22 April





We have had some Right whales (Baleen whales)

swimming around in the waters on our rather tiny island!

We could see them from our living room windows!

There are only between 350 and 500 of them left.....

The weather here has been beautiful these past few days...

if you like warm sunny days in the 70s!

I have been spending my lunch hours walking Beacon hill

and through the Boston Commons into the Public Gardens!

There are lots of things in bloom.

pretty sweet.

I am spending Saturday with a few girlfriends who I haven't seen for a while

We are meeting in Boston to do some shopping and have lunch.

I got home after a staff meeting at work 

to see a beautiful full moon shining in the window at my desk.

It was so pretty.

    Lovely post. How lucky that you can whale watch from home! Enjoy your time with the gal pals! Did you make that mobile? Is it pieces of drift wood? Very nice! Aloha.

      Yes I did make it and it is pieces of driftwood and shells that I found on the beach. Thank you.

    Wow, how cool to see the whales from your window!

    I love this time of year - the temperatures, seeing things blooming.

    Looks like you had a great week!

    Yay for Boston!! two years ago we were there for our spring break and loved walking in the Commons and the Public Gardens...i got some awesome pics. This year, (spring break officially started at 3 pm today!!) my youngest daughter and I will be visiting Philadelphia to do a college visit and then heading out to Lancaster Co area to explore Amish country (but i'd rather be in Boston!). Enjoy the weekend!!

    You live in a wonderful and beautiful place--whales and full moons from your living room windows. I love that driftwood hanging decoration, too.

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
