Food Fight
The second squirrel in this picture was eating at the ground feeder (center bottom) when the other one came to join him. But he chased it away and went back to the ground feeder. Then, to my amusement, I watched as the unwelcome squirrel sneaked in from the back and jumped up on the bench […]
Storm Clean Up
You may remember that I posted about a storm during the July 4th weekend that brought down some branches and slightly damaged our shed. We called All Season Tree Service and told them we would need some clean up and reminded them that we were not an emergency because there was extensive storm damage to […]
Our Crape Myrtle Tree
Our crape myrtle is almost in full bloom. It is always nice having it bloom in mid-summer when most of the other flowers in our yard are no longer blooming.
Interesting Day at a Friend’s Auction
Thursday, July 23 We enjoyed an interesting auction at our friend’s (Earl and Arlene) place. Arlene died several years ago, and Earl is in a retirement community home with dementia, thus their children held an auction for the property, household, and lawn and garden items. It has been many years since we have been to […]
A Beautiful Rainbow with Yesterday’s Rain
It was a warm rainy evening when I took some food garbage out to the woods – for the neighborhood wildlife. The sun was shining and it was raining. I came inside and told Cerwin we will probably soon see a rainbow because of the combination of rain and sun. It is rare that we […]
Amish Church in Our Community Yesterday
We have only one Amish family on our road and another one that we can see from our road. This is the same carriage. I was in the back part of the house getting ready for church and didn’t see any others. We saw two families who were walking to church as we drove by. […]
Smoke in the Air
I find it amazing that smoke from Canada can travel the whole way to Southeastern Pennsylvania – and at times with a hint of smoke in the air. Look at the difference just three days before the smoke rolled in.
A Time for Everything
The events of Thursday and Friday made me think about Ecclesiastes 3:4. There is a time to cry and a time to laugh.There is a time to be sad and a time to dance. Thursday was the time to laugh and have fun swimming with our family. Friday was the time to be sad and […]
Refreshing Martin
Yesterday, July 16, we took our Pennsylvania great grandchildren (and their moms) to Refreshing Mountain for their annual birthday gift. I was pleased that we found a date that suited everyone. June 16 was the only open date that worked. 🙂 It suited Deb and Lydia to go along for extra childcare. I reserved the […]

Be Wise
I was following this truck for a distance the other day on my way home from the dentist – needed a crown on a back tooth. I love when businesses use names that are thought provoking.
Birthday Supper with Jared and Yeira
Saturday evening, July 11 They arrived a few minutes before Cerwin got here from picking up my order at Two Cousins Pizza Restaurant, so I took advantage of getting a new photo of them for our refrigerator. The last refrigerator photo I have of them is from his brother Ian and Nicole’s wedding in May […]
