Female House Finch
“Are you taking my picture?” “Is this a better pose?” “Or maybe this is better.”
Harvesting Soybeans
~~~ Thursday, November 10 ~~~ It was about 11:15 in the morning when I noticed the beginning of soybean harvest across the road from our house. The soybeans go into the bin, the plants and other stuff in the field come out the back. I took most of these pictures through windows in our kitchen/dining […]
Morning Sun – Morning Moon
~~~ Thursday Morning, November 10 7:06 am ~~~ I first noticed the morning sun which was changing the sky from dawn to full sunlight and took this picture from a bedroom window. I went outside (still in my housecoat – you can do that when you live in the country) – to enjoy the beautiful […]
Goldfinch
I enjoyed watching this goldfinch for a bit the other day as it posed on a shepherds hook right outside our dining area window. The males are much prettier than this when they become a brilliant yellow by March. Male and female look alike this time of year. They seem to stay here all year […]
Cerwin’s (redneck) Leaf-Picker-Upper
~~~ Tuesday, November 8 2:00 pm ~~~ I love watching Cerwin run this contraption around our yard. It reminds me how creative he is – and it means neither of us have to rake leaves. He built it on a small trailer many years ago – attached a 7″ flex hose to the old leaf […]

Hickory Tree Changes
It has been interesting to watch the changes in our roadside hickory trees as the leaves changed during the past 3 weeks. I took the pictures between 7:30 am and 9 am. Also notice the change in the sky – between sunny, cloudy and foggy. October 18. Peak color. Notice, there are only a few […]
Leaves. Leaves. Leaves Everywhere!
~~~ Tuesday, November 1 ~~~ This is what happens when you live in a woodlot with about 70 trees. Leaves fall and blow everywhere. In bird feeders In the birdbath On the driveway In flowerbeds On plants On the deck chair On the porch On the patio In the yard Leaves. Just one of things […]
Gospel & Bluegrass Music Night
~~~ Saturday Evening, October 29 New Covenant Mennonite Church, New Holland, PA ~~~ This very talented pianist played gospel music for more than an hour – from the time the doors opened at 4:30 pm until the concert began at 6:00 pm. The only time he looked at his sheet on the piano was to […]

Sunset Extraordinaire
~~~ Friday Evening, October 28 ~~~
Fall in Our Neighborhood
We had pretty leaves in our area this year. I took these pictures on October 26 as we travelled the road toward our house. The next day I took some pictures in our yard. It has been interesting to watch the sunset maple gradually turning from green to red. By November 2 it was totally […]
Things That Have Been Happening Around Here
Some of these photos didn’t fit into my dialog during the past six weeks, so, I made a post from this variety of shots. The Junco’s are back. I hadn’t been faithful in feeding the birds during the summer for a variety of reasons. I was busy and there was avian flu in several chicken […]
A Birthday Party for Velda
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, October 23 ~~~ It was fun going to the 80th birthday party for Cerwin’s sister, Velda which was organized by their three children. Left to right: oldest daughter, Dorretta; back son Donald and his wife Gabi center front; and youngest daughter Denise. Next to her is Don and Gabi’s son Jeremy. Velda’s […]
Jere and Kristen! Guard Your Chickens!
~~~ Sunday Evening, October 23 ~~~ We were coming by your house when Diane said, “Is that a fox?” I zoomed in with my camera and sure enough it was a fox – not far from your house. It was running away from your house, so until we stopped on Southview Road it was farther […]
