Small and Wonderful Things . . .

 

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny? It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. What you see is what you get." ~Anne Dillard 

 A few of the small and wonderful things which bring untold joy into my life. It's the small things in life which truly mean the most. Simple abundance . . . it's the best.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this wonderful sister God gave me! She has been my best friend for a very long time now. I love her so very much. I think in this photograph she would be about three or four and I would be six or seven.  We should actually try to recreate this photo. That would be fun! We celebrated her Birthday yesterday, although I do not know how much of a celebration it was for her as she cooked the meal. I brought the pie though and we all really enjoyed everything.  I hope that she gets to relax at least a little bit today. And I hope that she knows how very much she is loved and appreciated.

She means the world to me. She blesses my life and many others in countless ways. If you looked in the Dictionary under Saint, her photo would or at least should be there! I love you sis. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Daisies.  It is daisy season.  One of my neighbours across the way had the loveliest daisies in her front garden.  They have to be at least three feet tall. I noticed them yesterday when I was going to Glenna's to go to church. I have never seen daisies so tall or so pretty.

I love daisies.

We have had some lovely warm weather, but quite tolerable. There hasn't been much humidity to speak of. I like that. I don't mind it being warm, it's the humidity that gets to me. It is a beautiful sunny day out there again today. I am loving it!

Going to church on Sunday. Yesterday was Fast & Testimony meeting.  I love Sundays when I can go to church and partake of the sacrament and renew my covenants, take the Savior's name upon me for another week.  I love singing the hymns. I love listening to the testimony's of others, and the talks. They help to strengthen my own. This is always a great start to my week. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I was able to call Sheila at the weekend and talk to her. She is still in hospital, but she sounds good. I think she will be going from there down to the rehab in Digby. She doesn't have a mobile phone but they have loaned her one from the hospital to use while she is in there.  She is getting lots of visitors and attention which is good. I don't know how much longer she will be in the hospital. I should ask her the next time I call her. She sounded like she was doing very well. I hope and pray it continues.

This last weekend was the Special Olympics Summer Games. Eileen did not go this year due to her on-going condition. She was disappointed, but as I told her, there is always next year. Going this year would not have been prudent. Somewhere in our minds I think that the both of us thought that she would be recovering from her surgery by now, but she has yet to see the gynecologist. That will be on the 14th, and then I think they need to do some further testing before they even consider what comes next. The waiting is very difficult mentally and physically. She is very tired much of the time and does have some discomfort, but she remains positive.  Wednesday will be her first night on her own in her new apartment.  I hope that they have her internet, etc. sorted by then. She is still planning on going out for supper with us on Wednesday night and of course we have a movie night planned for Saturday. 

Yesterday we sat down and did menus for her for the next two weeks and made up a grocery list. She won't have to get too much as I already sorted out a lot of meat, etc. for her.  She is off to a good start.

I give thanks each day for the blessing of enough. I am so grateful for the windows of heaven and the blessings which have been poured out upon me. I am grateful for my home and my family, for the ability which I have to enable me to earn sufficient enough for my own needs and then enough to help others a bit. God is good.

It is quiet and cool in here this morning. Very comfortable. I had a great night's sleep. I do find that I am awake every two hours to go to the loo. I don't know if that is normal or not, but at least I have been sleeping well in between times. I do find that I am very tired come late afternoon some days unless I take a short nap at some point during the day.  I never used to be a napping kind of a person. That is slowly changing. Cinnamon likes to get up and lay on top of me as I recline in my chair. She purrs and makes biscuits.  I love it.

My life is not a bad life. It has not ended up the way I thought it would end up, but that is okay. It is still a very good life. I have all that I need. I am comfortable and I have family that I love close by. I have a place to worship that I feel comfortable in. I have friends. I have a purpose that keeps me busy and occupied. The only thing missing is perhaps someone to share it with, but that's okay. I would rather be on my own methinks. I have much more freedom that way.  Life is good.

