March days at the farm...









Hello everyone.. 
Just another day at the farm post for you.. 
I find myself somewhat tiresome in the sameness of my posts but as it is all I have then here we go... smile.. 

We are having wonderful weather here in the southern part of our province... Very spring like and warm.. 
A bit of rain and wind or perhaps a speck of snow but really we are very happy with it all.. 
Today was really cold, though and windy but that's fine.. 

This is the first Winter that we have been able to visit our farm a day or two a week almost since Christmas.. 
I posted a few pantry and kitchen pics..
The pantry is still not really finished but a work in progress.. 
A bit here and there but it is getting there.. 
Still waiting on the old sink...smile.

We had a meal at the farm the other day and enjoyed a new way of eating leftover mashed potatoes.. 
Just warm up some leftover mashed, add an whisked egg, chopped parsley, onion or whatever herb you like... a bit of milk and butter... 
Stir up really well and fill greased muffin tins.. 
Sprinkle on some shredded cheese and bake in 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until heated through.. 
They were delicious... 
Also a loaf of bread.. 
I don't why but when I am in that old kitchen I want to bake bread.. smile.. 

How are your days going?  
This has been one of those weeks but today was lovely and so glad that we are blessed with health and strength... 

Our sweet grandson, Carter left yesterday for Ghana, Africa on a Youth Missions trip.. 
Praying that he will have a great time and arrive back home safe and sound.. smile.. 

Well, dear hearts this is all for today.. 
I am sorry that I do not seem to be very inspired lately.. 
We are enjoying ourselves, though.. 
And God is good.. 

Thanks for dropping by and welcome to the new followers.. 
I do post the odd thing on the Face Book page that I don't post here so if you just check in on  the badge at the top of the sidebar you can see if there is anything new.. 
You don't have to have a FB account to just click on and read.. 
Love your comments as I tell you every time.. smile.. 

God bless each and everyone of you..

Farm Day and such..


Good Evening everyone.. 
I expect you wonder where on earth I have been.. smile.. 

Well, I must be honest and tell you.. 
Running the roads ... 
Do you ever have weeks like that? 
My Mom used to say that if you run on Monday then you run all week and I am beginning to believe it.

I will begin by showing you some pics of the old farm.. 
We haven't been up together yet this Spring until this trip.. 
Terry has gone up and made a fire and sometimes I sat in the truck and read as it was quite damp in the house.. 
We couldn't get in the driveway even until a couple of weeks ago.. 

As you can see there is still snow up high on the Kent hills.. 

The house warmed up quickly, though. 
I cleaned and made lunch.. 



Kind of fun doing this.. 
Everyone has their priorities, eh? 

Terry and I were talking about that on the way up .. 
Some like to go on trips or buy new all terrain vehicles or whatever.. 


We like going to an old farm and working.. grin.. 
Anyway.. 

Lunch was Tuna Pasta Salad.. 
I just cook as much pasta as needed. 
Cool off with cold water and drain well.. 
Mix in a large bowl a can of drained tuna, chopped white onion, celery, cucumber, green pepper and mushrooms to suit your taste.. 
Then mix up a bit of mayo with some Caesar salad dressing and fresh lemon juice.. 
Add pasta.. 
Stir together with some sea salt, freshly ground pepper and chopped parsley.. 
Serve over fresh lettuce leaves.. 



I added just a few little pics around the old farm house.. 

We also spent a day with our lovely daughter.. 
David (our fave son-in-law) had a birthday and we all went to Church Street Steak House for dinner.. 

Our grandsons were there, too but they do not like their pics on here very often.. 
The food was wonderful.. 

Shonda and Dave gave me a couple of nice surprises.. 
A dear little copper bird with a fern in it and Dave gave me a lovely leather journal and pen.. 
(That's why he is our favorite.. grin)

To be honest he is our only son-in-law but like I tell him I am sure he would be our fave, anyway.. smile.. 

Isn't that the sweetest planter?  
It will match my hanging copper pots.. 

Well, sweet ladies I am zonked tonight so I will sign off.. 
Thank you so much for your patience with me..

I plan on working on the tea towel things tomorrow and finishing them up.. 
Hopefully, I can post about that tomorrow night.. 
We will see.. 

So glad you visited and hope you come again and bring your friends.. smile.. 

Praying for all of the sadness in this old world.. 

May God bless and keep you...
