Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Tuesday, January 17 ~~~ The brilliant sky hid the fact that light rain or snow was predicted within minutes. I reminded Cerwin that a red sky in the morning is a sailor’s warning. When I came back from taking these pictures – through a guestroom window, Cerwin said, “Did you see the rainbow in […]
It was resting on a shepherd’s hook when a gust of wind came along and ruffled its feathers. Then the wind stopped, and it could relax until the next gust of wind. An Interesting fact about dark-eyed juncos: They form monogamous pairs (that mate for a lifetime) and produce 2 to 3 broods per season.
~~~ Tuesday, January 10 4:45 am ~~~ Each morning – after getting a coffee cup out of the cupboard – I look out the window to see what is happening at the feeders. On occasion I see a skunk, opossum or raccoon. On this cold morning it was fun to see a nice raccoon eating […]

~~~ Monday, January 9 ~~~ We woke to a beautiful dusting of snow on Monday morning. The morning moon was also bright and beautiful. I said to Cerwin that our two-hour drive to Sunbury, PA, should be pretty – and it was. However, we were surprised to discover that we had more snow in our […]
This one was really moving.
~~~ Sunday, January 8 ~~~ Diana (our granddaughter) has been trying to get in her 2022 Birthday meal for several weeks, but it seemed something always hindered it. She and Donovan were doing a lot of local hunting – and did fill their freezer with venison – then there were several Christmas meals. Finally, we […]
It had been a few months since I updated you on what I was working on in my counted cross stitch projects. Last fall I told you that all I had left to do on the raccoon was the background. Backgrounds are nice to do in the evening, but a solid background can also be […]
I was blessed and in awe of the first sunrise of the year.
~~~ Friday Evening, January 6 ~~~ We have been working on going out with Roy and Deb – for his 2022 birthday – for quite a while. They wanted to get it in before the end of the year and planned a date here on December 30. Then Roy pulled a muscle in his back, […]
I have been watching Carolina Wrens from the time I knew anything about birds. I remember seeing them when I was young. I enjoy watching all birds and learning new things, or just being amazed at feather patterns – even in the most common birds. I know birds have tongues, but never thought much about […]
The last few days have felt like spring, so I went outside to see if there are any signs of things springing up from the ground. The trees certainly don’t give us signs of spring. I didn’t even find any bursting buds. The oak trees still have their old leaves from last year, with no […]
It was especially fun to capture this shot of him with two other birds – a Chickadee and House Finch. There was another male cardinal hanging out in the Dogwood tree. After spending some time in the colander, he moved to the tire feeder.
This was one of the last sunsets of 2022. The evening sky and shadows on our driveway captured my attention. It is amazing how quickly the sky changes during the transition of a sunset.
This scene happened right in front of us a few days ago when we were on our way home after visiting Cerwin’s brother Elvin and his wife Pat. (She recently had rotator cuff surgery and we found her doing well.) As first I thought the boys behind the carriage were riding their scooters at a […]
