Friends and family Friday

 



His love for his mother came first but his love for his baby sister runs a pretty close second.


Joe and I walked to a restaurant around the corner on Friday night.
The set up for outdoor dining was so beautiful I had to take a picture of it.



My daughter and son-in-law have 4 or 5 old apple trees on their property which produce a fairly large number of apples of a few different varieties. 
Abby was inviting me to join them on the bench under under one of the trees.
Which, of course, I did.

Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, anyone else but me, anyone else but me...



They also have this old and stately weeping pine tree. It’s absolutely beautiful. 
I don’t know the name proper name of it but I am absolutely in love with that tree. 



One evening Joe and I walked for a bit just at dusk and on the way home we noticed the moon shining in the night sky over the harbour and just beyond the boat yard.

You can see the sailboat in for the season on the left, the building on the right its The Landing which is the restaurant that sits on the harbour so sailors and others can come in for a drink or a bite to eat. The crane is used to lift the boats in and out of the water when the season ends or if they need work mid-season. And, the moon, who needs no introduction, floats in the sky above us all.

    Funny how coastal beauty sometimes needs an explanation. Love seeing your family. Praying for you and your sister.

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
