Corn Fodder Bales
~~~ Monday, October 25 ~~~ I was expecting something to soon be happening in the field below our yard, because the leftover corn stalks and cobs had been raked into rows. The weather was not predicted to be very good during the next day or two. Toward evening (about 5 pm) I heard equipment in […]
My Friends the Finches
It has taken awhile to convince the birds to come back to our feeders following the time in August when the Pennsylvania powers-that-be suggested that we do not feed them because of a disease among the birds. August and early September were hot, so I waited until later in September to clean the feeders and […]

A Clean Sink – A Side Benefit to Fasting
~~~ Wednesday, October 20 ~~~ Following a twenty-hour fast, I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the kitchen in the late afternoon and noticed a clean sink. There were no snack crumbs anywhere, no leftover lunch dishes – just a clean sink. The coffee cups that held black coffee in the morning had been […]

Note to Self – Do Not Start Turning the RAV4 Before Leaving the Garage
~~~ Wednesday, October 13 ~~~ I was ready to leave to take a neighbor to a doctor appointment when a delivery truck pulled in behind our garage. He had several boxes, so I went outside to ask if he could back up so I could get out of the garage. Apparently my mind was not […]
Applebee’s for Lunch
~~~ Monday, October 18 ~~~ We enjoyed lunch at Applebee’s by using part of a gift card given to Cerwin for some of the maintenance work he has done at the TFC Global Office for the past few years. Thank you! He recently stopped doing the mowing, snow removal and minor maintenance and turned it […]

More on the Cornfield Below Our Yard
~~~ October 16, 20, 21, 22 ~~~ This is continued from the nighttime photos I posted yesterday. By Saturday morning (16th) we had a view again. 🙂 Corn stubble and cobs after the corn was harvested.

Corn Harvest in Neighboring Fields
~~~ Friday, October 15 ~~~ This corn had been harvested four days earlier, now it was time for our neighbor across the road to bale and pick up the corn fodder.

Preparing Cornstalks for the Cattle’s Bedding
~~~ Tuesday Evening, October 12 ~~~ The corn has been harvested, now the neighbor across the road is chopping the leftover cornstalks and cobs in preparation for corn fodder bales. I love country living and having a window view of the neighboring fields. Corn fodder makes good bedding for cattle. There will be follow up […]
Pretty Chrysanthemum and Hairy Woodpecker
When I tried to spell chrysanthemum, I understood why the name has been reduced to the nickname “mum”. 🙂 I bought this mum last fall so there would some beauty at our front door after the summer flowers in the doorway pot were no longer looking pretty. I was surprised that it survived the winter […]
