rhythm of a simple home

 


I stumbled across this wonderful candle in the clearance section of my local home store.
It does take up quite a bit of space in my tiny apartment but it smells of peony and it’s so pretty. 


Even when it’s not burning the melted wax looks like a flower. 


We have just one window in the kitchen


Spider plant clippings currently take up the space on the window sill. Charming and filled with hope for the spring that will be here in just a few short months. 


This is the view out beyond our kitchen window.
The harbor is just beyond the last house you see looking forward and you can see it from the living room and bedroom windows. 
Sunrise illuminates the kitchen though and the room fills with coloured sunlight as I sit to drink my coffee. 

Glimmers of pink, yellow, and orange glow on the walls around me and I am happy to sit quietly in my small kitchen and observe the beginning of day.

    To me, this sunrise is God calling "I am HERE!" The candle is so beautiful, and reminds me more of a lotus. I love your cabinets and that pretty teal chair.

    The peacefulness of sitting and waiting is contagious. Thank you!

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
