A Delightful Evening
~~~ Saturday Evening, January 22 ~~~ I was mesmerized by the beautiful lavender and pink sky to our east as we drove to Lititz Family Cupboard to meet Cerwin’s siblings. Then, when I turned my head to the west, I saw this beautiful sunset. Left to Right: Cerwin, Velda, Patti, Bailey, Peyton, Elvin, Mel, Bob […]
View Across the Valley
~~~ Saturday, January 29 ~~~ This is the result of a friend asking me to take a picture of their woodlot from our house. There you are Sharyn. I used the Rohrer farm to locate your place on the hill. Taken from our front porch. 🙂
Love Our Country Life
It looks like someone is getting a delivery of bales.
Midweek Excursion
~~~ Wednesday, January 19 ~~~ We left the house shortly before 11 am to do a few things in the Ephrata area. I love these days that create something interesting for us to do in the middle of the week. Especially during winter weeks that are not busy. This time we chose Ephrata as our […]

Next Morning – After the Evening Snow
~~~ Monday, January 17 It was a beautiful morning. ~~~ Our front yard view Backyard and woods Closeup view of two leaves that ended up on our porch – after the snow. As much as I enjoy a beautiful sunrise, a snowy landscape is also pretty on an early morning.
Evening Snow
~~~ Sunday Evening, January 16 ~~~ Flurries started about the time we got home from the High Family lunch – late afternoon. By 7:30 pm it looked like this. I love watching snow flurries at nighttime.

Dorretta organized the meal on Sign-Up Genius. That way we could […]
Counted Cross-stitch Projects
Last week during our “midweek excursion” we did a variety of things in the Lancaster area. I purchased a new pair of winter boots at Boscov’s (Park City Shopping Center). I would have been embarrassed to wear my old ones to church, a restaurant, or store during a snowy day. I buy lots of things […]
Look Who Brought Us Supper
~~~ Wednesday Evening, January 12 ~~~ Our grandson Jordan messaged us the day before to check if we would be home on Wednesday evening. He said he would bring us supper. He messaged us the next day to say he would be stopping by Two Cousins Pizza. What did we want? We chose a small […]
Look at Those Sunset Colors
~~~ Wednesday Evening, January 12 ~~~ If I want to get a sunset picture without the phone and electric wires at the end of our driveway, I walk by this view. I like the contrast between the sunset and leafless branches. Loved how this pretty sunset spread across the western sky with all the shades […]
Smoky Sunset
~~~ Tuesday Evening, January 11 ~~~ I first noticed the sunset, then saw the large plume of smoke in the distance. I asked Cerwin what he thought it was. It looked controlled, so he surmised that it was coming from the emissions stack at Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority facility near Bainbridge. It is […]
Melting Icicles
~~~ Tuesday, January 11 ~~~ I love watching dripping icicles. For one thing it means the outside temperature is above freezing. By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen. Job 37:10 New King James Version
