Hello friends, I hope you are all well today!
We have been quite busy here in our little 'cottage' lately.
New additions to the family arrived last week and are happily roosting in our backyard :-)
Our vegies are coming on wonderfully well with these warmer days, and seeing as the frosts are disappearing now, we should be able to plant out tomatoes pretty soon.
The fruit trees will need protecting from bugs and pests soon too..
at the moment they are blossoming and adding much Spring beauty to the backyard.
Ahh..such happy days!
If you have not visited her yet, I encourage you to pop over say hi!
She is a wonderful godly wife and mother to her hubby and 12 children; and she still finds time to host a weekly event for encouraging us to care for our homes and families!
Gae is an inspiration, to be sure!
The main areas I need to focus on in my home and heart over the coming week will be:
1. the installation of a new sink and vanity in our bathroom
2. arranging beds for guests
3. washing quilts
4. stocking the pantry and freezer for our visitor's needs
5. meeting with my spiritual director.
6. praying for my sister's safe-keeping while she is away fulfilling her long-held dream..
visiting Paris and traveling through France :-)
Hope you're having a great time Barb!! :-D
May the coming week bring blessing and joy to us all as we focus on loving -
our families,
our homes,
our neighbours
and our sweet Lord!!
love in Jesus..Trish
Dear Trish,
ReplyDeleteAlways I love your posts on your Heart at Home. I feel our quilts need a wash too. I need to cycle them through on windy , dry days though to get them back on the beds that night.
I love creating a special welcome for guests too. Enjoy your preparations.
Many blessings this week
Gae
I have started to prepare my veggie garden but it is still too early to plant anything as frost can keep appearing well into October. However I am going to plant radish seeds and place to pots of my front porch were they will get plenty lf sunshine and be protected.
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful treat for Barb to visit The City of Lights :)
ReplyDeleteLike Gae, I so enjoy these kind of posts, they are very encouraging to us keepers of our home.
love,

I love that sign...Keep calm and put the kettle on!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. :-)
I keep forgetting that you are in your beautifulSpring season, Trish, Enjoyed reading of your busy season. We are beginning to bed our gardens for winter, while thinking of next years crops.
ReplyDeleteI also was blessed by your list of things to do for next week.
As always such a joy to visit.

I was thinking that today you would post the recipe for what you did with the bananas :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a busy week to prepare for. I like your comment about "stocking the pantry and freezer for our visitor's needs." That is something I need to improve on. I feel as if we are always running out of food!
ReplyDeleteA busy week for sure--but a good one! I have enjoyed reading your post. I think I may have to check out the Heart at Home meme--sounds like something I would like to do. ~Karen
