Gracie’s on West Main with Friends
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 […]
Snow Geese & Tundra Swans
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 […]
Three Snowy Days in Early February
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.
Winter Sunrise
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.
Spring Roses Vendor Show
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 […]
A Snowy Day in Early February
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 […]
Things I See Outside Our Kitchen Window
I took these pictures on a variety of days – since the beginning of the year. We have a lot of walkers on our road. There must have been something going on in the Amish community because I saw a variety of buggies and vans. You don’t often see an Amish buggy being pulled by […]
Sunrise – Sunset
Early February The next time you are in church, sit in a front row. You will be amazed at how much more you will learn. Pray with perseverance and expectancy. Pick a passage or chapter of the Bible and memorize it. Put loose change in a jar – when full donate to a charity. You […]
Oh, No. A Hawk Snatched One of Our Birds!
Friday Afternoon, February 18 I heard a loud thud and knew a large bird hit the window. I quickly went to a window and saw a hawk with a bird he had taken from one of our feeders. 🙁 I think it was a bit dizzy from hitting the window, because it immediately landed and […]
Birthday Supper
Monday Evening, March 1 We had a pretty, evening drive to Kountry Kitchen, north of Manheim. Oh, look who met us there. Our sweet great grandson – Bennett (playing with a straw) – and his parents. This birthday treat was for Donovan’s birthday in early February. Diana’s quesadilla meal. Donovan’s Philadelphia steak Cerwin’s ham loaf […]

Breakfast with My Sister
I love these yearly birthday events. This time she was treating – for my birthday – which was in early February. The lighting was really bad – without flash – because of the windows behind us. We go to Lititz Family Cupboard because we like their Eggs Benedict. I was only going to order one […]

Changing Icicles as the Sun Set One Early February Evening
It was a nice, winter evening and since I noticed these icicles from inside, I went outside to get another view. A view from inside before sunset. They started getting a different glow as the sun went lower.
