This week.....


Hello my friends.. 
A little Friday posting of mostly pics for you tonight.. 

We have had a week of coming and going and doing.. 
So... 
Come along and I will show you.. smile.. 
First of all on Monday Terry took me for a little day trip to Calais, Maine... 

As we passed by St. John we saw that there were 2 cruise ships in the harbour... 

We had a fun day and I noticed these seagulls as Terry was filling the tank with some cheaper gas.. 

They were all looking across the St. Croix River to Canada.. 
I guess Immigration was a bit slow that day.. grin.. 

Then on Tuesday we needed to go home again for the night.. 

The choke cherries are out in full force.. 
The Summer went so fast.. 

We also stopped at a veggie stand and picked up some basil that was all blossomed.. 
I had not seen it sold that way before.. 



Drying it out in the dehydrator... 
I think I will put the flowers in a potpourri.. 
What do you think?  

A pasture scene taken on the way back to the cottage.. 

I told you that I thought Terry should find me a nice one, eh?  
grin... 

Anyway... 


A beautiful day when we arrived back here.. 

Each evening we usually go for a little spin (as we call it)...


The wild rose hips are wonderful this year.. 
Everywhere you look on the side of the road they are growing.. 
Pretty.... 

Decided to make some lovely spiced..... 


Crab Apples... 


Oh my.. They are so good.. 
Although, they kind of burst a bit... 
Oh well.. They taste great and look lovely and red..

My fave Julia Child's recipe... 


Terry loves it too.. 

The most simple recipe but so much flavor.. 
A definite keeper and so nice to serve guests... 

Potato and Leek Soup... 
Find the recipe HERE


Gathering some wild cucumbers to dry for some potpourri.. 

AND... 


Getting ready for my End of Season Closing Sale 
 Friday and Saturday... 
Sept. 21 and 22.. 10 am - 5 pm...

If you live nearby please drop in.. 
There are preserves galore, homemade salves, potpourris, and such.. 

Also.. 
20 % off of all crafts and olde stuff... 

We are located on Main Street in St. Martins, N. B. 

Well, sweet ladies.. 
This is  about all for tonight.. 

Terry and I have already gone for our little drive and bought a little treat at the Caves and  then we came home and made BBQ.. 
Another Date Night.. 

Summer at the cottage is almost over.. 
Another week and we will be heading home.. 

My poor man had a bad day yesterday.. 

I kept singing to him and for some reason he didn't seem to be enjoying it.. grin.. 
Don't you love that old song ... 

I Just Want to Go Home.. 

Have you all heard it? ?

You can find it on YouTube HERE... smile.. 

After the tenth time he asked me to give it up.. grin.. 
My friend told me she felt sorry for him for once.. 
LOL... 

You girls who have been following the blog for a bit know how I am...    eh? 
When it is time to go home ... sigh..
It is time to go home.. 

Have an awesome weekend my dears.. 
Chat with you all later... 

I know.. 
You are so glad you all don't live with me.. 
xoxo

  1. I love the photo in your header. Is that at Kings Landing? It kind of looks like at the Hagerman House (I think). I can't believe you are almost finished for the summer in St. Martins. It went fast and I never got down there. I hope you have a good weekend. Blessings, Pamela

  4. Faye, My Dear......I rarely take Terry's side but ya know....maybe you should get some cheap singing lessons. Anything to make the MAN happy!

    There is so much in this post that I want to comment on but it would be too much. I love the lighthouse and the cruise ships at St John. Also, the crabapples......are those to make jam or juice? Thanks for reminding me about the rose hips. We have them in the hedgeerow down in our field. Will have to go get some. We have just spent a week here at our daughter's on Keuka Lake (one of the Finger Lakes of NY)and will be heading home tomorrow so I know what that song means to you. Take care and be good! God bless you , Terry and your family.

    PS- Seems like you just arrived at the cottage. Time flies!

  5. Would you share how you make spiced crab apples. My husband uses crab apple trees as pollinators in our orchards. I would love to try making some. Most of them go to waste.
    Thanks for your wonderful posts. I really enjoy them!!

  8. love your new header as well. It would be hard to leave your cabin. I bet you enjoy it a lot. This weekend is busy with a funeral tomorrow of a friend's son who died too early..leaving a wife and two children. Myrna used to work where I do as the book keeper til she retired. So sad but thankful for promise of heaven...then to see my mom in nursing home then get some groceries. sunday...eating at Oktoberfest after church. Never a dull moment around here and I wonder why I can't get anything done. Well, I did a couple laundry loads of blankets from what I took to women's retreat last week. Made dinner with included a potato salad. it was so good! And...ok, no more. Jugs and blessings to you!
