Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Thursday, August 14 ~~~ This was the day we celebrated our local great grandchildren’s 2025 birthdays. For those who live in Maine, Tennessee and California, we try to do something special when they visit us. Drake, Lainey, Jade, Jenna, and Harper Aleah and Great Aunt Deb. Deb usually comes along to help with childcare. […]
Nate, Lauree, and their girls were here on Wednesday evening for his Two Cousins Birthday Meal. This time he ordered a Two Cousins cheeseburger sub, Lauree’s was a regular cheeseburger sub. Cerwin had a cheesesteak sub and I had a BLT sub. The girls loved their cheese pizza. We ate in the garage because it […]
~~~ Wednesday, August 13 ~~~ If you follow my blog, you will remember from three weeks ago that my niece, Karen’s family, friends, and neighbors processed more than 300 dozen ears of corn. Most was given as a gift to those in our church family and neighborhood who had recently gone through tragedy, health issues, […]
~~~ Tuesday, August 12 ~~~ Our granddaughter Jenna brought their children this morning for a play date at our house. In this photo Harper was asking Grandpa to put this little sprayer bottle together. Because we were inside, we did not give her any water. So she had fun pretending that she was spraying everyone.

Yesterday I decided to relax for a few minutes in the sunshine on our patio. This is what I saw. Our tall Hickory trees are good view blockers.
You can watch the corn grow in this series of pictures. July 23 – 1:00 pm The corn was too tall to see that this person was walking two dogs. July 23 – 1:45 pm Hauling manure July 28 – 8:33 am The road is still visible from our kitchen window. July 30 – 6:20 […]

The other morning Cerwin got my attention because a doe and her fawn were enjoying a stroll on the road next to our house. I love how the young one is very alert. Notice its ears. I love our country road.
There were lots of bees flying around. Two are kind of camouflaged in this picture. I zoomed in a bit to show you the full pollen sacs on this one. You can see the full pollen sacs better in this crop. During a windy day a few days ago, our driveway was lined with Crape […]
Today as I was weeding this area, I thought, “This would be a good place for our old patio set.” I am quite pleased with how well it fit. It looks quite inviting. After getting new patio chairs the other year, we placed this one back in the woodsy area, but it took a lot […]
There were 31 people this time. Most were cousins. There were a few children of cousins. Mostly to bring parents or aunts who are no longer driving. I took the first 3 pictures while Walter Kolb was praying for the meal and our families. We love this time when we get to see Sauder cousins. […]
