Church Fellowship Meal
~~~ Sunday Evening, September 18 5 pm ~~~ We got there just about 5 pm which was the arrival time for the meal at LAMS (Lititz Area Mennonite School) and watched as people arrived and arranged the hot food, salads and desserts in their proper place. Several watched from the stage (right) as more and […]
An Anniversary Gift
~~~ Saturday, September 17 ~~~ Jere came over in the early afternoon to give us cheesecake that Kristen made for our anniversary a few days earlier. Two slices were vanilla and the other two were raspberry. I told Cerwin to not touch it before I got a photo. 🙂 If you think you have tasted […]

Caterpillar With a Purpose
~~~ Friday, September 16 4:25 pm ~~~ While walking around the yard I noticed this caterpillar on our driveway who was focused on going somewhere. It didn’t seem bothered that I was nearby. It kept on moving toward its goal. I should have followed it to see where it was going in such a hurry.

Share the Harvest Sunday
~~~ September 18 ~~~ Because we have been blessed by those who brought fresh garden or field items to church for sharing, we waited until it was time to go home this week before checking out the “Share the Harvest” table in the fellowship hall. This beautiful bouquet was still there, so we brought it […]
Mushrooms in Our Yard
~~~ Wednesday Afternoon September 14 3:28 PM ~~~ I haven’t seen many mushrooms this summer – probably because it has been so dry. These surfaced after our 3″ rain a few days earlier. I almost missed these two because they were hidden under the ground cover in the flowerbed. I enjoy seeing the individuality of […]
Last Rose of Summer
The other day I was working on our patio flowerbed – pulling weeds, cutting back our Lily of the Valley and trimming the miniature rose bush – in preparation for colder weather and noticed this rose. It was so pretty that I brought it indoors so I could see it closeup for a few days. […]
Evening
~~~ Going Home from Blackworth Restaurant Wednesday, September 14 7:02 PM ~~~ Don’t miss the dog. Facing west about the same time I took the previous photo. Evening is a beautiful time when you live in the country.
Birthday Meal for Deb at Blackworth Restaurant
~~~ Wednesday Evening, September 14 5 PM ~~~ This is a fairly new restaurant in Lititz – in the old Wilbur Chocolate Factory. I was glad Deb chose this because we had never been there. The live fire grill was across the room from us. I was testing the lighting because of the window in […]
This Week’s Share the Harvest
~~~ Sunday, September 11 ~~~ There were a variety of flower arrangements on the “Share the Harvest” table at church this week. This is the one that we have been enjoying.
I Love to Breath in the Air on These Late Summer Mornings
~~~ 6:42 AM ~~~ The grass is soft and green since last week’s rain – instead of dry and a bit crunchy The mornings are still warm, but slightly cooler with a hint of fall in the air. There is a bit of fog some mornings which highlights the gold on the corn tassels. Don’t […]

Surprising a Great Blue Heron
~~~ Friday, September 9 2:48 PM ~~~ We saw a heron at the farm pond earlier in the day, so stopped to see if it was still there when we came home. At first, we thought it was gone then there it was right in front of us – instead of in back of the […]
Parade of Old Cars
~~~ Friday Afternoon, September 9 ~~~ It was a beautiful afternoon as we traveled home from the visitation for a friend’s father who had died several days earlier. We didn’t think much about it when we saw an old car heading toward us as we approached a village near our house. Then we saw another, […]
Just Part of a Sunset
This was all I could see of the sunset the other evening when I went to the kitchen window – just before going to bed.
