The flag on State street

 ~ ~ ~

Of a morning I walked a bit around town for a walk before leaving for work. It poured heavy rain much of the day so I wanted to get a walk in while I could. It was so quiet in my little town. Even the water in the harbour was still.

I caught a bit of a breeze coming up off the ocean. It was just strong enough to move the giant flag that hangs on one of the old homes on State street. 

Every winter I say I'm going to move an hour north so that we will be closer to the grandchildren and then summer comes and everything is just so beautiful here. We can walk to the market, the harbour, two or three small beaches, restaurants...and the grandchildren love coming here! 

So...maybe we'll move next year...

    It's always nice when you feel content in your town. I love this town also, but like you, I may move closer to the grandchildren at some point. That flag looks wonderful hanging from the old house. I'm glad that you enjoy walking to the markets, the restaurants, and the beaches in your town. I like the color of this house, and the siding.

    I LOVE reading that you are content in your town. There are so many expectations for people to move or have a certain home, but the truth of the matter is to enjoy your life/your moment. Thank you so much for linking up and have a great weekend.

    Love that photo...and then read your thoughts that went with it. I have to admit, I am bit envious. How wonderful it would be to live in a beautiful place!

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
