Over the weekend I picked up some yellow flowers

and I've been enjoying them dancing in the sunlight

Max the Wonder Dog


My son-in-law's dog Max died on Monday

He was 14 year's old and had lived a good life...

very sad though and he will be greatly missed

Family dogs are missed as old uncles or aunts are

we speak of them as if they were grand old characters in our families

and we remember them long into our old age...

My mum still remembers how her father would send their dog, Buttons,

up onto her bed in the morning.

sunrise after Stella



Tuesday we had a mega-storm Stella come in....

We were spared much of the snow they called for

What we got was very high coastal tides, ferocious winds,

and very low temps

and in honor of the Irish....

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! Love yellow -- such a happy color! Max was a very handsome guy. I know he will be missed. Fur babes are important members of the family. If they could talk!!! Glad Stella was kind to you. Happy Friday!

    I'm sorry about your son's dog. Ours lived for about 14 years, too, and even though I'm not much of a pet person, I still mourned her. They do tie in to many family memories.

    I'm glad the snow missed you! Hopefully it will feel more like spring soon.

    I'm glad you were spared the brunt of the storm. We had some snow and high winds but didn't suffer any damage. Enjoy your weekend. :)

    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too!
    I'm sure you were relieved to miss the majority of the snow and it sounds like even the high winds and surf didn't cause much damage. Hopefully, this will be the last big storm of the season for you.
    I'm sorry to hear about your son in law's dog-- I hope for comfort to him.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
