Come away with me

This is one of my favorite singers. I like to listen to her when I have a moment by myself and a cup of coffee. I wanted to have this song as a background music for my last post but I didn't understand how to make it first. But as you see I didn't give up. Then when I was at YouTube I suddenly realized how to do. So now you can listen and watch Norah ( she's really beautiful) ore my pics.

Tranquil Sunday

A week ago I went outside to get a power walk along the river. But I couldn't stop myself taking pics of everything beautiful I saw. So afterwards I understood that this gave me more power to the soul than to my muscles.

On the river there's a little island where they have a café in the summer. I went over the bridge and run into an art exhibition with a religious theme.

When I was here I could hear the water and far away the church bells. I don't have words to describe all this I hope you understand that this was a strong experience for a busy mother sometimes wishing that she could ask for a Time Out in her life!

It's still there

I was afraid that the snow would melt immediately this morning so I had to take the pic in the dark before I went to work 10 kilometers from home. There it was storming wet snow for ours and when we left the school all the snow had melt. But when I got home it still was a white beautiful quilt covering the ground in my neighborhood. My work is situated closer to the sea and that makes the difference.

The first snow!

It is still dark outside so the pic isn't good. But everyone in our house came up this morning and yelled happy:

- Wow, snow!

But than we thought about the difficulties when we're going to our works and schools because it's very slippery outside and we haven't been able to change to winter tires.

Will be continued

Memories and creativity

As I told you before I work at a school. Today when I was out at the schoolyard when the children had a break, I found some of my pupils (about 10 years old) in the forest behind the old school-building. They wanted to show me what they have been building. A sentimental but also happy feeling got in to me because I went back 35 years and remembered myself building exactly the same things with stones and branches. Sometimes it happened that there were some other builders near that took a special stone or perch from us - and that wasn't popular!

I think it's so fascinating that children do this things nowadays even if they have so much toys and other things to play with.

The shrinking world

This amazing blog-world! Nelle, in Stone Hill Farm wrote in her comment on my post (Bart, Anne and Th Meehan) that she had really met Th Meehan and talked to him, a few years years ago! Isn't that hard to believe. But I love these coincidences.

Anyway, the chicken-dish on the pics isn't a coincidence. No, it's an example of a food inspiration that I got when I red Nelles blog. We had a very nice Friday dinner, the whole family together and the chicken with goat cheese and spinache tasted very good. Thanks Nelle and E!
