A Winter Saturday..

Hello ...

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth ... 

So glad you dropped by.. 

We have had a few beautiful days here in Eastern Canada.. 

We still have lots of snow as you can see but the promise of Spring has arrived.. 

In spite of snow banks that are as high as any I can remember a person can feel the difference in the air.. 

Even if it takes pay-loaders to push the snow up into banks.. 

The day comes when you just know that there is a difference.. 

I could hear birds this morning outside my window when I awoke.. 

There are no snow drops or crocuses yet by a long way.. 

But... 

The days are so much longer and the sun is up around 6:30, I think..

We went for a drive up to the old farm just to see just how high the snow would be.. 

There is usually more snow up there in those Kent Hills.. smile.. 

I packed some books in case Terry was into the farm for a bit.. 

But... 

The banks were pretty high and the lane is long...

He decided not to bother going in.. 

I can't imagine why... 

Can you? smile.. 

On the way we passed this abandoned old house that I posted about last July...

You can hardly see the front door.. 

But come Summer these lovely old moss roses will be back.. 

Kind of hard to imagine today, though, eh?  

Oh well.. 

We had our coffees and decided to go home the long way around.. smile.. 

Down the road a bit were some snowmobilers ..

They were headed to one of the trails that are abundant in Albert County.. 

So beautiful this year.. 

They sure can't complain about lack of snow.. 

I have decided not to bore you with any more snow pictures.. 

But we did come back out into civilization.. 

Lots of cleaning up going on... 

Then we arrived home to enjoy our chicken supper.. 

I am trying to make sure I am using up food that we put away for the Winter.. 

Bean salad.. So good.. 

It won't be long and we will be gathering rhubarb and chives.. 

Thank you all for dropping by on this Saturday evening.. 

So nice to have you.. 

Tomorrow is once again the Lord's Day.. 

So blessed to still have the freedom to attend church and to worship the Lord.. 

These are perilous days and we gather strength when we gather together.. 

Looking forward to a lovely day.. 

God bless..
