2025 Birthday Supper with Jordan, Nicole, and Haven
After eating a Two Cousin’s meal, we enjoyed a light dessert of fruit, cookies and popcorn. Haven became a bit unsettled, so I rocked her this way to help keep her content. Cerwin enjoyed making her smile while we visited in our living room. What fun to spend an evening with Jordan, Nicole, and their […]
A Day Blessed by Delicious Deliveries
Wednesday, December 10 First, our next-door neighbor Dani and their two little boys (Tobin & Brooks) brought this delicious plate of cookies that the boys helped make. Along with the delivery was their family’s photo Christmas card. Later in the day Linnea and their son Bryce delivered our church fruit box. I loved when Bryce […]

The Morning Sun Changed the Coloring of a Dark-eyed Junco
This gray, black and white junco looked brownish/yellow in the bright early morning sunshine.
Male, Red-bellied Woodpecker
It was fun to see a Red-bellied Woodpecker at our suet again. I haven’t seen one for a while.
I Have a New Secret Sister for 2026!
Now another mystery begins until she reveals herself. I don’t think there are any “rules” about how long they keep it a secret. I found this small bag in our church mailbox on Sunday and am excited to begin another journey with a secret sister. The bag contained this note and three gifts. This turns […]
Our Propane Stove Feels Good Today
The low temperature for us today was 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Right now, it is the whole way up to 28 degrees.
Sunset and Canada Geese
I walked outside to capture the beautiful sunset on Saturday evening. As I walked back to the house, I heard the sound of Canada Geese who were probably heading home to roost for the night
A Gift of Cookies
Yesterday my sister messaged me with this note, “Are you home if I stop in this afternoon with cookies.” I replied, “YES!!” I knew what we were getting because she, her daughters, and granddaughters make lots of delicious cookies every December. Cookies don’t get any better than this. My first choice is always one of […]
A Snow Day
Tuesday, December 2 This was our view at 7:30 am. The frog in our birdbath was barely visible. By 10:30 am there was just a small bump to show that the frog was still there. It is fun to watch the birds fluttering around in the snow. Cerwin thought we had about 2″. North of […]
Snow on Our Roses
Tuesday, December 2 They looked so pretty – and frozen.
The Moon and a Bird’s Nest
The other evening as the sun was setting in the west and after I took the pictures I posted yesterday, I noticed two things: the beautiful moon in the sky and a bird’s nest in our dogwood tree on the patio. I did not notice the bird’s nest until all the leaves were gone. I […]

Hats
We kept Nathaniel and Abby’s four oldest children yesterday while their mom took Garth to the doctor for his one-year checkup then did some grocery shopping. We are in the process of gradually eliminating things we are no longer using, so Cerwin put about half a dozen hats on the kitchen table for their choosing. […]
