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.. 

Here in St. Martins..

Good Evening.. 

Hope you are all having a blessed weekend.. 

Tomorrow is Canada Day and also a special one for our family.. 

Our youngest was born 30 years ago on July 1st.. 

The dear lad keeps saying he is only 26 but not so.. grin.. 

Happy Birthday, dear son.. 

You are a blessing in our lives.. 

This was a pic they sent me from their phone when they were in Quebec City having a blast.. smile.. 

The shop is now open.. 

Thank you, dear Lord and you for your prayers.. 

I have included a few pics of my new work space which I love and know I will enjoy.. 

My hubby rocks.. grin.. 

Along with everything we have been wave chasing the last few days.. 

The rain is quite something but it brings wonderful waves which we love.. 

I tried to include a small video so you could see and hear just a smidgen but it did not work out.. 

Anyway, dear hearts this is just a wee post.. 

We will soon be normal.. 

Once I get the cottage sorted then I can enjoy the rest of the Summer.. 

Rain or Shine.. 

Take care of yourselves and may God bless you all.. 

Thanks so much for your visits and notes.. 

Love and Prayers

Faye...