A thought to carry with you  . . .

I hope you have a beautiful day today and that your week ahead is filled to overflowing with small and wonderful things which bring you joy and the people you love most. Don't forget along the way!

The little niceties of life that make

A world of difference in our daily round,

A bordered table cloth . . . a serviette,

A pan of homemade biscuits nicely browned.

A blue mug filled with yellow daffodils,

A silver urn set on a plastic stand,

Dimity dresses for the afternoon,

Old fashioned rings decking a lady's hand.

Tea in thin cups . . . sliced of buttered bread,

Sweet clotted cream poured from a pewter jug,

A golden fire flickering in the grate,

Throwing its colors o'er the crimson rug.

A summer cottage up beside the lake,

Where one can fish and dream along a shore,

Watching the sun go down behind the hills,

Letting its peace seep into your heart's deep cove.

Bikes for the children . . . swimming suits and slacks,

And all the trappings of modern day,,

And for your peace of mind and quiet sleep,

A little nest egg safely tucked away.

These and a hundred unnamed lovely things,

That make life sweet and give a spirit wings.

~Edna Jacques, Niceties of Life

Hills of Home, 1952

This speaks to me of small and simple things which embroider our lives and bring joy into them. Little ordinary pleasures that might not mean anything to anyone else, but mean the world to us, and which help to make our simple lives all the sweeter. Oh, I would not give a fraction of what I already have in exchange for the extravagance of things held by kings and queens. My life and those I hold within it are worth far more than anything they might have or want to tempt me with.  My life flows with abundance and one of those gifts is knowing this to be true. Peace of mind, a heart filled with faith, love of family and friends, all that I stand in need of and enough to share  . . .  who could ask for anything more. A happy life is made up of small, beautiful things, all in a row. And that kind of life is within the reach of us all.

Cindy, Eileen and I went on a little adventure last evening after supper. Oh no, nothing too overly exciting, but nice all the same. We took ourselves up to the Cambridge Convenience store to get some of the Potato Salad that we were unable to get the last time we were there. Stonemill Homestyle Potato Salad. It is the best ready made potato salad you can buy. Its right up there with homemade in my opinion. We love it. The last time we were there, just a week ago  . . .  they had none. We were so disappointed. We called earlier this week to see if we could order some, and they said they were bringing in 72 containers of it on Thursday. Friday night, and we got two of the last half dozen or so that were in the fridge. Yes, it is that popular.

We got a few other bits as well.  Frozen single sized pizzas and frozen crumbed chicken breast chunks, some bean salad and I got a big bag of sultana raisins as I was completely out of raisins. Eileen and I split a case of the fizzy flavored water drinks that we like. She got a bag of bacon bits to have at her place, Cindy got a few things. We both got paper towels.

But the best part was the ride up in the car together and the ride home. Oh we laugh and talk and its just nice, nice, nice. Eileen really loves being with the two of us. We make her smile.  She makes me smile. I do so hope that Eileen and I have built enough happy memories over these past six months to last her a lifetime after I am long gone. Time spent with family is priceless.

8 Ways to Care for our Feathered Friends

in Warm Weather.

We are under a heat warning at the moment. High temperatures and humidity. As humans we have things available to us to help to get us through these things, but our little bird friends need some help. Here are eight things we can do to help them out. Helping birds is not just for winter.

1. Provide shade. Dense hedging provides a cool place for birds to rest, particularly younger birds. 

2. Offer shelter from predators, too. Thick shrubs and hedges, especially with plenty of thorns, will prevent predators such as cats attacking, but allow just enough room for garden birds to sneak in. 

3. Delay cutting hedges until late August. Putting it off ensures nests are all empty. 

4. Use rainwater for watering. Even if you’re fortunate enough not to have a hosepipe ban, using mains water can affect wetland habitats and cause problems for the birds that live in them. 

