Some Mornings Just Take My Breath Away
The sunshine, the temperature, and the view.
Corn Silage
Someone in the neighborhood is harvesting corn silage. I happened to be sitting on the patio when this tractor and wagon went by our house. Before long there was another wagon. Our road was busy with these pieces of equipment throughout the afternoon. This will help feed their cattle through the winter. I enjoy this […]

My flower app tells me they are New Guinea Impatiens. I enjoy their beauty each time I look out a kitchen window.

One thing I like about crepe myrtle is, that even after full bloom, there are pretty flowers scattered throughout the bush. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Red Maple Samaras in the Sunshine and Something to Ponder

Final Cleanup from the Tree That Fell on Our House
After the tree was gone and the yard and house were repaired, I decided to focus on the flowerbed in front of our house. I was surprised that almost every square foot was covered with sticks, hickory nuts, leaves, and bark A sample of what I was picking up: shards of bark, sticks of varying […]
Share the Harvest and Something to Ponder
This is what we picked up at our “Share the Harvest” table after morning worship. It’s always fun to see what is there. There was also garden tea, basil, rosemary, and other herbs, fresh eggs and peppers. A few weeks ago, we got two packs of frozen sausage links from a full ice chest of […]
