Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, April 20 The neighbor was turning his grass to dry it for harvest. The male goldfinches are a brilliant yellow right now. We had Amos and his helpers here to take down three old pine trees that were getting ragged and spindly. They fed them into their wood chipper which ate them right up and spit […]
Tuesday, April 19 May Apples in the woods behind our yard. Some wild violets in among the may apples. Tulips on the trash heap in the thick woods area. A neighbor was working in his field. Our dogwood trees are pretty this year. We have enjoyed our tulips. I brought a few inside. Then added a […]

Thursday, April 14 – Traveling home As I was going through the pictures of our drive home, I thought of the comments I receive now and then from people who are housebound. They tell me they like seeing pictures of our road trips because it gets them out of the house. These pictures are for you. […]
Wednesday, April 13 Cerwin got right to work after we arrived at the chapel which is located at the TA at Exit 138 on I-85/I-40 and Highway 61 in Greensboro, NC. The first thing he did was clean the air conditioner. While he did that I admired the colorful trucks as I walked to the truck stop […]
Wednesday, April 13 We left the house just after 5:00 AM and were at the West Virginia line by 6:50 AM. This trip was so Cerwin could make a few repairs on the chapel at the Greensboro, North Carolina, TA. It has been a long time since we traveled south on Route 81, so I enjoyed […]
Sunday Afternoon, April 10 I am not even going to attempt to put names to the flowers and budding trees in Sam’s orchard. I’ll let you do that if you know what species they belong to. There were a few signs of snow in the shaded areas. Susie the dog (I think that’s her name), Sam, […]
Sunday, April 10 There was still a bit of snow among our flower beds when we woke up on Sunday morning. Our tulips have been through a lot of stress this spring – snow, hail, and more snow. A day or two earlier we decided to visit our friends Sam and Alice after church, because […]
Saturday Evening, April 9 We arrived at Dover Fire Hall, Dover, PA. early – 3 PM – to set up the TFC display, distribute programs, and donation envelopes on the tables. By 5 PM the cooks were ready and this is what I got when I walked into the kitchen with my camera. I forgot […]
I love sharing my life with you and participating in what you have allowed God to do with your life. You are patient, kind, hardworking, and fun. A real man of God. I think of you every time I read Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in […]
The weatherman said it may snow – and snow it did! I was surprised by hail the day before, now we were getting a real April snowstorm. By the time it stopped snowing, we had four inches of snow. This is about the time I noticed that these two were courting. It seems like there […]
Friday April 8 6:00 AM This is what I saw when I looked out our kitchen window about a week and a half ago, so I wanted to investigate the sunrise. It was quite overcast, but the sun was momentarily shining through a break in the clouds. 7:00 AM I enjoyed watching a couple of brown-headed cow […]
Pictures from a rainy day – almost two weeks ago – Thursday, April 7
Thursday, April 7 Remember in my previous post that I was concerned about our tulips because of freezing temperatures – the next day it rained and the tulips looked beautiful. I love a rainy day. I’m not the only one who loves a rainy day. The robins were having a great time looking for worms. […]
After having a beautiful day today, it is difficult to remember the very cold mornings of Tuesday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 6 when there was ice in the birdbath. I wondered if our tulips would survive the freezing temperatures. The suet was even frozen – making it more difficult for the birds. They were […]

Ian throwing the logs to Jesse Jared brought logs for Jere for the splitter. Josh helped after the first load was delivered to their house. I expect he was working […]
