a hundred acre wood

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


A walk in the wood of a morning 


Olden woods are my favourite. Wild places where we leave things as they lay and let the world take care of itself...the way it has been doing for ever and ever. 
Perfectly fine without us.

When I was a girl I could walk through our backyard into a conservation area that was nothing but woods.

A few clearings here and there and a small stream...frog pond. 
I would spend days in there coming home only for food. 
Hours and hours - seasons upon seasons - years upon years.

When I was a young teenager we moved closer to town and I stopped going into the wood.

But the wood has never left me. It's still my favourite place to be.

    Yes. My Mother and I painted the classic Hundred Aker Wood on my bedroom wall when I was about 10. The woods are very special to me...Michelle

    Woods are always wonderful to explore! As John Muir said: "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.'

    Ii live in the woods on 21 acres which back up to the Savage River State Savage (55,000 acres).
    It's like living in our own private park. :)

    So nice that you take a walk in the woods. The woods are all around me, so I don't need to go far to appreciate them. You have pleasant memories of the woods when you were a young girl. Thanks for sharing them.

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
