Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday morning, February 18. We left the house about 6:45 and drove toward a beautiful sunrise. There was beauty everywhere as we drove from Brickerville to New Holland on RT 322. Then as we turned off of 322 we were greeted by this beautiful row of trees and bushes. I love seeing bare trees on […]
Friday, February 17 I never tire of seeing our beautiful winter sunrises. In the late afternoon we saw this hawk outside one of our windows. Because of the afternoon shadows, it is difficult to tell if it is a Sharp-shinned or Cooper’s Hawk. I lean toward a Sharp-shinned. What do you think?
Tuesday, February 14 God sent his love on Valentine’s Day with a beautiful sunrise. That evening we went to Fox Meadows Creamery for ice cream. We invited Rachel and Glenn Fahnestock to join us and they happily accepted. We enjoyed visiting in a quiet corner – which betrayed the reality of a very, very busy place. My Baked Fox – […]
Monday, February 13 With temperatures in the 70s today, it is difficult to believe that a week-and-a-half ago we had a cold, windy day. There was ice in the birdbath… …and our Bible verse flag was flapping in the wind. In some areas of the patio there were still patches of snow. The Northern Mockingbird found […]
Sunday, February 12 We took our Pennsylvania children to General Sutter in Lititz for lunch after church. Flowers and a card from Jere and Kristen’s family. Our crew. I am so honored to do life with them. They are the best! Notice that our oldest and youngest are not paying attention to the photographer. 🙂 […]
Friday, February 10 I always enjoy seeing a Northern Flicker at our feeders. This is a male. The male flicker has a black patch of feathers next to its bill. When we left the house at 2 pm to go to Costco I noticed the icicles glittering in the afternoon sun. These were hanging from our […]
Thursday, February 9 Day six of my birthday week I was glad that I didn’t have to go anywhere on this day. We have had so little snow this year that I treasure every snowflake we get. 🙂 A starling in its winter feathers. After enjoying the snow and birds, I opened the goodie bags […]
Wednesday, February 8 We don’t get here very often, but Cerwin knows that this will be my choice if I choose my favorite restaurant. My salad My favorite meal here is a breakfast: Eggs En Cocotte (Sheared Eggs, Baked with Asparagus, Lump Crab Meat & Mornay Sauce) When our waitress saw Cerwin taking pictures of me, […]
Wednesday, February 8 Day 5 of my birthday week Our living room window presents a new “Painting by God” each morning – and it changes by the minute. Love my morning view It was a beautiful morning to take a TFC mailing to the post office – then meet our youngest daughter Deb at “Nails […]
Tuesday, February 7 Day 4 of my birthday celebration 🙂 Tulips and chocolates from Cerwin – for my birthday and valentines day. Each piece of candy was fabulous, but the piece on the bottom left was the best. The tulips were a bit “wimpy” when they arrived and the buds very tight. Look at the difference half an hour later. […]
Monday, February 6 One trip that is still on my bucket list is a photo safari to South Africa. So I visited the South Africa vendors in Outfitters Hall. It may never happen, but one can dream – and to make a dream happen we must sometimes take the first step. 🙂 Some of the safari vendors interested me, […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
Monday, February 6 Jim Shockey posed for pictures before his part of the program started in the Small Arena. This is when Cerwin and I had agreed to meet as we both wanted to see his program. This was my favorite part of the day – other than my delicious ham and cheese soft pretzel sandwich. […]
Monday, February 6 ~ Harrisburg, PA Raptors Up Close – Birds of Prey – The Ultimate Hunters Because I enjoy birds, I made sure to be in the small arena at 11:30. I like listening to Howard Caldwell’s information about his birds. The first one was a Great Horned Owl. (Do you think he noticed that I was taking his […]
Monday, February 6 (Day 3 of my birthday week) We arrived early so we could park close to the building. There was already a line, but not too bad. It was a nice day to stand outside for 3/4 of an hour and talk to people around us. Before long the line went around the […]
This morning on the news we heard a marriage counselor say – if you want to keep your love alive, don’t keep on doing the same old thing – same gifts, same restaurant, etc. So when I came out of the shower – there stood Cerwin with guitar in hand singing, “You Are My Sunshine.” […]
