Birthday Visit from Jordan, Nicole, and Haven
Tuesday Evening, October 14 Jordan, Haven, and Nicole were here for their 2026 Two Cousin’s Restaurant birthday meal. I placed the order of three subs and a cheese steak stromboli (for Cerwin), and they picked it up on the way to our house. Before I took a second picture, Jordan said, “Maybe I should put […]
Secret Sister’s Luncheon
Sunday, October 11 Following the morning services at White Oak Church many of the ladies and a few girls met in the fellowship hall for our anual Secret Sister’s Luncheon The committee had the room and tables decorated beautifully – creating an uplifting atmosphere to the dreary day on the outside. We were instructed to […]
Sunday Morning Rain
October 11 Remember I told you yesterday that the soybean harvest in both fields next to us was because rain was predicted for the entire day on Sunday. We followed this Amish carriage for a bit just before they turned into this home along our road. It looks like many of them got wet before […]
Soybean Harvest
Saturday, October 10 It was interesting to watch two different farms having their soybeans harvested at the same time. That was because the beans were ready and the next day (Sunday) was supposed to be a full day of rain. I first noticed the combine below our yard. The stalks and trash come out the […]

Lunch with Roy and Deb at Eagle Cafe, Quarryville, PA
Deb and Roy recently returned from a week-long trip to the Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone area, and we were anxious to hear about their trip with six other members of Roy’s family. We have seen many of their photos, but hearing about the details was so much fun – especially since we visited […]
Visiting the Manheim Farm Show
Three things called us to attend our local farm show today: The beautiful weather, Jere and Kristen were working at the French fry stand, and Cerwin had cash from his parttime job at Lancaster DHIA to use for food at the farm show. The French fry stand always has one of the longest waiting lines. […]
It Was a Quiet Day in the Neighborhood
It was a cool, crisp, fall morning, so I waited until noon when the temperature was warmer before working in a flowerbed. The only sound I heard was a tractor in a nearby field as the soil was prepared for a winter crop. Quiet, with only the sound of a tractor is a delightful way […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Nsimba

Soybean Field
It is a beautiful fall day here and as I was thinking about what to post, I decided to examine the dry soybean field across the yard from our yard. The field that was once lush with green leaves is now dry and soon ready for harvest. The leaves are dry and gone, leaving only […]
Birthday Supper with Jere and Kristen
Friday evening, October 2 We had a great time with Jere and Kristen at Texas Roadhouse, Ephrata, for their 2026 birthday meal. I say this almost every time, but I love having time one on one (or two on two) time with our children. We usually go to this restaurant between 3:30 and 4:00 pm, […]
Naked Lady Lily Bulbs
Last Sunday (September 27) when I went to the Harvest Table in our church’s fellowship hall, I was pleased to see several lily bulbs. I picked up two – along with the directions for planting. This was the day we decided to plant them in the flower bed in the middle of our driveway. Cerwin […]
