Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Wednesday, October 27 ~~~ Fall colors in our area were not as brilliant as some years, but there were pockets of delightful beauty. I love this view of our valley. It has been delightful to drive south on our road – toward the mountain – on a sunny afternoon. I have been traveling on […]
~~~ Sunday Evening, October 24 ~~~ Following a delicious pizza and layer salad meal, we prepared for a six-person, birthday party. Zach watches as Nathan and Jenna light candles. Chris and Drake in the background. Nobody enjoys birthday parties more than Jade – especially when she is included in the celebration. Getting all the candles […]
~~~ 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 […]
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 […]
~~~ Thursday, October 21 These photos were taken within 60 seconds – just different parts of the view from where I stood in our front yard. ~~~ East East to south A broader view of east to south South to west Somewhere in the area of southwest West and up
~~~ 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 […]
~~~ Tuesday, October 19 ~~~ Of course, we had to eat before we worked. 🙂 A lady saw me taking a picture of the other three and asked if she could take a picture that included me. 🙂 They had a U-Haul of his mother’s things to unload. Roy had gone to Florida to get […]
~~~ 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 […]
~~~ 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 […]
~~~ Saturday, October 16 ~~~ Especially when I can be on the inside looking out. 🙂 Rain feels cleansing and refreshing.
~~~ 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. A few days later they were chopping the corn stalks to prepare for baling. Preparing the corn fodder for […]
~~~ 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. This will probably be used for bedding for his horses and maybe the goats. This Amish farmer uses a combination of equipment. Notice the […]

~~~ Wednesday, October 13 ~~~ Hickory nut leaves Redbud tree Crape Myrtle Seed Pots Dogwood leaves Lilly of the Valley leaves. The geraniums are looking especially pretty. There are a few azalea flowers. Some of our potted flowers are still pretty but looking a bit ratty. Even though it is end of season for leaves […]
~~~ 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 […]
