Friends and family Friday


I don’t know the name of this rose bush. My mum refers to it as “Kara’s rose.”

She planted it because I mentioned that I love pink roses. 

I can’t even begin to tell you how heavenly it smells.


My grandson, Verne, loves to hug trees and his little sister, 

Abigail, loves to do whatever he does.

So I ordered these t-shirts for them. 



Joe and I have been trying to get out for a walk every day. 

He has some chronic health issues that make that difficult for him.

Some days we don’t make it very far.

One day we made it down to Red’s Pond and got to see the remote-control sailboats.

There’s nothing in the picture to give you a sense of scale but the boats are only about 2 feet tall.

Two older gentlemen were sitting on the park bench with the controls.



The back garden is looking very nice! 

My mum and I have been working hard in the garden beds.

My sister and her fiancé are here for some medical scans and it’s nice to see them.


My brother has been painting the shed in the back garden so we’ve had a chance to spend some time

with him. He often brings his dog, Sadie!

    That pink rose is just exquisite. Such a deep, beautiful color. Your backyard looks so nice and inviting. There's group that sails the remote-control model boats at our park every weekend. The boats remind me of the story of Stuart Little. A little mouse that had all kinds of adventures, including being the captain of such a boat. Enjoy your weekend!

    What a pretty rose. My favorites are the ones that look like a flame, but I really do love them all. Sweet of your mom to plant that for you. That backyard looks lovely. Love the t-shirts your found for your grandkids.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
