starfish and snowfall



of a morning after a snowfall

 it is enough of an adventure

to gaze out of the window

sunlight glistening off the blue ocean

tea kettle whistles its morning tune

singing of starfish and snow flakes

I have been doing some serious job hunting and I have a few things in the works

Yay!!!

~

I am going to visit my sister with my mum for the weekend. 

She lives the next state over and my mum just can't do the drive anymore

Honestly, I'd rather stay home but I think I will enjoy myself when I get there.

We are a wee bit more than half-way through winter!

We have a full tank of oil and will be cozy warm through this next cold spell

    A little road trip is always a good thing - a change of scene and the appreciation of home on one's return.
    Good luck with the job hunt.

    I'm enjoying the snow we've been having, and I am very thankful for my snug house and enough money to heat it. I hope you find a job that you love. Have a wonderful time with your mum and sister--safe travels.♥

    My husband lost his job last summer, so we're in the same boat as you. Thankfully, we are in a good place at the moment with no outstanding debts. But, we need a job to open very soon or else we'll have to look outside our area for work. God will see us through the storm. I enjoyed your lovely picture and poem this Skywatch Friday. The best of luck to you with your job search. Feel free to pop in on Curious as a Cathy anytime!

    Even though I can make out snow on the windowsill, the photo has a very bright, summery feel to it!

    Halfway through winter! I think everyone who lives where it snows is feeling the same way. Hurray, too, on the job hunting progress. I hope you had a great weekend with your mom.

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.

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
