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. […]

Downy Woodpecker
I enjoyed watching this male downy woodpecker on a recent wintry day.
A Dusting of Snow This Morning
Sunday, November 30 As we were preparing for church this morning, we noticed a few snowflakes coming down through the cold, cloudy sky. The frozen birdbath showed the most evidence of snow. We could also see the snow on our small porch. Our frozen Gerbera Daisy looked cold. By the time we left for church […]
Grilled Cheese & Chili Con Carne Sandwiches
This morning as I was organizing our refrigerator, I thought the possibility for lunch looked like we would be having leftovers. There was chili con carne, which Deb gave us on Thanksgiving Day and chicken corn chowder that I made earlier in the week. We had both for meals on Friday. As I was trying […]
Thanksgiving Lunch at Jere & Kristen’s House
Thursday, November 28 Turkey from the smoker. Oh, yum! You may remember my Thanksgiving flower arrangement from yesterday. This one was also from Lauree. Kristen telling us what to expect for lunch and the variety of foods already on the table. Mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing (filling), peas, and sweet potatoes. Cerwin, Jeff, Josh, Kristen, Jere, […]
Thanksgiving Flowers
The other evening we were surprised by a knock on the door. It was our granddaughter-in-law Lauree who presented us with this beautiful flower arrangement. She said it was from an anonymous person. Lauree designed them – for anyone who wished to order them. We soon learned that this was a gift from our youngest […]

Bluebird and Chickadee
I enjoy seeing more birds these days as the weather gets colder and those who moved south are here for the next few months. During the summer and fall months there are plenty of grains available in the nearby fields and farms so I don’t fill the feeders as frequently Eastern Bluebirds are here most […]

Garth’s First Birthday Party
Saturday, November 22 (one day before his birthday) He didn’t seem to understand why all the attention was on him. He was fascinated by all the balloons that his Aunt Lydia brought. We enjoyed a delicious supper of roasted vegetables and sausage. Because she was at the end of the table, Lydia took this picture […]
A Beautiful Frosty Morning in Our Yard
Rhododendron The top of a birdfeeder A frosted frog in a frozen birdbath Frost tipped rose Perennial stonecrop looked extra pretty with frosted edges Our new spreading juniper was pretty as well The fallen leaves also captured my attention.
Visitors for Supper
Tuesday, November 18 The other day our granddaughter Diana messaged me about bringing their children for a play date. We eventually settled on suppertime. Her husband, Donovan, his dad, and some of his brothers are on a white tail hunting trip in the Midwest, so it was a good way for these four to spend […]
Christmas Lights in Our Hometown
We were surprised to drive into the Manheim square on Saturday evening and see that the Christmas lights were already on display. I think I remember when that didn’t happen until after Thanksgiving, but I am okay with Christmas lights being displayed for a very long time. I love Christmas – and even better – […]