5. Provide both drinking and bathing water. And change it regularly. Water is essential for keeping garden birds hydrated and cool, but bird baths can be a breeding ground for diseases so refill them daily and clean them thoroughly once a week. Ponds are better than baths 

6. Don’t tidy up too much. Piles of leaves and unmown corners of grass encourage the insects that birds feed on. 

7. Plant shrubs that produce berries to tempt garden birds: ivy, holly, crab apples and blackberries are all popular menu items. 

8. Place window decals on any windows that are highly reflective in order to prevent birds flying into them. Go outside and have a look to see if any of your windows are particularly difficult for birds to spot at certain times of day.

My sister has a yard that is the perfect habitat for birds and other wildlife, and it shows. You could sit for hours watching them flit back and forth from the feeders, bathe in her bird bath. We had a lot of fun one day watching a catbird have a bath.  I cleaned my birdbath just yesterday. I usually do it every couple of days. I often see Jays drinking from it and the resident chipmunk as well. I have let to see any bird bathing in it. 

It's important to clean and refill your hummingbird feeders weekly as well.

 

Tommy Hunter has died. He was a fixture of my childhood and appeared weekly on Friday nights in our family living room when I was growing up. The Tommy Hunter show was a favorite along with Don Messer's Jubilee. I know we did not have a lot of choice when it came to television viewing back then as we only had a few channels available for us to watch.  His theme song Travelling Man still brings back happy memories for me.  Rest in Peace Tommy. Thank you for some happy childhood memories.

Happy Fourth of July to my many American friends and family today.  It's 250th birthday.  Imagine that. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with the people that you love and lots of delicious food. Stay safe.  

America was always a country I loved to travel through and I had always thought that if I could live anywhere on earth, Vermont/New Hampshire would be a beautiful place to choose. I have many, many fond memories of traveling through there and visiting family there as a child. It is such a beautiful part of the country. Mind you I have never been more South than Boston and have only ever spent time in the most Northern states that border Canada. I did get to visit Utah and Idaho and thought they were lovely places as well, especially Idaho.

In any case, Happy Fourth of July!

This afternoon I am going with Cindy to take Dad and his friend Maryann out.  I am also going to pick up the Birthday pie for Cindy's birthday celebrations. Its not her birthday until Monday, but we are celebrating it tomorrow. I can't wait! I really hope she likes what I got for her.

She is such a good person. I love her very much and would give her the moon if I could. She means the world to me, but then again, you already know that. 

Of the three of us, my brother, sister and myself . . .  she is the smartest. She is intelligent without having to work for it. It just comes naturally. I am not that smart, and I think I get stupider every day. lol Seriously when I really need advice about something, she is my first go-to. I know she will never steer me wrong. She has a head of reason, whereas I am more impetuous. I now count to ten and then ask Cindy. It serves me well.

Life is very slow at the moment. Each day follows another without too much drama included. That suits me fine. I am all for the quiet life.  Excitement is highly overrated. I do have goals now, but they are much simpler than they were when I was a lot younger than what I am now. I need to take stock and get rid of a lot of tat I have hanging about my place.  Old magazines that I have been keeping, cookbooks I will never really use but bought for some unknown reason that I cannot remember.  Once I get Eileen all moved in to her own place I will begin to clear things up a bit while I still have the energy to do so. I have bins of yarn to give away, etc.  I will be keeping my art supplies and fabric in the hopes that I will one day have the time to play with them. My biggest hamper in doing all of this is my mobility. I guess I can put it all on the give away site on Facebook. I am just a bit leery about having a lot of strangers coming to my house.  

Glenna across the way had a bit yard swing that she put out by the yard the other day with a free to give away sign on it and it was gone within a couple of hours.  I was quite surprised.

And with that I best leave you with a thought for the day  . . .

