mid October


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


mid-October is time for bringing the plants in.

I've settled them in next to the credenza in the dining room

after their wild adventures on the porch.

Night time temperatures will be dipping down close to frost this week.

Yesterday I turned up the heat just a bit to ward off the chill...

Sat at my desk in the sunny window with coffee and biscotti -

watched a Sunday morning coming down

It's this little pumpkin's second birthday already!



He sang Happy birthday to all of his friends

and when we were done singing to him he stood right up and said,

"Let's sing it again!"

    He is so beautiful. And even more so with the light reflecting on his face. I love the way your photos are so artistic. The plants look so good on that wall, and really dress it up and make it look fancy. You have the most lovely way of writing! Wild adventures on the porch, I love it! Kind of reminds me of Beatrix Potter. Really cold here, too! Even wearing sweaters, most people froze at our granddaughter's soccer game yesterday. A cold wind just cut through us.

    It's funny that you said you turned up the heat in your home cause I just turned the air on. California days right now are chilly in the mornings, warmer during the days, and cooler at night. : ) Autumn is my favorite time of year and will be getting cooler all day long soon.

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.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on 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
