Announcing the Keepers Meeting and such....

Hello everyone.. 

How art thou?  

Just sharing a few pics with you tonight.. 

Just pics of the ordinary... 

The first pic is of a little mason ring pumpkin..

. 

I found it on the Internet and then when I went on Google to get the link for you I found many... 

There were some that were painted orange and some that were rusted and such... 

So ... 

I decided not to bother with the link... 

All you do is tie at least 16 rings together with wire or string and then glue in cinnamon stick or some used 3 sticks and I used bay leaves but they mostly used felt or fabric.. 

Whatever turns your crank.. 

I loved the rusted one but I did not have time to rust them so voila.. 

At least it gives you an idea for you table or what have you... 

The next pic is of an old pine tree we see every 

time we go to Sussex.. 

Isn't the view fabulous?  

And then I finally started cleaning and organizing my Sun Room and such... 

Will I ever get the house all in order at the same time?? 

Please Lord.. smile...

I mostly wanted to post to thank you sweet ladies for all your dear comments last post.. 

You guys are wonderful and dear... 

I appreciate each and every one of you... 

Thank you... xo

Busy Summer Days...

Good Evening, my dears... 

So glad to get a chance to chat with you all again.. 

What a busy time we have been having.. 

I know... everyone is busy these days..

Anyway... 

We needed to go home again so away we went laundry and all on Monday evening... 

It was nice to be home and get that started... 

Then on Tuesday we went to Moncton to get our truck appointment for a check over done.. We stayed in and visited Dustin as we had not seen him on his birthday.. 

Then we attended an auction.. I only purchased a couple of things.. 

A beautiful soap dish, a bird thing and 3 lovely old books.. 

I was so tired that we left and went home.. 

We had to get up at the crack of dawn as Terry needed to till the garden and finish the mowing he started when we got home from the auction... 

I had to pack stuff... laundry, craft supplies, and stuff for the shop.. 

Then with cups of coffee and cheese toast in hand we along with Sammi headed for the strawberry fields... 

While my dear man picked berries...

I went into Sussex to pick up prescriptions and such.. 

An hour later I was back and he was almost finished...

Eighteen quarts ready for the jam pot....

One of our dear old pastors was there picking.. I asked him how old he was and said he was 82... Imagine... smile...

The fields surrounding the berries were filled with sheep...

And lots of grains growing...

Wheat blowing in the summer breezes... 

Oh, Summer.. you are so lovely....

And this old lone pine tree... 

See the cattle eating their hay at the bottom... 

I wonder how old this tree is and what it has seen in it's many long years of life..

With the berries packed in the back with everything else we headed to Fredericton again for my appointment ... 

Grand Lake ....

Gorgeous, eh?  See the sailboat and cottages along the far shore.. 

Such a beautiful country we live in.. 

The Lord has truly blessed us.. 

Then back to St. John and to the cottage.. 

Unpacked the truck and just had fresh buns, ham and salad veggies for Supper.. 

I didn't even check my emails.. 

Just headed for bed... 

Then this lovely morning we cleaned all of the berries, put almost all of our stuff away and I headed for the shop...

I left a note saying I would be open and am so glad I did.. 

Such a busy afternoon.. 

I sold an old doll to a sweet girl along with the old baby shoes, a lovely old print and a vintage suitcase.. 

I told her I thought we had the same taste.. grin... 

Then there were several others, too.. 

Some bought old silver. dishes and a trunk... Some vintage fabrics and an old magazine rack along with homemade pickles, jams and jellies.. A crow picture, saltwater taffy and more... 

A very good day... 

Thank you, dear Lord for your blessings.. 

While I was working over there Terry vacuumed and scrubbed through downstairs and cooked the veggies for Supper..

Such a wonderful man I married.. 

Isn't God good?  smile...

Tomorrow morning I hope to get the jam made... 

And thank you for dropping by..

Sending you all a great big hug...
