It still seems like Winter here...

Good Evening everyone.. 

Just a little posting tonight.. 

We have had a couple of lovely days.. 

A bit mild during the day and then cold and windy nights.. 

Lots of icicles hanging around..

There is a big storm forecast for Wednesday.. 

That doesn't mean it will get here but it probably will.. 

You can feel the Spring in the air, though.. 

It has me in the housecleaning mode.. smile.. 

We had some sweet company the other day.. 

A few little visitors looking at books and eating cookies.. 

The dogs were up on the snowbank outside the window and would have loved to join us.. 

I knew they were coming so made a few sweeties .. 

Chocolate Macaroons... most kids love them.. 

And then my friend told me she made a pan of those squares so I had to, too.. smile.. 

Hello Dollies.. 

I took the picture of the old barn when we were on our way to the city last week.. 

I wonder if she accepted.. smile.. 

My dear Mom is turning 80 on her birthday next month.. 

We could all get together this past weekend so we did.. 

All 17 of us.. 

She had a great time..

I will post a few more pics on her actual birthday which is

 April 15.. 

Are you ladies in the Spring cleaning phase yet? 

It is not the same as it used to be, eh? 

I do want to clean some closets and drawers.. 

Take down curtains and hang them out.

That kind of stuff... 

Well, dear ladies sorry for the short post but to be honest I have a weird flu.. 

I feel much better today but have times of being so dizzy.. ugggh.. 

Thanks so much for your visits and comments.. 

So appreciate you all.. 

Ya all rock.. smile.. 

God bless..

Home Days..

Hello my dears.. 

Another very windy day here in Eastern Canada.. 

The wind has a bite to it but the clothes smelled so heavenly and dried so well.. 

I even did a line of blankets.. smile.. 

I found my camera thank the good Lord.. 

I was so happy.. 

It was in the truck although I had checked it all over before.. 

I think it was your prayers.. smile.. 

It was in under the divider ... 

Anyway.. 

Made some cookies to put in the freezer today.. 

We seem to have visitors who like them..

Here are some pics of our Easter weekend.. 

Went to breakfast at the Big Stop and actually saw my sweet cousin who works there.. (sometimes.. grin..)

The wee boys were not quite awake, I think.. 

They woke up though when we spied these herds of deer on the way home.. 

Cars were stopping to watch them.. 

Dozens of deer.. 

The dogs played themselves out.. 

One of Dustin's dogs reminds me of Sammi.. 

I miss him..

When they visit they run the fields and get their exercise.. 

They are city dogs but love the country.. 

Good bye dear old Grandma.. 

I am sure that is what he is saying.. grin.. 

Love our grandsons..

They were here for Easter Dinner.. 

Our supper this night.. 

Chicken legs, rustic potatoes and beet salad.. 

The legs and potatoes were coated in a bit of oil, rosemary,lemon, garlic, a speck of hot peppers and onion.. 

The seal of approval was given by hubby.. 

A bit substantial as he worked hard today..

It is a bit scary for me when I hear that old power saw going and see him heading for the trees.. 

A few years ago he was only going to cut down a pine tree that he was afraid would ruin the basement or roof and ended up cutting down a plum tree or two and half of the honeysuckle also.. 

Today when I heard him out there I thought perhaps the old orchard would be missing tomorrow.. grin..  

But the dear man only cut down one dead apple tree and part of another that had fallen down.. 

I love burning apple wood in the fireplace.. 

It has a particular smell that is lovely.. 

Do you ever burn apple wood?

We have a lot of old apple trees that lose a limb here and there amd Terry stacks it up just for the fireplaces... 

While taking  pics off of the deck I noticed this.. 

My gardening table.. 

I think it will be a few weeks yet but it sure needs a clean up.. 

All in due time, I guess.. 

We got around a bit last weekend.. 

Stopped by our oldest son's house and our youngest son was there visiting, too.. 

There they go.. 

Family ... 

I so love them all.. 

God has been faithful and I am thankful for all He has done and is doing.. 

Well, ladies I must go.. 

Thank you all for your sweet visits and comments.. 

Love your company.. 

Take care...
