The camping trip

 ~ ~ ~


Camping in New Hampshire with my family this weekend.

Both of my daughters, my son-in-law and my three grandchildren.

My husband had to work so he couldn't join us. 

So. Much. Fun.

I love that my daughter and granddaughter both have the exact same smile!

My daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren left on Sunday afternoon but my eldest daughter and I stayed over Sunday night as well. It was quiet and peaceful and I don't get to see Hannah that often so I enjoyed our time together.

We a thunderstorm roll through on Friday evening. But the rest of the weekend was beautiful.
On Monday I woke to this beautiful sunrise. It began to rain a few hours later but Hannah and I had packed up most of our things the night before so it didn't take us very long to dismantle the tent and be on our way. It was nice to get home early in the morning and have a chance to unpack and do some laundry.

I took Tuesday off as well and it was so nice to have a day to relax at home.  It turned out to be a stormy, rainy, windy day which I loved.  I lit an apple candle, made a pot of lentil soup and dreamed about Autumn.

    What fun! Would you believe I have never been camping. What a beautiful shot of you and your daughter! And the sunrise, WOW! It is double because of the water reflection.

    What a nice camping trip you had with your family. And a rainy day spent at home with a candle and soup sounds like my kind of day. So peaceful, and I've been patiently waiting for Fall as well. That sunrise is something else.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on 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
