The Growth of a Sunset Maple
This is what our Sunset Maple looked like 14 years ago when it was planted in 2008. Jordan, do you remember helping us choose a good tree? 🙂 Look at it now!

Spiderweb Outside Our Window
Aren’t spiders amazing creatures?
Our Pretty Crepe Myrtle Bush
Our Crepe Myrtle bush is especially pretty this year. It’s what we see each time we look out our kitchen window. Because of the brilliant red we sometimes miss the pretty little yellow flowers in the middle.

Jazzy’s Birthday Party
~~~ Tuesday, August 2 6:00 PM ~~~ What fun to celebrate a 3-year old’s birthday. Jasmine wanted a kitty cake. I found this in our birthday shelf and thought she would enjoy it. I forgot it was there with my birthday stuff. Homemade pizza (with sourdough crust) and watermelon for supper. Everything was delicious, but […]
What Is He Planting?
Remember the other week when I showed this picture and promised to tell you what he was sowing? It is reveal time! We soon learned that it wasn’t corn. It was soybeans that came up looking healthy.
Yellow Hearts Are Falling on Our Driveway
They don’t all fall at the same place, so I gathered some to show you the variety. Most of our Red Bud leaves are still green… …but fall is coming, and several are turning yellow and falling from the tree. I enjoy the variety of leaves in our woodlot.
Brunch at Richland Railroad Diner
~~~ Monday, July 25 10:00 AM ~~~ We have been trying to get together with Nelson and Nancy for several weeks. He messaged us the night before expecting that it may be too short a notice. It wasn’t. 🙂 We had a delicious brunch and sweet fellowship. I think Cerwin and Nelson are 2nd cousins. […]
Sparrows
I rarely make an entry about sparrows because they are so common, but I figure they need their own post just like some of the pretty and less common birds. The internet tells me: Sparrows can be found in nearly every habitat, from deserts and arid grasslands to marshes, forests and even urban areas. Most […]

Potter’s House Pig Roast Benefit
~~~ Saturday, July 23 ~~~ We enjoyed this event last year when we basically went to “hang out” with our friend Sam Rittenhouse, so decided to go back again this year to learn more about the ministry – and “hang out” with Sam and his dog Suzie. Oh, and to enjoy the good food. 🙂 […]

Corn Growth in July
I took the first picture in early July and the last one today. Notice the height of corn by the window on the small shed on the right. Also, you can still see the road that goes by our house. July 26 – The window is almost covered, and you can no longer see the […]
Sealing Our Driveway
~~~ Friday, July 22 10:00 AM ~~~ Our driveway was ready for a sealer topping. They started about 10:00 AM by blowing off debris. Then they sealed all the cracks. By the time they were finished it looked like Kintsugi. Kintsugi is usually used on pottery, but I guess the same analogy can be used […]
Lunch with Sauder Cousins
~~~ Wednesday, July 20 12:00 Noon ~~~ We got there just before noon and the room reserved for us was already full. 🙂 I remembered to take a few pictures after we were finished eating. Do you think John and Marvin noticed that I was taking a picture. 🙂 Six of us (Gerald, Lucy, Kenny, […]
