29 April




My commute takes about an hour

I take the blue line home

and then I take a bus which drops me off just in front of my house

I live on a rather tiny island, which is connected to the mainland by a 2 mile causeway

One night this week as I got off the bus the driver commented 

"you must be so  happy to come home"

He couldn't be more accurate.

Happy and blessed to be able to live in this beautiful spot.

this is where the bus picks me up in the morning. 

I love everything about my new job!

During my lunch hour I walk up over Beacon Hill 

through Boston Commons and into the public gardens

where beautiful tulips are blooming in all sorts of colours.




A few weeks ago it was finally warm enough for us to head out and do some beach hopping

all over the island ramshackle fences and brush beginning to bloom

    It does look like a beautiful place! I don't think I'd like an hour commute, but then if it is on a train or bus, it's nice you can use that time to read or relax.

    I love a watery commute. There's something about going by or going on the water that helps set one up for the day. You live in a beautiful place.

    Your little piece of Paradise looks amazing - I wonder where it is?
    The fact that you work in Boston, it must be an island nearby - I'll look at Google maps.
    That's one of the lovely things about blogging, there is always more to learn about other peoples lives.
    There is a beauty to the ramshackle fences too.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

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
