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!

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
