Spring is here!!

Hello everyone... 

So glad to have you visit.. 

It is finally Spring here in New Brunswick.. 

Warm sunny days or cloudy ones with lovely laundry winds.. 

Yesterday I washed and dried all of the throws, bedding and such.. 

They blew out so nice and not a wrinkle in them and they smell beautiful!

Terry worked outside in the yard with raking and all.. 

  A spring blessing for sure..

Today it was raining so Terry washed woodwork, doors and window frames.. 

He is a good man! smile..

I cleaned drawers and closets in our bedroom.. 

I am a lover of books.. Need I say more?  grin.. 

I now have two huge bags.. Some to turn in for a coupon and others to donate.. 

Trying so hard to declutter.. 

Bags of clothes we don't wear, etc, etc... smile.. 

Feels good to get some Spring cleaning under way.. 

Woke up in the night to hear rain falling and a nice brisk breeze.. 

My wind chime clunking away.. 

Another lovely Spring blessing.. 

I know my window is open in all seasons but rain sounds better then snow.. grin.. 

In the kitchen this week I made some Homemade Mayo with my stick blender and organic eggs.. 

What a neat way to make mayonnaise.. 

Here is the link..

I saw this on Master Chef Australia!  

Their recipe was only 1 egg yolk, 1/2 tsp. Dijon Mustard, lemon juice from half of a lemon, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 cup of oil... 

The recipe above on the link is just a bit different but it is pretty much the same.. It only took about 2 minutes to make.. 

I used it to make the Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad for supper the other night.. 

As always I potter away in the pantry.. 

Making biscuits, cookies or a loaf of bread. 

Made some cookies and fudge to mail out west.. smile.. 

I am doing very well in keeping the pantry organzied.. 

I redid it over the winter and Terry painted the herb cupboard and hung some lights ...

I got rid of so many pans and stuff I didn't use.. 

Makes it so much easier to keep.. 

I am a pantry lover.. 

Looking forward to working in the farm one this summer... 

Did you notice my new fish?  

Skittles... 

I had put him in a coffeepot as I had saw the idea on the web but there was not enough room for him to swim in.. 

This big bottle is much better.

There are plant cuttings in the top and he feeds off of them.. 

He is named after Kyle Bush's car.. 

Don't tell my grandsons.. grin.. 

I am his only fan in this family.. lol.. 

We had a down home supper tonight.. 

Shake and Bake chicken, stuffing and mashed along with the Fiddle heads I canned last Spring and some Dill pickles from the cold cellar.. 

It will soon be Fiddlehead season here.. 

So happy with them canned rather than frozen... 

I only have 1 bottle of dills left, I think.. 

They are our favourites and are gone first... 

We went to Sussex one day and it was so neat to see the snow disappearing so quickly... We met up with Trevor (our oldest son) and he and his Dad visited their fave store together.. 

Canadian Tire.. grin.. 

Including a couple of pics of dear Charlie.. 

He loves Spring days, too.. 

He just stands on the deck and sniffs.. 

So many interesting scents for him to smell.. 

I told him I wanted his pic for Dustin (our youngest son who is his owner) to see.. 

So he just stood there saying hi.. grin.. 

Our daughter and family are in Mexico.. 

Each morning she sends me a pic to show me she is doing lovely and having a grand time.. 

Do you think she wonders if I am worrying.. 

No... not me.. grin.. 

Love love our kids!  

So thankful to the Lord for our sweet family.. 

Our kids and their spouses and 5 wonderful grandsons... 

A blessing for all seasons... 

Thanking God for the Spring and all the blessings it brings.. 

Remember ... 

Life is what you make it... 

Thanks for visiting and your sweet comments here and on the Face book page.. 

Love hearing from you dear people.. 

God bless.. xo
