28 September


 the good

when my sister, Holly, saw this picture of my daughter she said she could still see

Hannah as a two year old.

One time  when Hannah was two Holly tried to carry her up the back stairs at our mum's house

Hannah was insisting "I do it!"

Holly had to carry her back down to the very step she had stopped her at

and Hannah climbed up from there all by herself!

She is 27 now and hasn't changed in that regard.

She's still a little scrapper.



OK the random....and catching light....and mellow yellow light all over the woods

lichen growing on a pine tree






 there is always more fun

around the next bend



It's nice to have something photographic

to authenticate my existence

    It doesn't seem to matter whether your subject is human or some other part of God's creation -- you have a way with pictures that is truly inspiring to me! Gotta get outside today and capture shots of these last few days of green.

    It is an art to be able to capture the essence of your subject ... you seem to have an insight into what is important and how to capture it. You and your daughter glow with the love of life ... this is a lovely series ...

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
