7 August


Old fashioned fireman's muster

on Saturday at Salem Willows

I love going to these events

and there is another one in my home town in a few weeks!




We had an impromptu family gathering

and some of us jumped off the wharf


first trip of the season

to the quarries

jumped the almost highest jump!


we breakfast at the wharf

strawberry frosted donuts

and Dunkies coffee



Queen Anne's Lace lining the pathways

along the wooded paths

    This makes me think of a song from my childhood that said, "Simple pleasures are the best..." What sweet simple pleasures your week contained!

    Loved your photos, especially the Queen Anne's lace. Looking at it, I felt transported back to my girl scout days when we walked the paths in the woods and observed nature.

    I've never attended a foreman's muster although several of my friends were fireman. They always had a great time.

    Love queen Anne's lace. How awesome that it is so abundant in your area.

    Wharf jumping? Sounds fun and COLD!

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
