When the September afternoons are warm and the mornings and evenings are chilly, I cut some up some apples and pears and add them to a pitcher of fresh water along with a cinnamon stick and a chunk of ginger. It's a delightfully refreshing and healthy taste of fall to cool us off. A Wise Woman Builds Her Home

We spent Saturday at Camp Verne!

H is for.....home

~ Of an evening Joe invited me to sit on the porch a spell with him. I popped some popcorn and we brought a bowl out. It was almost as if we were waiting for a movie to start... but then I heard the waves of the Atlantic on our rocky shore, and the wind over the wild rose bushes and dune grass, and I realized that the night itself was the entertainment. ~  

We begin a new rhythm here at home on our rather tiny sort-of an island. I can feel it stepping into time with my heartbeat.  I've always followed some sort of rhythm... the seasons follow the rhythm of the earth as it spins and we create a rhythm around that... first we rise and put the kettle on for tea stop to admire the sun as it rises over the Atlantic dress, scrub our faces.... light a coloured candle while we breakfast on grains or fresh eggs ... Say our prayers and go to sleep the pulse of home.... Joe has started a new work schedule. After working nights and weekends for the past 2 years he has switched to Monday - Friday from 7:00 in the morning till 3:00 in the afternoon. Summer is waning....the boys are back in school.
