17 June




thursday morning at the bus stop

bunnies in the clover



Monday I was on the shores of Lake Champlane at the In-bloom conference

It was held at Shelburne Farms which is absolutely stunning and beautiful. 

It was about getting pre-schoolers out into the woods and the natural world. 

Two of my very favorite things....children and outside!


Happy Headphones....

even the headphones were happy when the boys put them down and went outside to play!


Daisies in the dune grass

Last year the town planted lots of dune grass along the beach side.

This year there are daisies interspersed.  

So pretty.



The sunsets this past week or so have been spectacular.

I sit on the porch with a cup of tea or a glass of wine at end of day

and watch the evening settle in.

    I love your photos! Daisies, seagulls, sunsets. It's a beautiful place where you live.
    That sounds like a great conference. I agree that children should be outside as much as possible and the wilder the place, the better.

    What a gorgeous sunset. All your pictures are so nice! We have bunnies come into our yard to feast on the clover, too. I haven't quite figured out where they live, but they're regulars. It's like having pets without having to clean up after them. :-) Love the happy headphones!

    This is my first visit to your blog. I found you through Friday Five Faves. It is beautiful and peaceful here, just as I'm sure it is on your front porch.

    What a gorgeous view you have. I was in your neck of the woods (New England) only once, and that was back in 2003. We were visiting family in southern New Hampshire, so we made a couple treks down to Boston and a trip up to the Maine coast. How beautiful your part of the country is.



    Blessings,

    Cute Wabbit, great Gulls. The headphones really do look like a smiling face. The sunset is so beautiful, we had an amazing one the other day too but I haven't posted the photos yet. Keeping it for next week's Skywatch Friday. Have a great weekend

    I was in Burlington several years ago, including an event at Shelburne Farms. Loved the area! Your photography is inspirational.

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
