Random Saturday..

Hello everyone.. 

So glad you dropped by tonight.. 

 This is just another post of random everyday and it is once again a Saturday.. smile.. 

The weeks are flying, eh? 

Spring is coming along fine here in Eastern Canada.. 

Slow compared to some perhaps but what we here are used to.. 

Terry and I went to Bangor for a couple of days this week.. 

Just a little getaway and a bit of retail.. 

Not that Terry does much shopping but he is a patient man.. 

I love going to places like Mardens, Goodwill and Between Friends.. 

I am not a mall nor clothes shopper.. 

But I do love fabrics, old dishes and such.. 

Oh and the Christmas Tree Shoppe of course.. 

Love the books at Goodwill and the fabrics and yarns at Mardens.. 

Look what I found at Between Friends.. 

This wonderful cast iron dish??? 

Mom said it probably belonged in an old stove.. 

I will be seasoning it as soon as we go to the farm.. 

What would you use it for?  

Found this sweet apron.

Nice an big... smile.. 

And.. 

I love these.. 

A package of Eco napkins for the farm and a big box of large brown bread bags.. 

So great to gift bread in or anything really... 

I know.. 

I like the weirdest thing.. 

They will come in handy quite often, I think... 

Made a little Stir Fry... 

I could put Bok Choy in everything.. 

Does your family like it?  

Terry... not so much.. 

Oh and I made Dustin some cookies.. smile.. 

Took a drive up to the farm to check things out ... 

I can feel the place calling my name.. 

As soon as it gets a bit warmer we will be there for the day and getting the house in order again.. 

It won't be long... 

I am trying to get rid of some things and this is one.. 

A tea set... 

I have to get it put on Kijiji or something.. 

I love the set but there are just so many dishes a person needs.. smile.. 

And speaking of selling.. 

Our old cottage in St. Martins... 

I am trying my best to persuade Terry to get with it and put it on the market.. 

We can't be in two places in the Summer and we seem to be going into a new phase of our lives and enjoying the farm more.. 

So.. 

If any of you readers know of anyone who would like an old house by the sea let us know.. 

You can see the Bay and hear it but we are not on the beach.. 

Well, dear hearts this is all for tonight.. 

Tomorrow is once again the Lord's Day... 

I came across this ...

One of my favourites.. 

Because he loves me, says the Lord... 

This Psalm touches my heart every time I read it.. 

So blessed to have experienced a genuine relationship with the God of the universe and because I love Him then He is always available to me..

For whatever.. 

Do you know Him as your own? 

John 3:16

He loves you... 

I hope you all have a good evening and thanks so much for visiting and I look forward to your sweet notes..

God bless ... 

Hugs.. 

This week....

Hello everyone.. 

Here we are on another Saturday night and another week has come to a close.. 

We have had quite a week but the temps have been lovely and the snow is leaving very quickly.. 

The snow pics on this post were taken last week and what a difference there is.. 

That is the church my husband attended when he was a child.. 

Still  a lot around but the fields are clearing but there are still  patches and banks here and there that will take a bit longer... 

At least now, we know Spring has arrived in Maritime Canada... smile..

This is a picture post of this  week's doings... 

Nothing special for you this time, I am afraid.. smile.. 

I have mentioned many times that this blog is about the simple life that Terry and I live... 

Just a keeper of the home even though we are retired... 

The cookies I bake up and put 2/3 in the freezer because we don't need them.. Then when someone drops by there is hopefully a bag there that I can take out.. 

The little craft items that somehow find there way into my day....

A tea cozy that we made at Keepers Meeting.. 

Then we take little drives to see how many deer there are.. 

They are everywhere.. 

So glad they survived the Winter snows... 

Trying to put plants every room in our home.. 

I love the look of them and they are so good for the air we breath.. 

I have a not so secret love for these birds... 

If only my husband felt the same.. 

Alas.... no.... grin..

A beautiful book I bought at the thrift store.. 

Hoping to frame several of the beautiful photos in the book.. 

Still making soup ... often...

Hamburger and tomato and veggies and herbs.. 

mmmmmm...

A simply lovely view that my cousin sees everyday.. 

This is on the way to our old farm.. 

The snow is almost gone from the lane so next week, Lord willing, I will do an old farm day post... smile.. 

Another craft I tried but did not work out... 

I have to try this one again.. smile.. 

Then... 

O HAPPY DAY... 

My parcel from sweet Shane arrived that I won... 

Wrapped up so beautifully...

I was so thrilled to receive this all the way from New Zealand.. 

I have a special place for it in one of the spare rooms and will share when it is finished... 

So French.. 

Thank you, dear Shane.. 

You can find her HERE...

Terry brought home some apples.. 

So.. 

Apple pies were made just in time for some sweet company... 

And.... 

this is a photo that a dear reader from Alaska sent me.. 

It is her own private tea room... 

Beautiful, eh.. 

Love the colors and the daintiness of it all.. 

Thanks, Delores.. 

If any of you have a pic of your coffee or tea corner please send it to me in my email and I will post it.. 

OK.. 

Well, this is all for tonight my friends.. 

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day so we are looking forward to a lovely day.. 

Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving me your kind notes.. 

I so appreciate it.. 

Also, welcome to the new followers of the blog... 

May God bless and keep you..
