Greening day

Do not love the world or the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world 

- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life - 

is not from the Father but is from the world. 

1 John 2:15-16


I think of this one often at this time of year. 

In our house we don't do "black Friday"

Instead we do Green Friday. 

We walk the woods and we decorate the house with Christmas.

    I love your tradition of Green Friday. Such a lovely idea as we don't shop on Black Friday either :)

    Good idea! I never shop on Black Friday, too many crowds, lines, and traffic!

    Wat a lovely idea. I remember those angel candle spinners, I had one! And I just cannot remember the name of them. But the heat from the candles made them spin around.

    Oh I like the idea of Green Friday! I don't purposely "do" Black Friday either - for me personally, it's a contradiction to everything I celebrated the day before. Blessings!

    Oh, we don't do black Friday in our house either. It sounds like madness. How nice that you walk the woods and decorate the house for Christmas with the things you find along the way. There is much in nature we come across to do just that. This is a really unique and pretty photo.

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
