Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Allium that mum planted in the Autumn are just about to blossom!

They stand so stately and tall against the garden wall.

This is the small area where I sit to drink my morning coffee. The wisteria is blooming and it looks so pretty from the window in our conservatory. In the morning it beckons me so that even if I have to put on a sweatshirt and a vest I can’t help but go out into the garden and the morning sunlight. 


My son-in-law is re-sanding and painting the old flag pole in the their front yard.

He had a friend help him replace the old eagle that sits at the top after he repainted it gold.


My grandson, Verne, likes to swing as high a the trees!


My granddaughter, Abigail, had a dance-off party with me in the back yard! 
Look at that delicious, apple and home-made cookie filled belly!

    I love your morning breakfast spot. I'd love to sit there in the mornings, too.
    Have a safe and happy weekend!

    Lovely little garden area. Looks very peaceful and inviting. The grandkids are cute as can be! Brave guys getting on the big ol' scaffolding to repaint the pole.

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