Estate Lane

Nova Scotia

20*C/68*F

High today 29*C/84.2*F

A sunny, sunny day

Dear Neighbor,

This is one of those July mornings that make me think of the sound of screen doors slamming and bare feet padding across the shiny cool linoleum of the kitchen floor.  Oh how the years have flown by. You never think that they will. You think you have all the time in the world and then  . . .  you have somehow without even noticing gotten to a ripe old age and the years have passed by seemingly in the blink of an eye.

I always loved to go barefoot in the summer, kicking off my rubber  sandals and running across the coolness of the grass with the sunlight breaking through the full blown leaves above, dappling the top of my head with light and shade . . . the slight rustle of the leaves brushing against each other tickling my ears. 

Summer days . . .  they stretched before us seemingly with no-end in sight  . . .  no school, hours and hours of sunlight and nothing to do but have fun, play games with our friends, swim, ride our bicycles, go on impromptu picnics, etc. Time  . . .  nothing but time to spend in fun and frolic. Nothing to worry about.  Freedom  . . .  glorious freedom from the responsibilities of school and all that entailed. It would be weeks before we missed it. For now  . . .  play, play and play some more.

The month of July will bring both of my older sons and their families over for holidays.  I am not sure but what they won't be here at the same time. I think Doug's family will be here from the 9th to the 14th, and Anthony and them will be coming over a bit later for his father's family reunion. They may overlap a bit.  I am sure I will get to see them all at some point.  I have not heard much from either lately, but then they are busy with the kids and I have been busy with Eileen.

I never got to go to camp or camping when I was growing up. Our mother was not a person who tolerated being outdoors. Too many bugs, etc. I remember being taken to the beach once, in Gimli, Manitoba. I am sure the whole experience was hellish for our mom. 

I, myself, have only been camping once. It was when we lived in London, Ontario. My ex husband was working at Camp Ipperwash for the summer with the cadets and he brought us out to stay for a few days. We stayed exactly one night. It was hellish. lol  

Someone had loaned us a tent trailer to sleep in. None of the zips worked and we got eaten alive by mosquitoes all night. Nobody slept.  The next morning we sat in their dining tent while he went to check something at his office. I remember waiting for hours for him to get back. Our son Doug was only about 9 months old. We had nothing to eat and I remember feeling really miserable. In the meantime he was having a shower, eating breakfast with his buddies, etc. (Yes, he was an ignorant so and so.) That did it for me. I never wanted to ever camp again. Not ever.  

My kids used to go to Christian Camp when they got older. And then eventually Amanda and Doug worked as counselors at the camps. I remember the first year my youngest son went to Christian Camp, he broke his arm the very first day falling off the top bunk. He insisted on staying, nevertheless. Cast and all. His sister Amanda kept an eye on him.

Anyways, camping and I do not get along well together. If I am going to go on a holiday it is going to be with a proper bed and a decent bathroom.

One of Eileen's workers sent me this photo that one of Eileen's friends took of Dad at Tim Hortons. She thought it was a nice photograph and wanted to share it with me.  I agree, it is a lovely photograph of dad.  He goes to Tim Hortons pretty much every day. My sister drives him over and drops him off and then goes back to pick him up after an hour or so. He has a cup of tea and a doughnut usually.   His hearing is very poor so he usually doesn't talk much to anyone, but he smiles a lot and he is acknowledged which is good. When he used to go to the mall he was usually ignored. It is good for him to get out of the house and have a change of scenery. 

His life has gotten very narrow . . . that happens when your mobility decreases and with his hearing being so bad, it has gotten even narrower.  He doesn't drive at all any more, which is a good thing as I do not think he would be a safe driver. His sight is not great and his hearing is almost non-existent. You need both if you are going to drive.

I snapped this photograph of Cinnamon relaxing after dinner last night. Her two front paws were crossed in front of her and as you can see she had one of her back legs stretched out behind her. She was very comfortable. Eileen is going to miss Cinnamon and Nutmeg a lot when she moves out, and I am sure they will also miss her.  She plans on getting her own cat at some point. We will see. First we have to get her settled into her apartment.

