Sunday October 26 in Maine
I always enjoy seeing Mark and Diane’s hydrangea. This time it is in its fall colors. I like this new yard decoration. It is made with melted (heated), painted, vinyl records. ~~~ We enjoyed going to morning worship at Wales Brethren Church, Wales, Maine. After that it was fun to participate in their “Guess Who […]
Driving to Maine – Day 2 – Part 2
Saturday, October 25 Traveling from Sanford, ME to Lisbon Falls, ME We had another beautiful drive to where Mark and Diane (our daughter) live. There was an accident on the interstate as we approached South Portland, so we decided to exit and look for a place for an early lunch. The accident was still being […]
Driving to Maine – Day 2 – Part 1
Saturday, October 25 It was a beautiful morning as we drove from Vernon, Connecticut, to Sanford, Maine. I especially liked these two shots of the sun coming up between the trees with a bit of fog added. More pretty fall scenery Our goal for the morning was to stop at His, Yours and Mine shortly […]
Driving to Maine – Day 1
Friday, October 24 For the first time in the 39 years that Mark and Diane have lived in Maine, we divided the 10-hour trip in half. Due to the pain in Cerwin’s hip – from arthritis – he thought 5 hours was a long enough drive, so we had motel reservations in Vernon, Connecticut. Because […]
Corn Stalk Shredder
The other day we were watching as the corn fodder in the field next to us was being shredded by a piece of farm equipment we had never seen. I zoomed in on it and saw the name Salford, so I googled, “What does a Salford corn stalk shredder do?” This was Google’s answer. A […]

A Thirtieth Birthday Party for Nicole
Several weeks ago, our grandson Jordan asked if he could use our garage for a thirtieth birthday for his wife, Nicole. I love when our grandchildren are comfortable doing that because of our large garage. 🙂 Nicole, the celebrity of the day. She is the mother of our newest great grandchild, Haven Because there were […]
Farm Show French Fries
Friday, October 10 We usually go to the Manheim Farm Show at least once during the week-long event. This year it was just to get lunch on Friday. Farm Show recently built their own permanent French fry building. We chose to go on Friday because that was the day Jere and Kristen were overseeing the […]
Harvest Time in Our Neighborhood
The day after we returned from our friend’s mountain cabin, the corn harvest began next to our yard. In this harvest, you will notice that the corn stalks are still green, which means they are chopping the stalk and the corn together – making corn silage – which the cattle enjoy eating. Farmers mix this […]
Weekend at a Friend’s Mountain Cabin
I still don’t have my laptop but am slowly adjusting Cerwin’s laptop to what I need to post new photos. My tech guy was looking for a good deal for me, but it takes a long time to come from Korea. 🙂 October 3-5 at Gene and Rose’s mountain cabin Rose and Fay on the […]
