Walking wild

 


We are in the midst of a winter storm.

It’s grey and rainy and very blowy out there. The temperatures over just over freezing so we have rain and slush. Which is rather unpleasant but does cancel the school where I work so I get a snow day!

The boughs of the huge pine tree between our house and the harbour are being tossed about as if they were branches on a much smaller tree. There’s something about seeing huge pine boughs swaying in the breeze way above your house that lets you know it’s windy out there. 

I am sitting at my kitchen table drinking coffee in my pajamas and have no intention of going out of doors for quite some time...maybe walk down to the town landing this afternoon. 

For now though...


Here is a picture of the beautiful pine. The house behind it is a good three stories tall.

I love to imagine the things that tree has seen.

    We've had our first snow amount where I live, but nothing like further to the East coast. I does invigorate to be outside, but not like in the younger years. There have been years that the snow has been up to my knees-I'm 5 ft, but seems anymore not that much. Been in my pjs too. No need to go anywhere at the moment. Happy week.

    This one missed us so we have snow but actually have had less snow than other years. Thank you for the book suggestions. I was able to get a couple of them for my e-reader as my eyes need bigger print. I dream of the garden at this time of year....Michelle

    I live in eastern NY and while you were getting the slushy rainy kind we were getting the soft fluffy kind and we got another 3 inches on top of the 3 inches from last week! I had a "remote learning" day where we taught via google classroom as we only have 1 snow day left and our director wanted to save it in case we need it later in the month or March. we only get 3 snow days per school year. Thanks for participating in the Take Time Tuesday meme. I LOVE that pine tree!! great photo!

    Can't say I blame you for staying in your jammies! The tree is just marvelous to see outside your window. Keep warm!

    Thank you for being a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!

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
