BYE BYE JANUARY

Morning Prim Folk,  hope you are all well this last day of  this very frigid month, not sorry to see it go, I will welcome February.  Watching the weather channel though  even the first two weeks of February are really cold but still happy to turn the calender page.  Terrible weather all over, even Atlanta and Georgia are hit with this crappy cold  snowy weather, sure has been nasty  weather to the start of 2014.   I am going to welcome Spring whenever Mother Nature decides to bring it on,  but with all the snow here there will be flooding  here no doubt.       With this bone chilling weather  Angel got a new  warm toasty sweater to wear, she knows when I put the sweater on her she gets to go for a ride in the truck, she loves to come for rides with us.  Angel is very camera shy so  it's

hard to get her to look at me and get a good picture but this is what I took of her in her new threads........................ Not to much happening this weekend,    tonight is a Walleye fish fry at the Eagles Club so we will gladly go out to eat, enjoy that tasty fish and no dishes tonight, yay!!!!!!  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, stay warm, Blessings Francine.

HAPPY MONDAY

Morning Prim Folk,  hope you all had a wonderful weekend, so glad it was the last one of January, will not be sad to see it gone.   I spent a very lazy quiet weekend in the house, to cold out there to go out.  But I did have to bundle up yesterday to shovel the front walk, another thing I will be happy to do, put the shovel away though that I am afraid will not be for awhile.    Spent my time cuddled up with Angel reading, she is a great lap blanket :)  Looked on Primitive boards on Pinterest,  that alone whiles away many hours, so many great boards.   That left me  feeling creative so I did stitch up a red and white quilted heart for my big wood bowl, then  I put in a little Be Mine Valentine pillow too for Love day that is approaching, Love in a bowl.....

.......... Thanks for your visit, enjoy the day, Warm Blessings Francine. 

LOVE POSTCARDS

Good Morning Prim Folk,  hope everyone is fine this Saturday morn. Still cold in my neck of the woods, -25 and only getting colder with a windchill this afternoon. I will be so happy to see the end of  this oh so cold January and flip the calender to hopefully a warmer February.   My middle Sis has the right idea, she and her boyfriend on taking a cruise to the Bahamas tomorrow, I am so excited for her and  don't tell her but I think I will try and hide in her suitcase, shhhhh........................

I love to collect old postcards as I am sure I mentioned before, the pictures are so sweet, love all the holiday postcards. I enjoy reading the stories also  on the backs of them, some dating back to the early  1900's, find it so interesting. So I thought I would share some of the sweet Valentine postcards with you........................On a sad note, it has been a year today my girlfriend lost her husband in that terrible car accident, my thoughts are with her and her boys..................Warm Blessings Francine. 

DON'T BLAME ME!!!

Greetings Prim Folk,  not to much new happening around these parts just  cold freezing weather.  This  morning here up North it is a balmy  -30,  yup, that will freeze the brass you know what off a monkey.

 .  It seems it's all our fault, a cold Canadian front is visiting you all over the States, YIKES EH!!!! So hope you are all staying warm and cozy inside, cuddle up and stay safe and please don't blame me for the ccccold :)  Warm Blessings Francine.

COLD MORNING SUN RISE.

COFFEE

Morning Prim Folk,   Hi, my name is Francine and I am a coffeeholic, oh ya, loves me a hot cup of coffee morning, noon and night.    Always have, just my choice for something to drink, even in the sweltering heat of summer, you will find me enjoying a cup of yummy coffee.  My Father loved his coffee to, you would  see him with a cup in his hand all the time, my Mother  enjoys her coffee to but she also drinks tea, me not so much.    Like to drink my  coffee in  a mug, no little cup for me, nice big mug of goodness.  I  use a older plug in percolator   from the fifty's, find it makes the best coffee, just me.    I think that's why I am a morning person to, wake up  early for  that cup of coffee that's calling me, makes me  happy.    I  like  to collect the  old enamel coffee pots, love the looks of them anyway.  I keep my fine grind in a old Nabob jar that a friend gave to me when his Mother was cleaning out her Grandmother's house, he said I think I would like it for I like old junk, oh ya, you bet I do, thank you very much.  Speaking of coffee, gotta go get me another cup, thanks for popping in,  always a pleasure,   Warm Blessings Francine.

DAY DREAMING

Good Morning Prim Folk, Happy Sunday to you all.......... .....  Had a great Saturday  evening out,  we were  invited  to a family pot luck supper at one of Cam's sister's,  he has three sister's and four brothers, was a wonderful time,  good food and shared many laughs, such warm friendly people. Oh and way to many homemade  desserts,  one of the  cakes was a Gingerbread cake, was so tasty, did bring a piece home with me to enjoy with coffee this afternoon....

..................Still more snow on the way today, running out of room to put all the white stuff in the yard, so you will find me  daydreaming  of when I can be out in the yard gardening instead of shoveling,  62 days till Spring, Yipee!!!!!! Wishing you all a wonderful day, Warm Blessings Francine.

so pretty

come sit in the garden with me, :)

want  each one of these in the garden this year.

