Month: December 2020
Snow
As many of you know we are getting snow today – here in Pennsylvania – but December brought us other snowy days. We had a dusting of snow on Wednesday, December 2. We also had flurries on Wednesday, December 9. On Monday, December 14, we had another snowy mix. For this one I had the […]
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Thursday, December 10 This is not an unusual sighting at our bird feeders, but I only see them during the cold weather and rarely – compared to Red-bellied, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers. This one was fun to watch because he stayed awhile.
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Gloria
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
A New Coffee Cup
I bought myself a new coffee cup for Christmas. 🙂
Some Days the Sun Struggles to Peak Through the Clouds
Monday, November 23 I was watching the clouds when one of our Amish neighbors went by. Not every day is sunny, but that is okay.
When the Sunset Lights Up the Entire Sky
Thursday Evening, November 19 When I saw this in the eastern sky, I knew we were in for a beautiful sunset – on Thursday evening, November 18 Southern sky Moving the camera to the southwest. Southwest Final sign of the sun in the western sky.
Chicken Corn Soup Kind of Day
Thursday, November 19 was a chicken corn soup kind of day. I love a good bowl of soup on a cold, mid-fall day.
Follow-up on the Silo
Because of the feedback on my two Facebook posts: “Doris Jean High” and “Pennsylvania Photography with UncoveringPA”, I called Karen to see if we could look through the rubble for a few “memory” tiles. She said we could and that she and Larry had already gotten a few to use as stepping stones in a […]
The Demise of a Ninety-Year-Old Silo
Tuesday, December 1 and Thursday, December 3 When I learned that the 90-year-old silo was being taken down at the homestead, I knew I wanted to document it. Grandpa Hershey mentioned the silo in his book “A Time to Every Purpose.” My brother Dale remembers our dad saying that Grandpa built the silo with cantaloupe […]
Frustrated Nuthatch
The other day I was watching a nuthatch and at first thought its actions were something to do with mating, but I didn’t see another nuthatch and the longer I watched, the more I realized that it was upset with the wren who was eating at the suet where it wanted to eat. 🙂 The […]
A Frosty Morning
Thursday, November 19 Our wintry weather began on November 19 when we woke up to a very cold, frosty morning. There was ice in the birdbath. The eastern sky was clear and beautiful. Our propane fireplace felt good when I came inside from a quick photo session.
Birthday Supper with Heze and Kayla. She said, “Yes.”
Friday evening, December 4, at Ichiban Japanese Steak & Seafood Restaurant. Oh, what fun to have supper with our grandson Heze and his girlfriend, Kayla – who arrived from Tennessee a few hours earlier. I was a bit nervous, because he called me earlier in the week, saying he was going to propose to her […]
Fascinated by Our Pear Tree
Wednesday, November 18 I am fascinated by our little, decorative pear tree this year. Maybe because it is one of the few trees in our woodlot that still has leaves. We planted it a few years ago – with money from our family – in memory of Cerwin’s mother. However, we don’t remember that the […]
I Heard Them Before I Saw Them
Wednesday Evening, November 18 The Canada geese looked pretty in the evening sun. I love to hear the honking and watch their formations.
Brilliant Sunrise
