A Windy Day ...

Good Evening Everyone.. 

A very windy and cool day here in New Brunswick. 

I turned the fireplace on and spent a bit of time in the sun room.

Hence the photos.. smile.. 

This is where I sew and such.. 

There will not be any gardening here for a few more weeks so I am enjoying my plants.. 

I found a couple of lovely linen towels at the thrift store and made a couple of bread bags.. The orange striped one is in the pic above.. 

The lovely tea set is a gift from my Mom for my last birthday.. 

I have an old china cabinet in there that belonged to Terry's grandfather.. 

I like keeping his mother's dishes and any special keepsakes.. 

Like the old doll that used to belong to my friend Julia.. 

You can read about her HERE..

Still preparing for Keepers on Saturday.. 

Looking forward to it.. 

Made some stir fry for supper tonight.. 

One of hubby's faves.. 

Well, girls that is all for tonight so thanks for dropping by. 

Love reading all of your comments.. 

I answered your beeswax polish  questions in the last post comment form..

I have lost my camera .. 

Praying that it can be found soon .. 

God bless, my dears..

Little Happenings...

Good Evening my dears... 

Did you think that I had forsaken you?  smile.. 

I had a small problem with my camera .. 

The last time I did a post I set my camera on the table beside me and proceeded to spill half of my cup of tea on it.. Yikes.. 

I shook it out and dried it the best I could but by morning it stopped working.. 

To make a long story short my dear friend Pam advised me to put it in a box or bag of rice.. 

Which I did and thank the good Lord it is now working 100%... smile...

So.. if this little accident happens to you.. 

Whether a camera or phone just pop it right away into a zip lock bag of rice ... 

It only took a couple of days...

So.. I am back... smile..

I just thought I would once again share some pics of my days.. 

Terry and I headed out early this morning for another little trip to Fredericton.. 

There was a lot of fog..

Kinda pretty, though, eh?  

And in the last few days we have been in a genuine pickle.. grin..

These are Sweet Garlic Dills.. 

Every one's favorite except for me..

I love sour pickles.. 

Oh.. remember the sour pickles I tried.. 

I LOVE them... 

I shared the recipe HERE..

They do taste like Gram's...

This is the Reversing Falls Bridge in the fog early this morning..

Can you see it? 

Terry planted lots of tomatoes and brought some down over the weekend.. 

We have our garden at home.. 

There is not enough room to grow much except herbs here at the cottage..

I am trying out a new recipe that I concocted.. 

Green Tomato and Ginger Chow.. 

I hope it will work out.. 

I'll let you know in a week or so...

The ginger has to do it's work in the pickle for awhile..

More fog.

I noticed several trees whose leaves have already changed their color..sigh...

I don't want Summer to leave us yet.. smile.. 

Don't you love fresh tomatoes?

I hope to make some nice fresh tomato and basil soup maybe tomorrow.. yummy... 

The recipe for that is HERE..

Except instead of using canned tomatoes I use fresh ones..

OK?

We have these signs along our highways...

Do you?  

I am terrified of the moose.. 

They are huge and can demolish a car in a flash... 

These pickles are for sandwiches... 

We made some Sweet Dill ones last year for the first time and my friend Janelle's husband tried them out and loved them.. 

So... we made a bunch.... 

By the time we headed back to St. Martins the fog was pretty well cleared off..

The lovely St. John River.. 

Then it poured rain.. We could hardly see to drive.. 

Talk about change of weather.. 

All in one day... smile.. 

Terry has been craving this meal so I decided to make it ...

Again... grin.. 

Rice and Stir fry...

What have you sweet ladies been up to? 

I know I am a bit boring these last few weeks with the pickle thing but Lord willing it will mostly be over this week..

I am planning on being in the Art in the Park at the Fundy Trail on Sunday.. 

It is the only show I do all year and my Mom and Step Father are coming down for the weekend to go to it, too..

I sell pickles, jams and jellies, fudge, salves, crafts and other homemade goodies.. 

It is fun...

Then next Friday night the Keepers are hopefully coming for their over niter.. Sept. 7th..

And.... then in a couple of weeks is my closing sale... Sept. 23rd..

Then homeward bound.. 

It has been a glorious Summer.. 

September in St. Martins is wonderful... 

Wind, rain, fog and huge waves..

What more could a somber weather girl ask for?  grin... 

Thanks for visiting.. 

As always I love having you and hearing from you all.. 

Don't forget that I try and reply to each comment so come back and check if you like... smile..

May the Lord richly bless you and your sweet families..
