Misty skies and silvery seas

 


Thanksgiving just about twilight.

I walked down the narrow lanes in the tiny, antique village that I live in, following the narrow lanes until they brought me out to the misty Atlantic.

The boats are mostly in for the season but Chandler Hovey lighthouse, its green light a beacon to sailors in stormy seas and Children’s Island are both on the horizon. 

Someone had left a  gourd here on the sea wall or perhaps it had washed up on the little beach.

The skies were grey all thanksgiving day and though everything was wet due to the mist that fell it wasn’t raining whilst I walked.

I love the colour of the Atlantic at this time of year when it can be hard to differentiate between the sky and the sea.

    we are so very blessed to live near the sea, aren't we, friend ... each visit is different than the last, ocean and sky are always changing and shifting ...

    This sure does not look like it was there by accident. It is quite perfect. Now I want to know why it got the name of Children's Island?

    The little gourd is a colorful accent to the lovely grey.

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
