A Fall Ramble and Roll Post for you...

Hello everyone.... 

Thanks for dropping by the Blessed Hearth today.

Just a bit of ramble and roll here for you.. 

a bit of this and that... 

It is a beautiful autumn day here in New Brunswick!

The rich colours of Fall are here and we are indeed blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here in Canada!

We are so thankful beyond measure for all the Lord has provided and blessed us with.. 

The old chorus goes.. 

There is a roof up above me.. 

A fine place to sleep..

Food on my table and shoes on my feet.. 

You gave me your love, Lord 

And a fine family.... 

Thank you, Lord for your blessings on me.. 

So true... 

a special time of thanksgiving...

Hope all is well in your world... 

Fall is here in the upper hemisphere and it is a great season.. 

So fresh after the hot summer.. 

Makes us feel more alive, I think.. 

It sure brings out the cozy... ❤

Rambling on....

I have done a wee bit of decorating for the season but not nearly as much as usual... 

We are not having our family meal here this year.. 

So many are working or away or busy.. 

That happens every once in awhile.. 

Are you all having a big dinner at your house?

We will hopefully all be together at Christmas as always so that is something I so plan for and look forward to.. 

Mentioning Christmas... 😙

This is a beautiful quilt I picked up a bit ago at the thrift store ... 

It was only eight dollars and just right for Christmas decorating.. 

I love red and white quilts, don't you? 

Rolling along... 

Terry took me on a road trip yesterday since we weren't having the kids here for Thanksgiving dinner.. 

I have been wanting to go to Maine to visit the Amish Pioneer store and have a little drive around the area... 

These chickens were right beside the road... 

It has wheels on it and they were just sitting there.. 

Comfy as could be... 

I loved the clotheslines they had.. 

It is quite easy to tell which houses are Amish.. 

Buggies, no hydro and such... 

I love driving by them.. ❤

We saw the buffalo farm.... 

Last time we were there they were standing up but I guess this time they were having their seista. 😏

I did get this lovely cook book and several other neat finds at the store.. 

I love thier unique dish cloths, canning and kitchen supplies and oh.. 

their cinnamon candies.. 

I bought a bag for my sister and one for me.. 

This is a tuna macaroni cassarole I made for lunch from the cookbook.. 

It was very good.. 

Rambling along here.. 

  

I did a lot of canning this year.. 

Well, I guess I always do... 

mustard pickles 

and a sweet friend gave me a box of green beans to can.

I so appreciated it.. 

Our garden died mid summer due to the heat and us not at the farm to water it.. 

We have had such a drough here in southern New Brunswick.. 

Still not getting much rain.. 

Praying it comes before freeze up or we will be in a mess.. 

Any way.. 

Rolling along..

A few dinners and such..

stir fry and rice.

the best zucchini bread from my friend Carla... 

white bread and herb and garlic cream cheese spread... 

fish chowder

I dried some pears and need to do more.. 

I keep the really good dried ones in a separate jar to use for my 

gift tags.. 

Look so neat glued on a tag for giving away preserves... 

Still rambling along.... 

Yes!

I loved this!

I just pray God keeps me able and mobile enough that I can make and do for quite a long time yet!

Such a blessing, Lord!  Thank you!

Spent an afternoon with these two dear girls...

Shonda has been a part of this blog since I started it back in 2010... 

This is her sweet friend that is like a sister to her.. 

She was visiting as she lives in another province.. 

Christine is my most faithful follower.. 

Love her very much! ❤

And we are still rolling.. 😏

Was so thankful to celebrate with this dear man for his birthday dinner.. 

He loves Chinese buffet and had a great dinner and a discount.. 

He loves that!  

LOL .... even if I am paying for it.. 

We have celebrated a lot of birthdays together.. 

❤❤❤

Oh, I wanted to show you the sweetest thing I bought from amazon..

This is so sweet.. 

It is a lamp which is probably for children or old ladies.. lol.. 

I have it on my night table and when I have to get up to go to the bathroom all I have to do is tap his butt.. 

It has 3 settings but the lowest is enough for me to see to get 

to the bathroom without waking Terry or myself...lol..

It doesn't run on batteries but plugs in like your phone.. 

My precious sister is in a home now and so I got one for her.. 

In case she wakes at night and just needs a low light for a few minutes.. 

She just loved it, too.. 

Amazon.. smile.

I loved this ...It was on Tumblr.. 

Well, dear hearts this is it for another time.. 

Thank you so much for dropping by and for your sweet notes.. 

I try to answer them now... 

Although I may miss one or two.. 

Have a great fall and enjoy everyday...

As I say so often now.. 

This world is not my home.. 

I am just passing through...

I don't need to get my heart and mind all involved in the chaos of this world!  And there is certainly lots of that!

All we really can do is to really pray for so many things.. 

Lean on the Lord and trust him for the peace he brings.. 

Enjoy everyday and make them count.. 

Tell someone that Jesus is coming soon and that we need to prepare our hearts... 

Take care!!

God bless you all.. 

A little devotional for you...