FULL MOON

Morning Prim Folk,   these past two days the weather has been crazy. So windy, I mean really windy, blowing snow, knocking my feeders down,  now the wind died down but  so cold once again.    I  think I am ready for Spring, need to look at some seed catalogs now!!!!     The full moon was so beautiful last night shining in the upstairs bedroom window.   I only has a valance along the windows for I like to look at the stars and moon laying in bed and   on nights when the moon is full, something about that big ole glowing moon.......................Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Moon Blessings Francine.

HEARTS

Good Morning Prim Folk, Happy Wednesday to you all.......Today here in Winnipeg weatherman is calling for a mixed bag of  blowing snow, freezing rain kinda day, yuk!!!!! So I am just snuggling in and staying home, no need to venture out there today in that...................I have been decorating with hearts lately, hanging and tucking them around the house with Valentines day coming up. I do keep many hearts out all year long, I love them so................Wishing you a wonderful day, to my new followers a heartfelt welcome!!!!  Blessings Francine.

WINTER

Morning Prim Folk,  hope you all had  a wonderful weekend.   The weather here was very mild and enjoyable, I do find beauty in the snow.  Found some beautiful snow pictures I thought I would share, they are not mine.... Winter Blessings Francine.                                                                         WINTER IS THE TIME FOR COMFORT, FOR GOOD FOOD AND WARMTH, THE TOUCH OF A FRIENDLY HAND AND A TALK BESIDE THE FIRE. IT IS THE TIME FOR HOME........EDITH SITWELL

A NEW QUILT

Greetings Prim Folk, hope this Saturday finds you all well........Here this weekend we are having such nice mild temperatures for a change, wow!!!!! near zero, a heat wave compared to the frigid cold weather of late. After lunch I will go out and take down the Christmas garland around the front door and window, it is about time plus I will not freeze doing it..................Went yesterday for a ride out of town to a great little shop named  The General Store, my first time visiting.  Last year after the Holidays we went to find the shop but never did, this time we found  it.  Wonderful little place, full of antiques, candles, my kind of place.  Had held  many goodies  in my hot little hands but then I zeroed in on a blue and white quilt and it was all over, the quilt had to come home with me. But I definitely will go back and shop, not bad prices also is  a very enjoyable drive, twisting, turning following the Red River................Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Winter Blessings Francine.

A BIG THANK YOU

Greetings Prim Folk,   hope you are all keeping warm and cozy in these freezing temperatures everywhere lately, wow!!! So many places are so cold, it is usually us here in Canada freezing, guess we can blame that Polar Vortex...................I am feeling much better, thank goodness was a 24 hour flu bug.  Still weak and tired but compared to Sunday, almost back to my ole self.  Want to send out a BIG THANKS to all of you who commented on my post with well wishes for a speedy recovery, warms my heart so many of you did.  I cannot believe I have meet such caring gals and made so many wonderful friendships, I feel very blessed.............Wishing you all a good day, Big Hugs Francine.

STILL LIVING INSIDE A FREEZER

Morning Prim Folk,  yup,  cold, cold and more cold,  no end in sight,  oh but wait, yes, towards the weekend is supposed to be milder, yay!!!  Nothing else new, only I did catch the flu bug, yuck!!!  Spent most of  Sunday  in the bathroom, not feeling all to great yesterday  either but not so much in the bathroom at least.   The only  thing good about Tuesday  was I did happen to catch the Hairy Woodpecker  feeding on the suet log,  so I grabbed the camera and finally got a shot,  not the best but it will have to do...............  Hope you are keeping warm and cozy those that are receiving  the terrible winter weather,  so many places hit with the bad storms.  Sunday night the power went off 4 times but came back on after a few minutes, thank goodness...............Till next time, take care, Blessings Francine.

BABY IT'S REALLY COLD OUTSIDE!!!!!

Morning Prim Folk,  Happy Sunday morning to you all....... No end to this frigid weather, windchill  is - 42 right now, and Friday night into Saturday morning we had more snow, a lot more snow, so I spent the afternoon outside bundled up  shoveling 3 different  times.  Lots of exercise and fresh air,  guess I should look at it that way,  maybe I will get out of wearing the stretchy pants yet if the snow keeps up :)..............Feeding the birds more seed in these cold days, also more suet for the Woodpeckers in the suet log, I enjoy watching The Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers but every time I go get the camera to catch a picture they fly away so no pictures yet, still trying. I did happen to catch this Bunny eating seed I put on the ground, cute and fluffy, I love to see the  little bunnies out and about........................Wishing you a warm Sunday, Blessings Francine.

HAPPY FRIDAY

Morning Prim Folk,  another cold snowy blowy day here in Winterpeg, throw another log on the fire kinda cold. Nasty wind chills all weekend long, good time to snuggle in with a good book.........Had a quiet New Years Eve, stayed in and watched a hockey game, loves me some hockey. Didn't  made it till midnight to ring in 2014, way past my bed time  :).....New Years day we popped in a small turkey and had my Mom, Sis with her boyfriend over and Cam's daughter, son with his girlfriend, nice way to spend the first day of  of the New Year, family and good food. Had a wonderful day, played a dice game after supper and guess who won both games, yup, sweet Mother of mine, oh she is a sly one.......................Wishing you all a cozy weekend,  Warm Blessings Francine.
