100 acre wood


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



There are woods that seem, somehow, magical.

Olden, dappled places where there is an interval

between the world we know and the one that we imagine.



Groves of white birches interspersed amongst olden oaks and tall pines.

Ferns and Solomon's seal delicate underfoot.



One can see that others have seen and felt the same delight


A never-never land where glad and joyful youth

cannot see that the structures they are building today

use timber from trees that their grandparents planted

Trunks that once were as young as they who build the bridges are now.




There is a silence almost reverent in these woods.

Golden beams of sunlight filter through the tree tops

creating the effect of a silken scarf

Everything bathed in chartreuse and emerald.

    There is a woods where I walk sometimes by the Dam in our area. When in there, it is always fun to imagine all that is there that my eye can't see, and the history that resides there. Your shots are lovely. Happy week ~hugs~

    Ah, your photos make me want to grab my sweatshirt, turn off my laptop, and head outdoors. It is there I find peace and perspective and silence. Thank you for this prompting, friend.

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
