Sleet
Sunday, January 3 This is what our property looked like on the first Sunday morning of the year. It was not enough sleet to cause issues on the road, so we were able to get to church. Some who come to church from north of us had to be more cautious.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Saturday, January 2 It was cold outside, but beautiful to be inside and see the beauty around us. I took these pictures about 11:00 am. The sun was so bright that I could not photograph it. It’s in the center of the cloud in the upper center. By evening the sun put on another beautiful […]
This is What the First Day of 2021 Looked Like in Our Area
Cerwin and I did not stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve, but went to bed early and woke up early – long before the sun came up in the eastern sky on the first day of 2021. A pretty sunrise on the first day of a new year gives me hope – even […]
Last Photos of a Day in 2020
Tuesday, December 29 The day began with an extra ordinary sunrise. It was like seeing fire in the sky. Later I noticed the most ordinary of sparrows – a House Sparrow – in its winter coat, which is less brilliant than spring and summer. When I watch one of these, I am always reminded of […]
It Was a Cold Winter Day When These Two Came for Suet
I love watching wrens. One was going for the sunflower suet, the other preferred mealy worm suet. I am grateful for the interesting birds that come to our suet and birdseed.
So, What Did You Do with Your Second Day of the Year?
These pictures were from Friday, December 18, and not today. Today started cold and rainy. As I am posting this during the late afternoon, it is cool and sunny. I woke up early, which is normal for me. I like to go to bed early and get up early. 4 to 5 AM is my […]
The Snow of Thursday, December 17
It was beautiful to see that it had snowed several inches during the night. The birds were having trouble finding their black oil sunflower seeds. I felt sorry for them and threw a bunch of sunflower seeds on the snow. After his morning coffee, Cerwin opened the driveway before going to the TFC Global office […]

Traveling Into a Beautiful Sunset
Tuesday, December 15 The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful as we traveled from a quick delivery to Leola on the way to a birthday party on the western side of Elizabethtown. We were running a bit late, so there was no time to stop and get proper pictures. As the sun set deeper over the horizon, […]
Sunday Visitors
December 27 What fun to see Josh (grandson), Tucker and Emily. They stopped in for a short visit – before heading back to Philadelphia. They had been at Jere and Kristen’s for their family Christmas celebration.
Cloudy Sunrise & Evening Display of Saturn and Jupiter
Friday, December 18 It was a beautiful, cloudy and snowy sunrise By evening I went outside to see if I could find Saturn and Jupiter – most evenings had been cloudy, so I was not able to sight them. It was certainly easy to find the moon in a clear part of the southwestern sky. […]
Our Christmas Day
Our day started with coffee at Nate (grandson) and Lauree’s house. We planned to deliver their Christmas gift before Christmas, then were able to give it to them at Jeff and Chris’ house last week. I teased them that now they have to invite us for coffee so we can see their house. They took […]
