a lady's desk


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



I've been longing for snow. 

There's no sign of any in the near future

I have no doubt that we will have our fair share of it soon enough

so for now I will just have to wait....

I've had this Little table for about 5 years now. 

It was a cast off from my mum when she downsized.

I use it as a diminutive desk

and place an odd jaberwocky of things upon it. 

seashells and stones collected from walks on the beach,

books that I've half-read, a funny looking plant that my daughter gave me 

and a hobbit-ish pipe that turned up in a box when we moved here.

The little gnome fellow has become a favorite of our cat, Tucker,

and I'm afraid he plays with it quite fiercely.

I'm not sure if the little thing will last till Christmas...

Tucker tosses it up into the air and then stands on his hind paws to catch it.

I was in a rather nasty car accident on Friday evening. 

There were no injuries , praise God,

but my car is out of working order for...well....we don't really know yet.

We'll be Ubering it to the train station .in the morning

and catching a bus to get home.

Hopefully, it will be a quick and painless fix.

There you have it...the good, the fun, and the random

though I'm not really sure how much of them I have offered here.

    Oh my! I bet you were quite shook up! We had an accident last year, and I shook for quite a few days after. I am so glad you are alright. What a bad time of the year to have to rely on different kinds of transportation; I hope your car is fixed soon. I love your little desk. Each item on it is in the perfect place to make a totally charming effect. It looks a bit timeless.

    I'm sorry to hear you were in a car accident. So glad you're ok. It's crazy out there right now with the traffic. Your little desk is charming and even more special that it belonged to your mom. The desk I use for bills and such was my mom's too, and I've never been able to part with it. Love your little gnome. : )

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
