A Foggy Drive ,,

Hello everyone.. 

How is your week going?  

Terry and I took a little tour on Monday..

 It was a very rainy, windy and foggy day ..

Most people love driving in the sunshine but me being a fowl weather lover, enjoy these kind of days when they come and love driving in the rain.. Always did.. smile..

So...

 I talked the dear man into taking me for a spin.. 

He wanted to check the basement for water at the old farm, anyway so we decided to take a little round about drive to get there.. 

With a couple of little Sprout Sandwiches (my fave, remember?) and a couple of macaroons we were on our way..  

Want to come with us?  

First, we stopped in a little town near us as Terry had to do an errand.. 

Main Street was not very busy but it was very wet.. 

Then we made another important stop.. smile.. 

Our famous Canadian coffee shop.. 

Tim Hortons.. 

Then we were away... 

There was a bit of snow left and the little byways were slushy... 

And some flooding.. 

This lovely place was almost an island unto itself.. 

But onwards and forward.. 

We headed to a place called Elgin.. 

A beautiful little village here in New Brunswick

Folks had their fires going .. 

Nothing like a wood fire to warm up a place and get rid of the dampness.. 

There are so many rivers and streams in Albert County.. 

And they were spreading over their banks.. 

A little walkway along the river..

Notice the bank of fog.. 

And the red dogwood... 

Farming country around about there.. 

Beautiful barns and old farm houses... 

A childhood friend of mine lives here.. 

Lovely, eh?  

And this took us back..

Flower power.. grin.. 

Fog as far as the eye can see.. 

The snow is almost gone from the fields.. 

Not that it will last.. 

It is cold here tonight and we still have a couple of months of Winter weather.. 

I am sure we will have much more snow... 

Now, we are headed to our old farm.. 

It was really foggy..

We are almost there.. 

Here is our brook... 

Running swift... 

And there is the old farm ... 

Our old getaway.. 

The lane was clear and we could get in.. 

Terry made a fire .. 

Just so the house knew we were there for a bit, anyway.. grin.. 

A lovely way to spend some time.. 

A rainy day, a little lunch and a country drive.. 

Simple blessings.. 

Now .. 

Homeward bound.. 

The lights are coming on and it is time to get back and make supper... 

I hope your enjoyed our little tour..

So thankful tonight for this time in our lives.. 

Blessed beyond measure.. 

Thank you, Lord...  

And thank you so much for your sweet visit and comments.. 

Praying you have a wonderful week... 

Hugs.. 

Psalms 147:7-8 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

Those old back roads just keep calling my name....

Good Evening, my dears..

Hope all is well with you ..

A little simple post for tonight.. 

I thought you might like to go along with us on a little field trip we took last week up into places with names such as Collier Mountain, Meadow, Pleasant Ridge, Hillside, Ferndale and  Elgin.. 

Not a lot of traffic in these hills.. 

Just a few early hunters out checking to see what was about.. 

The windmill farm certainly is visible in many areas for miles around...

Many old houses and barns ... 

Empty ... 

 They may have moved to town... sigh..

Yet there are still folks living in these areas.. 

They have wonderful old homes that have been around for many a year.. 

Their views are splendid..

Lots of brooks and streams and old bridges ...

Clear beautiful water...

Farms with cattle and there are horses at almost every farm..

Some dear Mama still hanging out the laundry.. 

While it is blowing in the Fall breezes

the cow bells are tinkling over in the pasture... 

A dear precious old cemetery.. 

My sweet father's stone is the fifth one...

I have 4 sets of grandparents here along with many uncles, aunts and cousins..

Some glad morning, though... smile..

Blueberry fields abound...

Aren't they the most awesome color? 

Such beauty to behold....  

Rushing streams and falls...

And sweet reminders of what is really important... 

I am not a photographer nor do I own a great camera but God has given us such beauty in this old world..

And as you can see...

 The rural back roads of Albert County just keep calling my name... smile... 

Hope you enjoyed our time together.. 

So glad you dropped by..

If you are not busy stop by tomorrow and I will be posting a recipe for peasant bread that I made at the farm today... 

Welcome too to our new followers.. 

So nice to meet you all..

Loved all of your comments on the Keepers Meeting.. 

You guys are so sweet..

God bless...
