Last days of Winter....

Hello dears.. 

Another week has come and gone and Spring is just that much closer.. 

We can smell it in the air and the evenings are beginning to stretch ahead a bit.. 

The sun sets later and I notice the sunlight on the kitchen wall much later in the day.. 

I mostly love that part of Spring except that now Terry begins to work outside after supper and I really prefer that he come in and relax.. 

Like I do.. 

I don't why but I always feel guilty when he is working and I am not.. grin.. 

Last week we had our town day.. 

I picked up one of my UK magazines..

I so enjoy them.. 

They are beautiful and not a lot of adverts and even the ones they have are lovely to look at.. 

Found some books at the Thrift store and we stopped by to visit my Mom.. 

She had a little present for me.. 

This is a beautiful handkerchief she wanted me to add to my album of Gram's hankies but this one is from her.. 

Terry dropped me by one of my fave health food shops.. 

Sequoia  .. 

I wanted some onion sprouting seeds.. 

They gave me 3 recipe booklets that are very interesting.. 

I would like to make the seed treats in the pic above.. 

I think I actually get a high from the wonderful aroma they have going on there..

Another day is over and the lamps are lit.. 

The days just seem to come and go so quickly, don't you think? 

I decided to try another new bread recipe.. 

It is really delicious and so different.. 

I love it toasted with a few different spreads..

 Recipe here..

I love dolls.. 

Do you?  

I have a collection of small bisque ones and such.. 

Saw a neat idea in Pinterest and decided to try it.. 

I just needed an old bottle (this is one my Dad bought me at an auction years ago) some vintage laces and the dolls.. 

I forgot to take a pic of it finished... Sorry.. 

Next time.. 

Love fresh herbs... 

Thyme, Basil and Rosemary are my 3 most used ones, I think.. 

Are you ladies using fresh or dried through the Winter.. 

I have certainly enjoyed the ones I dried at the farm last Summer... 

Then I messed around with some old florals I found in the workshop..

Not a great work of art for sure but I did not have a lot to work with.. 

Adds some colour in there, though.. 

Another view from one of our drives.. 

We went to Calais on Saturday just for fun.. 

Love looking at the fabrics and such.. 

We took along a couple of these muffins to have with our coffee on the drive there.. 

They are the banana ones I shared a post or two ago but I only used 3 small bananas and 1 cup of blueberries..  

Yesterday we had a lovely worship service with our church family and then a supper meal at St. Huberts with our family celebrating March Break.. 

I was thinking that it will not be very long and our March break days will be over even with our grandsons.. 

They are growing up so fast.. 

Two more are graduating this year and there will only be one left to finish school... 

There will be four of them in college for a few years anyway.. 

Darling boys.. 

Well, this is all for tonight.. 

Not much really ... Just a little catch up with our days here.. 

Hope you are all enjoying these last days of Winter ... 

Thanks so much for your sweet visit!  

God bless.. xo
