At home, it was blueberries and raspberries and currants and wild wineberries (common on N shore of Long Island)... at my grandparents it was blueberries and huckleberries. Which I haven't had since I was maybe nine or ten but remember so well. Snowdrop will have wonderful memories too.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538372490906451906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-13515030561678401372016-07-19T17:52:40.683-05:002016-07-19T17:52:40.683-05:00When I have the extended one-on-one time with Cade...When I have the extended one-on-one time with Cadence, as I will this weekend, I'm able to capture some of the lovely ordinary moments the way you do nearly every day. And I think the telling word is "capture". We grammas realize that this precious time is all too fleeting. We make the most of the small moments.<br /><br />I think Snowdrop will remember this time with you - if only with a flash of euphoria under the warm sun, triggered by the scents of a garden, or of berries! I have it in me, I feel it, my Grandmother's garden. With my own mother, not a gardener, it's the memory of sheets hanging on the line against the blue sky, just because I knew she was there... the sun-warmth of the wading pool she filled for me, bucket by bucket... waking to the sight of my curtains moving in the breeze and listening, listening carefully, for the sounds of my mother in the house.<br />JoyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023075108683227605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-35307378639312312032016-07-19T09:36:50.329-05:002016-07-19T09:36:50.329-05:00Yes, I have been walking and noticing the early gu...Yes, I have been walking and noticing the early gum blossom and wattles in gardens and bush. We are only half way through winter but there are jonquils and camellias in gardens everywhere, with daffodils and magnolias just starting up. It helps me see the world differently.
