Keeping the home fires burning


—————————————————————————-


Quite the cheery purple rock greeting those who walk in Crocker park.
If you haven’t had a friend to greet you in a while
Here is a happy little hello to you. 




Walking along the streets that line the harbour 
Beautiful flowers in containers on the neighborhood walkways

Perhaps they are planted to cheer the passers by 
Spring is ever so slow in coming this year and we are all so far away from our loved ones. 


Some little fellow has left The Incredibles to help us remember that we are all super-heroes!
Following somewhat unclear orders to keep one another safe. 





I wish you cheer and happiness in your homes and neighborhoods as we withstand this virus together.

Come summer we will all be dancing in the streets and gathered close once again.

    I can't ignore purple or flowers. Love little figures like the ones my grandsons play with two.

    On one of our walks we found a cluster of painted rocks. They were such a friendly and inspiring find. - Margy

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
