A Bit of January Monday Morning Inspiration for you..

Good Monday Morning all.. 

Hope you had a great weekend.. 

Just stopping by to post a few pics for you all that I found here and there on the web lately.. 

I don't take any credit for them and I find them all lovely.. 

This is really the first week for us after the holidays to get back to normal.. 

It has been very cold here in New Brunswick...

How is your weather?  

It is hard to believe that already one week of January has passed.. 

I have lots of chores and projects for the winter months and am looking forward to accomplishing many of them.. 

The main thing is to just stay home and work at it all.. 

So.. 

I am pouring myself one last cuppa and then getting to it all.. 

Terry and I are like the Toadflax family today.. 

He has the fire going and the toast has been made but we will drink coffee instead.. smile.. 

And make plans for our day.. 

My main one is to get the rest of anything Christmas finally all put away until next time.. 

Also, I would like to craft a couple of hours each week.. 

And as always there are the laundry baskets and such to finish up.. 

What is on your agenda for today?  

Thanks dear hearts for dropping by and will chat again soon..

Love hearing from you...  

God bless... 

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.”  Psalm 20:4

The first week of January...

Good Evening everyone.. 

Guess what! 

It is pouring rain out tonight.. 

Yesterday, it looked like the snow photos I am showing you but the temps went up and now the rain is coming down.. 

The temperature is supposed to go below freezing tonight so I expect there will be some ice out and about tomorrow.. 

Anyway.. 

Just a Canadian Winter, I guess.. 

We had a lovely week.. 

Made some tabbouleh .. 

A salad made out the grain bulgur and fresh parsley and mint...

fresh lemon juice and olive oil...

chopped tomatoes, onion and I add cucumbers... 

It is a Middle Eastern Salad that is excellent in a pita bread or just a side salad.. 

We had some lovely company from this place...

St. Martins by the Bay of Fundy.. 

We enjoyed her visit.. 

One day Terry bought us a few lobsters to celebrate the New Year.. 

We also had some Seafood Chowder... 

There is something about the New Year that says serve fish.. grin..

Janelle getting ready to go home.. 

It was rather a stormy day but she returned home safe and sound.. 

Thank you, Lord.. 

This is looking out our living room window one day last week.. 

So beautiful out there but so cold.. 

It was nice just to stay home and keep the fires burning.. 

Our dear daughter and her family are enjoying the nice temps in Florida.. 

As for me I prefer to be home.. 

Oh well.. We are all different.. 

I will be glad when they get back home.. 

On the weekend we had church..

We were so thankful for a beautiful sunny day..  

The last few services have been cancelled due to bad weather so it was great to be able to meet together again.. 

Love this little group of people.. 

How did your first week of January go? 

I took down most of the Christmas decor today and Terry took the tree outside.. 

Now, to get it all packed away in the closet for another year.. 

I wonder what this year will bring.. 

So thankful to know the One who is control and who will go with us each step of the way.. 

No matter what comes or what goes He will be holding our hand and we can put our faith and trust in Him.. 

So thankful for the peace and joy that we have in our lives and for his grace and mercy that follows us.. 

Thank you so much for dropping by and I look forward as always to hearing from you.. 

God bless..
