Looking out my window at Nature's joke....

Good Evening .... It is April the first which some call April Fool's Day.  Well, I guess the joke is on us here in the Maritimes.. We are having quite a storm and they are calling for 30 cm. before it is over... Spring is here, though... smile... 

I thought I would show you all how it looks out of our windows here late this afternoon and how my plants are doing... 

 

My geraniums are waiting and thriving even though it is not time to put them out yet...Pretty soon...

The pots of ivy have also made it through the Winter.  When we go to the cottage they hang in the front window...

The Spanish Lavender, though is questionable..  I am not sure if it will regain once it is back outside or not... I hope so.   I left some in the earth down at the cottage and I am hoping they will make it through... Time will tell..

Matilda just came in with the eggs....smile...

Actually, this is a dear little doll that Terry bought me.

Looking through a bedroom window at the front of the house..

And out another bedroom window... The old amish wagon is covered with snow...

I wonder where all the birdies have gone...

They sure have emptied their feeders today...

Thank you for dropping by .. 

What is the weather like in your part of the world?  

Hope you are enjoying your Spring and that Nature did not surprise you all, too.. 

Have a God blessed weekend and if you have time please leave a word or two... 

Love to you all...  

Planting and Sewing.....

Good Evening my dears..I am posting tonight on our date night.. Can you believe it?  Well, sometimes work comes before play even with the best of intentions.. Terry is up still painting the shop.. (I love the colors) and I have been sewing a ton of curtains... .Well, maybe not a ton...lol... Let's be honest and say 14 - 18 valances... I am not sure about the door or the little window over the sink... I made double ones for my sunroom last winter and loved them so am going to try it again...
For those of you who do not know or do not read my other blog which concerns my work... Primitive Lace Blogspot  then we are trying to change my shop over from the old barn to a wee cottage.  I am open only through the summer when we are here in St. Martins, N. B. at our cottage.. We stay here for about four months during the hot weather.. It is seldom ever very hot here... Thank you, Lord..And we also both have lots of cousins here... Which I love...

Anyway, back to the story ...  Like I said I have been sewing...

I need my glasses to sew now...It just keeps getting better and better..lol..

Yes, that is my curtain fabric.. One is sort of a plaid homespun while the other is a check in the same shade... Yes, girls... big surprise!!  Black!!   My favorite color as you know.. My husband thinks that I do not know any other shade..But you would have picked this too when you see the rest of the story...lol..

Just a few more days now, please Lord..

I also thought you might like to see some pics of another big job I have to do before we open...

These are a bunch of herbs for a new bed we plan to put up on one side of the shop....Which ones do you see?  You can comment and tell me..lol..or even just comment... please!!!  Oh, I want to thank my new follower.. my husband.. Isn't that sweet?  Or I am just getting deperate for followers..lol.. I receive emails from some of you who don't follow and I appreciate that also.. Thank you to everyone...

Anyway there is more.. 

These are Spanish Lavenders and some chives and mint that will also go into some pots for both places..

Then there are these ones that are waiting for us to get a bed made for them...

I always make pots to put on the window ledges Terry made me for the barn and also for the deck.  I got this duck at the Christmas Tree Shop in Maine..

So girls I hope you are having a great weekend and your date night has been better than mine... The evening isn't over yet, though..lol

We are planning on going home so we can be in our own church on Sunday.. In all this busy summer with so much to do and places to go be sure and put the Lord first in your home and in your excursions..

You still need time with Him...

Keep checking back.. I might find something that you will find interesting one of these days...

The Lord Bless and Keep You All..

Hugs..

Faye..
