This Sunday night - it's the long-awaited return of "When Calls the Heart!" I know I've personally been looking forward to this all new season with great anticipation since last year. There is much to be revealed and questions to be answered, including: Who will Elizabeth choose, Nathan or Lucas? Will Bill join the Mounties, again? Will Rosemary and Lee adopt a child? Which couple will get married this season? What role will the new family, the Canfields, fulfill in town? Will Fiona find a new career path since being fired as telephone operator? Will Faith come home to stay in Hope Valley or will she return to the big city? What other major changes and possible new inventions are in store for Hope Valley - in the era around 1910? How will they draw on their faith in times of joy and uncertainty? We will have to watch and see!

What a great way to look forward to an all new season of "When Calls the Heart," by binge watching "When Hope Calls" all day Saturday, with guest stars- Kevin McGarry (Mountie Nathan Grant), Kavan Smith (Lee Coulter), and Pascale Hutton (Rosemary Coulter).
Speaking of "When Calls the Heart," I fully anticipate (although, I have not seen it) the new season to be family friendly and wholesome, based on past episodes and statements from the producers on this upcoming season. I hope your heart will lead you to Hope Valley Sunday nights!
Have a blessed weekend, everyone. Please stay safe and warm and be extra careful out there.
