Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Thursday Evening, October 26 ~~~ It was a beautiful evening and time to spray our yard. Jere called a few minutes earlier to ask if it was okay if he came over in a few minutes. He lives close enough to drive the rig right to our house. 🙂 I look at this picture […]
If you are from our area, you know I did not take this picture today. It is rainy, cloudy and cold today. I took these pictures on Thursday, October 26 at 8:35 am. Breath-taking
One of our potted plants. Geraniums on the patio The decorative grass is the early stage of its winter display. A perennial flower
~~~ Wednesday Evening, October 25 ~~~ I never tire of watching this process – just below our yard. With this process, the corn goes to the bin and the stalks are chopped up and spit out on the ground. I expect the chopped corn stalks will eventually go for bedding for the cattle. Transferring the […]
We had a lot of yucca flowers in early summer, now we have abundant seedpods. Each one is filled with little black seeds. It’s amazing that beautiful flowers turn into a kind of ugly seed pod, but next spring we will repeat the processes and be blessed with more pretty white/green flowers. I am fascinated […]
~~~ Wednesday, October 26 ~~~ We tried a new restaurant this time and I think everyone was pleased. We had a smaller group than usual. There were a few health issues, plus it was a beautiful day, making it easy for some to work outside. We particularly liked this room. The high ceiling kept the […]
Facebook We love you! Dad and Mom
We had some things to do in Lancaster, so I grabbed my camera, hoping to see signs of Fall. Taking photos while Cerwin drives is a bit of a challenge. He doesn’t mind slowing down or even stopping when we are on a country road, but it’s a different story when in busy traffic. I […]
Sam Rittenhouse does and excellent job of staying in touch with TFC staff (active and retired) especially on their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. When talking to Glenn and Cheryl Hilt (retired chaplain) he learned that they would enjoy having lunch with those of us who get together every three months. Since they live in the […]
We never know when our leaves are at peak color. I expect the reds might be a bit redder in a few days and the yellows might be brighter, but this is what our woodlot looks like right now. The sky is also a pretty blue today. Our burgundy/red chrysanthemum is also in full color. […]
This is why I am slightly “jealous” of people who get to see beautiful sunrises each morning. Notice what we see – about the middle of the picture. Part of the blessing of living on the southwest side of a woodlot. 🙂 We will see partial sunrises in the winter when the sun is in […]
~~~ Monday Evening, October 16 ~~~ Nate’s birthday was earlier this year, and after a few delays, we decided to wait until mid-October so we (especially grandpa) could hear about his elk-hunting trip to Montana. Lauree, Nate, Cerwin and Me. He chose Blackworth Live Fire Grill for his birthday celebration. I enjoyed watching the traffic […]
~~~ Sunday, October 15 ~~~ It only happens a few times a year that more than three or four Amish carriages go by our house on a Sunday morning. That usually means there is church at the home of the Amish family who live closest to our house. We counted more that a dozen horse […]
~~~ October 15 ~~~
~~~ Friday, October 13 ~~~ We rarely miss our local farm show unless the weather is bad. This year the weather was nice and Cerwin was gifted a $10 bill to spend on food – from his parttime job with DHIA – so show their support for the Farm Show. We each got a cheesesteak. […]
