Love These Little Faces that Look in Our Kitchen Window
I love when the bluebirds look directly at my camera. They look like they are cross. 🙂
Notes from Sunday Worship
Sunday, March 15 Sunday School (only by phone) – Subject: Consequences for Injustice – Habakkuk 2:6-14 – Teacher: Nevin Ebersole We can get discouraged – but know this – God will win! What God allows – He allows. All labor is in vain without God. The just shall live by faith. Whatever is God’s will […]
Flowers are Blooming
Tuesday, March 10 Sometimes I just have to go outside – and I can do that because we live in the country – instead of listening to news. The hyacinth are beginning to bloom. The pink and the purple Daffodils are bursting in the buds. The crocus are in full bloom …and oh, look, the […]
Interesting Cloud Formation

Influence
Saturday, March 7 Did you ever see an advertisement on TV or smell the scent of a favorite food in a mall or grocery store and have it influence your next purchase? We were watching TV last Saturday afternoon when I noticed a sub in an advertisement and thought, “I would enjoy a good sub […]
A New Day is Dawning
Thursday Morning, March 5 Isn’t is amazing that day after day the sun rises on a new day – no matter what is going on in the world and in our world. A sign of God’s faithfulness.
House Finch
This includes a variety of photos from the past six weeks. I had a funny thing happen today, which reminded me that it was time to post another set of bird photos. As I thought about what I would post this evening, I got up from working on my laptop and went to get my […]
Springtime Beauty in Our Yard

Notes from Sunday Worship

Red-bellied Woodpeckers
Pictures were taken during the past few months They are fun to watch. This is a female, because the red cap does not go to the beak. The red on the male goes from his crown to his beak. It is often difficult to figure out why they are called red-bellied, but this photo shows […]
A Beautiful Morning
Tuesday, March 3 I took the photos between 6:26 am and 7:36 am and enjoyed watching the pastel colors appear when the sunrise and fog mixed.
Keepin’ Up With Fieldwork
Monday, March 2 I heard machinery outside in the field and checked to see what was happening. Whatever they were spraying, it was prepping the fields for the spring and summer crops. Love our country life.
Crows
I had fun watching a group of crows the other day. A group of crows is called a “murder.” They take big steps and walk with purpose – in a kind of waddle. Fact about crows from the internet: The female lays four to five eggs and incubates them for 18 days. At four weeks, […]
