Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Photos taken on Sunday, March 14 ~~~ When I was coming home from Jana’s bridal shower last Sunday, I noticed a Great Blue Heron in a neighbor’s pond, so turned around at the next driveway to get some pictures. Of course, as soon as I stopped the car, it flew away. When I looked […]
~~~ Photos taken in early March ~~~ I enjoy the quietness of winter, but when the weather gets warmer and there are other signs of springtime, I am ready for new growth and working in our flowerbeds. There are a few Eastern Bluebirds here during the winter, but we begin seeing more as springtime approaches. […]
~~~ Photos from the end of February and early March. ~~~ It isn’t often that one of our cardinals is at the feeder close to our kitchen window in good lighting. This one cooperated nicely. A male Downy Woodpecker at the mealy worm suet. It looks like it must have been windy as its feathers […]
~~~ Photos from Wednesday, February 24 ~~~ Throughout the winter, we have been trying to go for a short drive in the middle of each week. On this particular day we visited friends in a retirement community. They live in an apartment, so visitors are welcome – with masks. It was nice seeing new scenery […]
Photos from February 21 Look on the bright side. Contentment with your situation breeds satisfaction. Be a peacemaker Your attitude is more important than your aptitude.
Sunday, March 14 – My final post from the shower. Since Deb doesn’t have a blog, I asked her to send photos that she thinks I may not have gotten. I will mark her photos. ~~~ Posed Photos with Jana A group of friends This took me back to when Renee and Jana were school […]

Sunday, March 14. 11 am to 2 pm drop-in brunch. For our granddaughter, Jana, who is marrying Austin Garber in May. Our daughter Deb and I were asked to take pictures of the day. Deb arrived early and took pictures until 12:30 – before she needed to go home. I stayed until the end and […]
Mid-February Remember that God values you for who you are, not what you do. The difference between mediocre and excellent is usually a very small amount of effort. To belittle is to be little. Be one who says positive things about others. Be loyal to your spouse. Express admiration in public.
Wednesday, March 10 – 1:00 PM I love reading all the chalk quotes in this restaurant in Leola. I understand that Gracie writes them. Inge, Cerwin, Barbara, Sam, Peg and Bunny. We have each (except Barbara) served with Transport For Christ for many years and are still involved with TFC Global in various ways. We […]
Tuesday, March 9 – Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area This was our second trip to Middle Creek Wildlife area this year – a record for us – to see the migrating Snow Geese and Tundra Swans. You can tell we are retired. 🙂 Our first sighting of them was from across the lake while driving […]
A nearby creek There were lots of birds hanging around our birdfeeders. I am glad for a spring-like day in our area today, but it is fun to remember what it looked like around here one month ago.
Early February Decide on a daily basis to not complain. Complaining feeds the fuel of all irritations. What you think determines what you do. Know your strengths and weaknesses and work on them.
Saturday, March 6 We enjoy visiting this craft show – at Manheim Farm Show Exhibition building – done by friends, young ladies from our church, plus others we don’t know. We go because we enjoy seeing what is there – not so much because we need anything. At our age we are trying to eliminate […]
We had a lot of snow in early February, meaning I have lots of pictures from that time period. Cerwin shoveled a bit of a path to the mailbox. Two Dark-eyed Juncos perched on a ledge under the house roof for protection from the snow. A male cardinal perched on a dogwood branch enjoying the […]
