Weather Chaos and such...

Hello everyone.. 

Thanks for stopping by the Blessed Hearth today... 

Fall is very obvious here in our part of the world.. 

Pumpkins everywhere and the leaves are turning.. 

All so beautiful.. 

We were down to the cottage last week .. 

Due to the full moon and such we had some lovely waves and the wind was wonderful, too.. 

I sat here for an hour or more.. 

Just sitting in the swing and enjoying the weather.. 

It was lovely and sunny but windy.. 

I had on a shawl and hoodie trying to keep warm and folks walking by probably wondered what on earth was sitting there... grin.. 

The tide was very high and we enjoyed watching the eclipse and listening to the waves.. 

We returned home on Monday ... 

So much to do.. smile.. 

We had breakfast out this week and while reading the Telegraph Journal I came across a recipe for Cuban Mojo Sauce and Paprika Potatoes.. 

It was so easy to make and not a speck of fat in the sauce.. 

\\

And only 1 Tablespoon of olive oil for the potatoes.. 

It called for 6 potatoes but we only needed one each.. 

My land, I loved the sauce.. 

So tart and delicious.. 

I used 100 % orange juice instead of sour orange juice..

Here is the link for the recipe..

We had a lot of rain here in our province this week.. 

We had to go to Sussex and these were the pics on our way there.. 

So much rain.. 

One dear man lost his life when his basement wall fell on him.. 

And another horrible accident when a road caved in.. 

That was just here in our area... 

Reading today where it is horrific in South Carolina, too.. 

The world is rocking and rolling and all the signs are there that Jesus is returning soon..

Praying for this old world that they will call on His Name...

Praying for the dear families affected by these storms..  

Yesterday, I made 3 batches of blueberry jam and 1 batch of Maple Apple Jam...  

Looking forward to having a table next weekend at the

 Fundy Trail Market.. 

Also... 

Joining Shonda at the Craft Show at Mission Point Church

 on Nov. 28... 

Tomorrow I hope to get the Pumpkin Preserves made.. 

Anyway, dear hearts that is all for today.. 

Hope you are having a great day and God bless.. 

Mussels were on sale so we had some Mussel Chowder for lunch.. 

Take care everyone and have a great week.. 

Looking forward to hearing from you all..

NO DAFFODILS HERE....

Hi... Just thought I would show you a few pics of what my day included...

It is Spring here in New Brunswick although looking out the window one would think it was still February...

There is some green grass underneath, though.

 

Oh my... It made me so cold... I decided I needed this...

To be honest... I could have a fire most days except for the very hot ones. 

When we first looked at this house it was the fireplaces that sold it to us...

I actually spent MOST of my day doing this...

TAXES.... I just want to get them DONE...

Tomorrow, hopefully... Please, Lord...

This shelf in my view was calling my name but I kind of resisted...

Some very interesting reading here..

I also need to get ready for next Keepers meeting... These come in handy..

Then there is always some little piece of stitching calling to me, also.. smile..

Isn't this fabric dear... I loved it and thought it would make a cushion... or two..

In the same place are stacks of this...

Cushions, bags, runners, little mats, tea cosies, ohhhhhh so many things to sew..

My shop is needing to be filled and there I sit on an old hard chair adding up numbers..sigh...

A cold day like this required some comforting for my poor husband who worked outside all day..

Potato Scallop .... one of his favorites...

What did you do this Wednesday??

The roads were so bad that things were cancelled.  Terry said there were several cars in the ditches on his way home..

You girls probably picked daffodils:-)

Right??

Or made some dandelion or violet jelly...  

Please note in the top pic that our trees do not even have leaves yet... smile..

We have pussy willows, though..

Ahhh.. Canada... there is no place like it...

giggle...

Love to you all...
