Celebrating Thanksgiving with our Neighbors...

Hello Everyone... 

Just wanted to wish Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends.. 

Each year Terry and I try to celebrate along with them.. 

I am thankful for the many friendships we have made with this blog and they have blessed our daily life.. 

It is amazing that in the stats for the blog the Americans who follow the Blessed Hearth are triple the Canadians.. 

Hmmmm.. I wonder why.. smile.. 

But for whatever reason we have met some wonderful people wherever they live... 

So... 

We already had our Thanksgiving in October with turkey and  will be having another one or two at Christmas .. 

Therefore, as it was just the two of us we had chicken.. 

Chicken, mashed potatoes, dressing, carrots, gravy, coleslaw and pickles.. 

It was lovely and we were thinking of you all and hoping you were having a blessed day.. 

My sister-in-law gave me a small pumpkin yesterday so that was great for a little decor.. smile..

Most of my Fall decorating has been put away and hopefully next week I can get my Christmas started.. 

Well, this is short and sweet tonight.. 

Two nights in a row is pretty good for me to post, eh?  grin.. 

Take care, dear hearts and may God bless and keep you in the coming year.. 

Sending love from the New Brunswick on the Eastern coast of Canada.. 

Hugs.. 

the last few days...

good evening everyone... 

do you know this is the second time that i am doing this posting.. 

i had it all finished and went to correct a spelling and the whole thing disappeared.. sigh.. 

so i guess you will get the short version, now.. 

probably for the best anyway... smile.. 

i will just share some pics of the last few days with you.. 

a bouquet of daffodils...

from you know who...

something i look for every time we drive to Sussex...

a wonderful mother's day spent with our dear family... 

a gift of rhubarb from a sweet neighbor.. 

ours is not ready yet... 

making a loaf of bread to thank them for the rhubarb ...

and including a bottle of jam.. 

the recipe is HERE for my Mom's recipe..

our tea time... 

oh, those dear sheep...

soaking apricots ....

to make a huge batch of apricot rhubarb jam.. 

it tastes kind of like marmalade...

trying out another new rhubarb recipe.. 

oriental rhubarb jam... 

good with pork or chicken, i am thinking...

i made thirty some jars of jam today... smile..

thank you for all the sweet mother's day wishes.. 

hope you all had an awesome day, too.. 

we have a full week planned. 

terry is putting a new roof on the old farm so i will likely be going out there with him...

by the way...

did you know that Jesus can be your everything?..

 and  when He is your everything then your everything can do anything...

that is a little statement made by Rev. T. F. Tenney on a tape I listened to today..

so true... 

blessings dear friends.. thanks for dropping by...
