the good

In the kitchen there is morning sunlight

and brown eggs for breakfast, fresh coffee

and a sweet little pot of mums from my mum.

Darkness falls early now

 long shadows fill the house with golden twilight

chicken with fresh herbs and lemon

is roasting in the oven

basmati rice boiling on the stove

bright green broccoli

 pumpkin pie.



the random

A new set of bright and cheery dishcloths

makes me want to clean something.



the fun

The Drop Kick Murphies lead the Boston Red Sox

world series parade right past the building I work in.

I popped my head out the door at lunch and watched!

    Now I need to go get some bright, cheery dishcloths so I am motivated to clean. Did the Sox win the world series? I hadn't heard! ;)

    Coffee and eggs is a nice breakfast; one of my favorites. It's good that you get lots of sunlight in your kitchen. And I love your bright and cheery dish cloths. : )

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
