21 July



The geraniums on the porch are in riotous bloom!

So sweet and old fashioned and pretty.









I took the ferry into work a few times this week!

I work in Boston and it takes about 40 minutes to get there by sea.





I'm not sure what kind of bird this is.

It was on top of one of the channel markers in the sound.



The folks next door take a walk together in the mornings before work.

I can hear snippets of their conversation as they walk past my window

on their way back home.

It warms my heart.




Mornings are lovely out on the porch

with a cup of tea

gentle sea breeze 

seagulls calling out to one another as they breakfast

all the air warming up around me

scented with geraniums, roses, and the quiet Atlantic

    What a lovely commute via the sea.
    There is something familiar and comforting about geraniums.
    Your porch looks like a great place to start and end a day.
    Thanks for the journey to your part of the country.
    Have a lovely weekend.

    Good morning, Kara. Your bird is an Osprey that has made a nest atop the channel marker. Lovely photo.

    What a lovely, cozy porch! I love your water pictures - I miss living near it. We have pink geraniums on the back patio really coming into their own now - I love them!

    That must be a fun commute! How lovely your porch is! YAy for sitting in the mornings with a fave drink and enjoying flowers and salt water smells. Enjoy the weekend!

    What a lovely view you have from your porch! And I love geraniums. My mom always grew them so they hold a special place in my heart.

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