Yesterday she went with one of her workers to Dollarama and bought a few things. Some kitchen utensils and baking pans. She got some rubber gloves and dusting cloths. Bit by bit. She does need to get a broom, mop, bucket, etc. Eventually she will have all in place. There are so many things you don't think about until you are actually living in a place. It will all get sorted.

She has been doing her diamond art daily. She really enjoys it and it keeps her hands and mind busy.  It is a great hobby for her. I am almost tempted to do it, but for my eyes being the way that they are and then what would I do with anything I made??? I have no space or time for it. She makes some very pretty things though. She is very good at it.

It is Cindy's birthday on Monday. I guess we will be celebrating it on Sunday. I would have liked to do something here for her, but to be honest with Eileen here it is a bit difficult.  Also it is so hard to get Dad in and out of the house. It is better for him to just stay at hers. I have ordered a Coconut Cream pie from Pelton's for her which I will pick up tomorrow and take over on Sunday.  I have gotten her something really nice for her Birthday, which I cannot tell you what it is. (Hard for me to do. lol) But I can tell you after I give it to her. I did get Dad a card to give to her from him, but I haven't been able to get it to him yet.  I suppose I will just slip into his room on Sunday and he can get it ready then.

Oh, to have a life where these are the largest problems we have to suffer through. We really are blessed. I know.

Sheila remains in hospital and has not yet been transferred to the hospital here in town. They are waiting for a bed to open up. As far as I know she is doing quite well.  I need to call the neighbor across the way to find out for sure.  

I really am out of the loop, but that's on me.

I need to be more pro-active in finding things out.

I stay too much to myself.

I do not know what happens to my days. I seem to fritter them away with this and that and accomplish not much at all if anything. I have not done any writing in my journals or sewing, painting, etc. and yet my days disappear in a whiff of smoke. There are so many things I want to get done and need to get done but I don't seem to be able to get started on them. I am in a stupor of activity I guess. It used to be that by this time of the morning I was dressed and my bed was made and I was ready to begin on the rest of my day, but here I sit and none of those things have been done.  My mind drifts a lot these days and I find myself getting easily distracted. I need to work harder to stay focused. 

I had bought some book-keeping journals that I was planning on sorting but they sit there unopened. I really need to do better. I got locked out of my CRA account (Government Tax account) months and months ago. Apparently mine was one of a number of accounts that was compromised and I just have not been able to get back in. The concentration it would take for me to do so seems elusive, or I have gotten really lazy. I don't know which, but one of them is true. I need to do better.

I really don't have much more to say this morning and I know I have wasted a lot of time writing what I have written which really isn't much of anything, so I apologize for that.  I guess some days/weeks/months/years are just more exciting. But then again, simple and everyday happenings, no drama, humble living . . .  that is not a bad thing really.

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today, Garlic Butter Grilled Cheese Dogs. This was a recipe I adapted from All Recipes and I struggled to get it to look like theirs did.  I actually ended up doing it twice. The first time I used regular all beef hot dogs, and they shriveled up into nothing.  The second time I used Juicy Jumbo All-Beef hot dogs and as you can see they shrank in size to just fit into the buns.  Is it me or are they pumping our foods full of water and stuff so that they look like they used to but we are only getting half of what we used to get?  In any case, these were really delicious. (Even if they don't look so good.)

I hope you have a great Friday. I had a phone call yesterday to say my eye glasses are ready to pick up. I am not sure if I will go today to get them or not. Usually on Fridays I go with Cindy to take Dad with his friend Maryann to the mall, but there is nowhere for me to park at Cindy's at the moment so that she can get dad's car out, so I will probably just stay home today. Its not like I don't have a ton of stuff to do here anyways! I do! So I predict a busy day here for me at home.  I know that those of you West of here are suffering from high temps and humidity. Try to stay cool and hydrated. Just be safe everyone.  Don't forget!
