The purple days of Summer...

Good Evening my dears.. 

Hope all is well with you.. 

We here in Eastern Canada are trying to get over the storm Arthur.. 

He sure wrecked havoc on our poor landscape.. 

Thousands of trees are down and still thousands of people without hydro.. 

We were so blessed to keep our hydro and trees but others were not so fortunate.. 

Praying that their power comes on soon.. 

One of the saddest things I heard was that my most favorite place in New Brunswick which is Kings Landing has suffered terrible losses and will be closed for who knows how long.. 

Anyway.. 

I just posted some pics of some of God's beautiful artistry .. 

We went for a little drive out Tynemouth Creek way and came across this lovely patch of Blue Flags although they are really purple.. 

So gorgeous..

Farmers are making their hay and the scent in the air is simply beautiful..

We have an old bedroom here in the cottage for our Summer guests which is purple.. 

Every year I think I should change it up a bit but all these years later and it is still purple.. smile.. 

A couple of years after we had bought the old cottage the youngest child of the first owners dropped by for a visit and told me that this room used to be her parent's room .. 

At the foot of the bed is a portrait of one of her older sisters who was raised in this house.. 

The people at the museum called me and informed me that I could buy it if I liked and of course, I did.. 

So sweet to think that even though she is gone her picture is still hanging in her parent's old room, eh? 

The dear lady was Pauline and she was in her eighties then.. 

Since then she has gone on but I still remember that visit with a smile.. 

The last pic is of my sweet husband who is always ready to jump out and pick me a bouquet.. smile.. 

We keep a pair of scissors in each vehicle just in case.. grin.. 

Thank you my sweeties for stopping by during these busy months.. 

I know I am not doing a great job in keeping my promise to blog better so please forgive me.. 

Tomorrow the shop is opened again for 3 days so hopefully it will be busy.. 

Had some lovely visitors who read the blog and stopped by.. 

It is so nice to meet you all.. 

I have some Rhubarb Jams made for those who are interested.. 

For as long as they last anyway.. 

Take care and I look forward to hearing from you all.. smile.. 

Hugs form St. Martins..
