A Peaceful Evening
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ As I walked outside to get a few sunset pictures, I noticed the pretty moon. Compared to world news, I treasure quiet, beautiful sunsets. God keeps on creating beauty – even if we don’t take time to notice.
Falling Leaves
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ It was a windy day, so I tried to capture falling leaves, but that was easier said than done. 🙂 Cerwin had mowed the yard the day before – using his “red neck” leaf catcher – so the law was still fairly green, without much of a leaf cover. During […]
A Full Day
~~~ Saturday, November 6 ~~~ We were up early to be at a neighbor’s house by 4:45 AM – to take him to a 2-hour kidney dialysis appointment. It is good to be retired and have time to do something like this. After dropping him off at the health center, we went to a nearby […]
A Delightful Day
~~~ Thursday, November 4 ~~~ Another frosty morning outside our windows. Before the sun melted the frost, I noticed several Amish buggies and as I thought, “That is unusual for a Thursday morning,” I thought, “That must mean there is a wedding in the neighborhood. They are usually held on a Tuesday or Thursday in […]
A Pretty Morning in Our Neighborhood
~~~ Tuesday, November 9 ~~~

First Frost of This Season
~~~ Wednesday, November 3 ~~~ It was pretty, even though it destroyed some of our flowers. This is a good sign that the seasons are changing and winter is coming.
Living Hope International Ministries Banquet
~~~ Thursday Evening, October 28 at Shady Maple Restaurant ~~~ As we move into winter, we will again try to do something interesting about the middle of most weeks. At least on weeks that aren’t busy. During the summertime we have yard work and enjoy a vacation or two, which means we don’t feel the […]
Sauder Lunch and Evening Archery Success
~~~ Wednesday, October 27 ~~~ How delightful to enjoy our quarterly lunch with the Sauder cousins. One of the things I like about being retired is that many cousins are also retired – or partly retired. What fun to reminisce and catch up on each others lives. We learned that one of the ministers at […]

Lunch with Jake and Jane
~~~ Tuesday, October 26 ~~~ We have been talking about meeting at Brickerville House for many months, finally we got together on a day and time that suited the four of us. Internet Phot0 Our hostess seated us in the “Library”. I like this room. It is in the inner part of the restaurant. We […]
How Pretty Is Our Valley
~~~ Wednesday, October 27 ~~~ Fall colors in our area were not as brilliant as some years, but there were pockets of delightful beauty. I love this view of our valley. It has been delightful to drive south on our road – toward the mountain – on a sunny afternoon. I have been traveling on […]
A Birthday Party at Jeff & Chris’
~~~ Sunday Evening, October 24 ~~~ Following a delicious pizza and layer salad meal, we prepared for a six-person, birthday party. Zach watches as Nathan and Jenna light candles. Chris and Drake in the background. Nobody enjoys birthday parties more than Jade – especially when she is included in the celebration. Getting all the candles […]
Corn Fodder Bales
~~~ Monday, October 25 ~~~ I was expecting something to soon be happening in the field below our yard, because the leftover corn stalks and cobs had been raked into rows. The weather was not predicted to be very good during the next day or two. Toward evening (about 5 pm) I heard equipment in […]
My Friends the Finches
It has taken awhile to convince the birds to come back to our feeders following the time in August when the Pennsylvania powers-that-be suggested that we do not feed them because of a disease among the birds. August and early September were hot, so I waited until later in September to clean the feeders and […]
