Keeping Sabbath




t

He restoreth my soul

Psalm 23:3




My favorite part of weekend mornings 

is being able to drink my coffee or tea slowly.

My husband is not a coffee drinker and doesn't understand

why I can't just gulp down a cup before I leave for work

and be done with it.

Morning coffee is a bit like art with children

it's process not project. 





This morning as sip I can see ribbons of colour out the window

white fog lifting off of 

the greens of the grassy park across the street,

 beige in the dune grasses waving in the breeze,

beautiful silvery blue of the Atlantic ocean,

calm as glass this morning,

and a pastel, orangey, pink  sun rising up out of it. 

All of it moving to it's own beat of life,

and all of it, all of it,

moving to the rhythm of the earth and to the universe.


So I sit at my window...

sipping my coffee slow.


He restoreth my soul.

    I so relate to this post! The first cup of coffee, sipped slowly while embracing the beginning of the day is a big deal to me as well.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

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
