Blossoms from heaven


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The lilacs are blooming in neighborhood dooryards.

There is nothing like a lilac nestled by your back door.
May brings delightful smells as you come in from a trip to the market.



The house on the corner has just been painted.
It faces the old harbour and town landing.
I love grey on a beach house and the pink of the magnolia (Dogwood?) looks so pretty against it.


There are so many different types of flowering cherry trees.

They create a canopy of blossom over the narrow lanes of my old town home.

The  blossoms float down down and sprinkle the ground with pink and white.

    So far no flowers here blooming, but did make it to buy some today. I've never planted perennials and so should have so do annuals. When this flooding stop will be anxious to get them planted. Hopefully, later this week. Yours are such pretty colors, and yes, lots are painting and doing houses grey now and I really like it. Ours is red brick so can't paint, but enjoy seeing the ones that have it, and the flowers in front of that one are so pretty.

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
