Macro Monday – From Acorn to Oak Tree
….June 30, 2025
Last year we had an abundance of acorns. When you have a metal roof you become acutely aware of that fact when they start to fall.
I’ve never given much thought as to how acorns germinate to become trees until this summer. The pathways around my cottage are littered with tiny oak saplings and directly below the leaves are the acorns that have ruptured open and developed roots growing into the ground and leafy stems reaching for the sky. Luckily they are easy to pull up or I would have dozens of unwanted oak trees on my property.

Sunday Trees – The Trees at the End of the Road
…thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2025/06/29/sunday-trees-592/
Every year I record the decomposition of the trees that used to house a treehouse on the edge of the beach. I love all the different stages that they’ve gone through.
First Breakfast at the Cottage
…June 30, 2025
I arrived at my cottage for the first time this season. Knowing we were going to be in London for a month I hired two young men (friends of the family) to go to the cottage and open it up, tidy, sweep, wipe down counters and set up the deck furniture and build me a railing for the deck. It was the best money I ever spent.
When I arrived I only had to make up my bed, cover the couches, start the fridge and put away the food. Today I will do a deeper clean of the cupboards and give all the dishes a quick wash.
This morning I made my first thermos of filter coffee and prepared oatmeal with fresh Ontario strawberries, drizzled with wildflower honey, cream and cinnamon. Yum!
