Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
This morning I sent the boys out for the Sunday news paper. They were still barefoot and in their pajamas. I loved the laughter and racing. This afternoon – when I took a walk around our yard – I discovered that our tomato plant actually has a few tomatoes on it. I am not sure […]
I was glad that I had my camera along last evening when we went to visit Cerwin’s mother. There was a Great Egret on the edge of the pond at my brothers’ farm. (At least I think it is a Great Egret by photos on Wikipedia). They are beautiful to watch. This morning we had a […]
I am glad that we live in the country so nobody can see me walking around our yard in the early morning – in my house coat – taking pictures. 🙂 The moon was still bright when I went outside. The grass was damp and cool to my bare feet and the air was heavy with […]
Then God surveyed everything He had made, savoring its beauty and appreciating its goodness. Evening gave way to morning. That was day six. Genesis 1:31 (The Voice)
I quickly went for my camera when I looked out our kitchen window on Tuesday morning. It is difficult to find a prettier spider web than one that has been spun on a foggy, dew-covered, late summer morning. It must have been a night for spiders, because there were several webs near the house. Spider webs […]
I’m not sure when we began having all the Pennsylvania (and sometimes one or two Maine) grandchildren here for three to five days during the summer. The Maine grandchildren got to join the “party” when they were twelve and spent the summer here. I know that some of the older ones were fairly young. Now we are […]
The other night when we were at Jeff and Chris’ for the birthday party, we enjoyed watching one of the kittens playing with the long leaves in the vase of sunflowers. By the time I thought of taking pictures, she stopped. The sunflowers were from the funeral of Chris’ Grandpa Cassel earlier in the week.
I look for them each time we go by the Amish farms on the way to visit Cerwin’s mother. There are at least four Amish farms in the last few miles before we get to her place. Cerwin got this ones attention when he stopped the car, rolled the window down, and talked to him a bit. His ears […]
The other day I noticed there were lots of butterflies fluttering around the butterfly bush. As I approached the bush, about two dozen butterflies flew away. However, it didn’t take long for them to return. Do you see the “heart” on this one. I can’t determine if it is the butterfly’s design or from the […]
I planned to take several photos at the Hershey Reunion on Sunday, but forgot about it until most of the people had gone home. It was supposed to be held in the pavilion in our wood lot, but due to the uncertain weather at noon, we set up tables in our garage, kitchen, and […]
How is that for title combinations? That is because I wanted to finish the last set of pictures before I post Truck Rally pictures. After installing a ductless heating and cooling system a few weeks ago, and removing wall air conditioners, we either had to change our siding, or have strange-looking spots on the exterior walls. So […]
These words are all synonyms of the word miscellaneous – which is a perfect description for this entry of recent happenings in our lives. I received this photo of our granddaughter Lydia (from Maine) and the taggy blanket she made for a little boy – the son of a secretary at VoTech where she attends. I never heard of a taggy blanket, […]
Blue Jays Female Cardinal Male Cardinal Carolina Wren This was funny to watch. Apparently another bird began building a nest in this birdhouse – and this wren thought it was his house. He was throwing stuff out as fast as he could. You may wonder why this house has two entry/exit holes. It’s because a woodpecker made the […]
