This is what I saw through our living room window just before 7 am on Saturday Morning, February 9.

What fun to go to Winter & Roses Vendor and Craft Show at the Manheim Farm Show Community Exhibition Center. This lady and her husband were raising funds toward adopting a baby.

Sophie was selling children’s books

Janessa (right) makes delightful Rub-A-Dub Scrubs which include organic coconut oil. I love these for my dry winter skin.

There were a lot of temptations at the show, but these were my only purchase.

Amy’s Mixing Bowl was busy the whole time I was there. Amy is our niece and was selling “create your own whoopie pies”. She had a variety of whoopie pies and filling flavors.

Our niece Chelsey (pink plaid blouse) at her Thirty One table.

I was only there for about half an hour.

We had a quiet afternoon at home – following my busy, birthday events of the day before, as Mark and Diane had gone to Hanover to visit his mom.

I cannot get over the delight of seeing Eastern Bluebirds in this feeder. I never knew a suet block would bring them so close to our window. We are never too old to learn new things.

I often look at the birds and remember that God knows, loves, and cares for each one.
