16 June








I went to the Beacon Hill art walk with my friend from work.

There were so many different types of paintings and artists!


Art displays were set up in all the little crooked alleyways

and tiny courtyards that litter Beacon Hill, Boston.

I walk there often during my lunch break but during the art walk

many of the gated areas were open.

Both my friend and I love this house.

As we were admiring the artwork set up there

we looked upward to see a random rainbow 

that sort of lit the sky for a moment or two and then was gone. 


The weather has finally turned toward summer.

Last weekend had Dog beach filled with kite-surfers.

Joe and I watched one from the porch of a morning.

He had his dog with him and we could see the dog chasing him

in the water as he sailed across the water and into the sky.


After the art walk I stopped into 

King James Church

They were having an evensong for Pentecost Sunday

The Choir was just beautiful


I finally broke down and went to the eye doctor.

I picked out a pair of everyday glasses and a pair of  RX sunglasses.

Such  a good decision on my part....I don't know why I waited so long.

    I finally bought RX sunglasses this spring--like you, I thought, "Why did I wait so long?"
    The art walk sounds like a lot of fun. And catching that rainbow was lovely!
    Happy weekend to you!

    That art walk sounds like so much fun. And kite surfing does, too! Neat that you could see it from your porch. I can imagine the choir was lovely. I need to see the eye dr., too. I just found out recently that the new guy, that I just saw for the first time last year, is no longer there. One of the others was semi-retired - guess I need to see who is left!

    Spying a rainbow, even for a brief time, is always a treat.
    Getting new glasses is another treat - as everything around me seems crisper and clearer. How fun that you got new specs.
    Watching the kite surfer sounds marvelous. I've never seen that sport.
    Have a great weekend.

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
