Above is the photo Cee asked us to pick a topic from. I could not resist linking to the below post from years ago that looks like it could have been taken in the same place that Cee’s was. I took these photos at Anne of Green Gable’s house on Prince Edward Island. If you’ve seen them before, hope you enjoy seeing them again:
Our inner and outer worlds are so connected that it is often hard to separate them. For each outer, there is an inner, and to depict one without the other is often impossible.

Patriotic Study, Slightly Askew. Prince Edward Island, 2016
This photo is posted for the Norm’s Thursday Doors prompt.
These perky ladies lifted their faces to the sun at the Alexander Graham Bell house on Prince Edward Island.

My friend Dianne Hicks Morrow would be the first to call her hundred year old farmhouse on Prince Edward Island a “crooked little house,” Trying to square it up by cropping proved to be impossible. The floor in the kitchen slopes by inches from side to side and when I gave their grandson a top, it continually whirled in the same direction—down the floor in a straight line from the sink to the wall on the other side of the kitchen.
The front door pictured is, I think, an original. I didn’t do a very good job of photographing it, but wanted to share it nonetheless. She’s written a book about this house she and her husband Andrew love so much entitled, “Fixing Up the Farmhouse,” which is a most enjoyable read. Almost as enjoyable as my week-long visit there in early September, 2016.
For the Thursday Doors Challenge.
Looks like autumn is approaching Prince Edward Island.

There was still more to discover at the beach on Prince Edward Island, including one big surprise. (Different day, different beach.) If you want to read the captions to share the plot of that day, you’ll need to click on the first photo and then follow the arrows.
And now, to answer the questions:
Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewerly?
Yes. I have owned tons of rocks! We used them to make art lamps and I have always loved collecting rocks, including the ones I used to make creches the year before last. I was a jewelry maker before I moved to Mexico and so also had trays of unset gems. You are barking up the right tree with this question, Cee!
What is your greatest strength or weakness?
Chocolate! Guess it qualifies as a weakness. Definitely not a strength.
What makes you feel grounded?
Writing or creating art.
Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food?
I actually prefer most foods cold so would choose to eat cold food over hot. Ice cream!!!
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I was so grateful for time spent with Dianne and Andy, my wonderful hosts on Price Edward Island. now I look forward to eighteen more days spent with Forgottenman as well as other friends and family members. Then I’ll be grateful to go home to see Morrie, Frida and Diego–and hear the tales of my house sitters Ian and Pen, for whom I am also grateful.

If you were given a boat or yacht today, what would you name it? (You can always sell the yacht later)
After tonight’s experience, I would name it the “Abegweit.”
Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Plus what would the 8th dwarf’s name be?
I’m very “Happy” tonight, just having seen the concert described in my last post. I think the eighth dwarf’s name should be “Sleazy,” just because we need some comic relief in that tale!
Name a song or two which are included on the soundtrack to your life?
Hey Jude, Long Way Home, What a Wonderful World, Las Mananitas (Little Mornings),
Complete this sentence: I like watching life in the plaza or in any passing crowd.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I’m grateful for my friends Dianne and Andy and everything they’ve shown me on Prince Edward Island, where I will have been for a week when I leave day after tomorrow. They’ve driven me, fed me, entertained me, shared their family and friends and generally done everything they can do to make me feel comfortable. I’ve had a fabulous time. See the photos above for a very few images from the last week. More to follow.
