Our Old Cherry Tree is Blooming This Year
~~~ Photos taken Sunday, April 11 ~~~ I think this tree was in the woods when I went to the one-room-schoolhouse next door. First through third grade. We don’t remember it being so pretty in a long time.

Happy 80th Birthday to My Favorite Cerwin
I am honored to be his wife and proud of the man he has become. He has grown to be a strong spiritual leader in our family. Today our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren includes 44 people. When we met 60 years ago, one of his greatest fears was standing before a group of people. […]
Our Weeping Cherry Tree is Beautiful this Year
~~~ Photos taken Thursday, April 8 and Tuesday, April 13 ~~~ We are having a windy day today, April 21. At times it looks like snowflakes are going by our windows, but it is pretty cherry blossoms.
A Birthday Party for Bennett
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, April 18 ~~~ Bennett’s parents treated everyone to a lunch of sandwiches, macaroni salad, chips and juice – while Bennett finished his late morning nap.

New Growth
~~~ Photos taken Thursday, April 8 and Thursday, April 15 ~~~ I think hostas looks so pretty when they are coming up out of the ground. One week later the young shoots have opened into full leaves. Love the beauty of new growth in springtime.
White-throated Sparrow
~~~ Photos taken Wednesday, April 7 ~~~ The White-throated Sparrow is distinctive because of its black striped head and yellow feathers above its eye. From the Internet: White-throated Sparrows show loyalty to their winter and summer territories and are likely to return to the same areas each year. I was interested to learn that White-throated […]
Our Flowering Pear Tree
~~~ Photos Taken on April 8 and 14 ~~~ We planted this Cleveland Pear tree in April of 2019 in memory of my step-mother who died toward the end of 2018. She would enjoy seeing how pretty it has become. We have created a tradition of planting a tree or bush in honor of our […]
Trash Tulips
~~~ Photos taken Wednesday, April 14 and Thursday, April 15 ~~~ We have tulips everywhere this year – even in the woods area where we throw our yard trash. “Bloom where you are planted” comes to mind when I see their beauty among the weeds and trash. They have no idea that they are not […]
TFC Global Celebration
~~~ Saturday Evening, April 10 ~~~ Cerwin and I were looking forward to this evening at Yoder’s, because we did not have to be involved in the planning of the program. 🙂 When ordering tickets, we had a choice of two meats: chicken or beef. Cerwin chose beef, I chose chicken. Ron Fraser, TFC Global […]
The Many Ways of a Northern Mockingbird
~~~ Photos taken on a variety of days in April ~~~ Mockingbirds sometimes stay in the same area, but I think we are north far enough that ours travel south for the winter, because they seem to be missing during the cold weather. I googled, “How many kinds of mockingbirds are there?” The answer I […]
Upgrading Our Light Pole
~~~ Photos Taken Tuesday, April 6 ~~~ Our light pole has needed updated for many years. Years when we were busy with TFC – meaning it always got put on a backburner. Cerwin’s first job was removing the old globe, which had a bullet hole in it from when our grandsons and friends hung out […]
