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 […]
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 […]
Saturday, October 10 We enjoyed our quarterly breakfast at Olde Hickory Restaurant with Cerwin’s hunting friends. There were mostly High’s this time. Left side of the table – clockwise: Ronnie High, Marv (Tex) High, Cerwin High, Eloise High, Phoebe and Glenn Burkholder, George Eckman, and Marv High (Eloise’s husband). It seems they always come up […]

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 […]
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 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 […]
We are blessed that God placed you in our family. Love Grandpa and Grandma High
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Wednesday Evening, September 30 We enjoyed having Nate and Lauree’s family here for Nate’s birthday supper from Two Cousin’s Restaurant. I was so disappointed to discover that I did not remember to take pictures. Nate had a sub, Lauree and I had salads, Cerwin a cheesesteak and the girls shared a ham and cheese stromboli. […]
Sunday Evening, September 27 Birthday twins – Jere is a great uncle to Haven. They share birthdays – age 57 and age 1. Haven’s mom, Nicole, created a delicious meal at the Farm Show Building in Manheim. We enjoyed a buffet-style meal of baked potatoes with all the trimmings, including chili con carne, and a […]
