped off the wharf.




delicious apple-zucchini bread slathered with fresh butter

and Irish tea

for a breakfast

    The ball looks so fun. I have been reading Austen's books (as you know) and my imagination has been caught by these events. I didn't realize such things still occurred - probably don't in CA. How fun that you could be an observer.

    And I am still intrigued by wharf jumping.

    Love the photo of your daughter's nasturtiums.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to
    be running off the screen in Chrome. I'm not sure if this
    is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought
    I'd post to let you know. The style and design look great though!

    Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks

    I'm late visiting FFF due to family birthday happenings this past weekend. That ball looks like great fun! The impromptu family get-together sounds fun, too. And the apple zucchini bread sounds delicious!

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
