August 2 Sunday School – Teacher Larry Rohrer Subject – Faith and Wisdom James 1:1-11 James wants us to come to a place where we can live in joy. Faith is not an elective in the Christian life. Everyone finds themselves in a struggle for joy, trust and faith. God will always give us reliable […]
Tuesday, July 28 When I looked outside for my usual 8 PM outside walk before going to bed, I noticed a beautiful sky and sunset. That was a beautiful walkaround before getting ready for bed.
Monday, July 27 This Carolina Wren “talked” to me while I was enjoying coffee on our favorite patio chair. He was in silhouette because of the morning sun, but I thought it was a great reminder to me of our morning chat. I have no idea what he said to me and I don’t think […]

Sunday, July 25 By now the corn – with tassels – is so tall that I can no longer see the Amish buggies coming up the road by our house. I promise you, there is an Amish family coming through the corn – I can hear the sound of the horse’s hooves. There they are! […]

July 25 It had been a stay-at-home-with-not-a lot-happening-kind of -week, so by Saturday morning I was ready to go for a backroad drive – and Cerwin liked the idea as well. He doesn’t have the need to get out of the house like I do, because he picks up milk and silage samples for DHIA […]

Friday, July 24 One of our bald cardinals. I am pleased that the grosbeaks stayed all summer. We have a lot of hummingbirds, but they only eat one at a time. I sometimes see two, but it’s when they are fighting over the feeder. 🙂 We were beneficiaries of Jere and Kristen’s homemade bread and […]
Wednesday Evening, July 22 Storm clouds Wind and rain coming across the valley The squash plants are getting wet. What delight to stand under the eaves of our house on a warm evening and watch the downpour. It was raining so fast some of the water came over the edge of the spouting. Water rushing […]
Tuesday, July 21 My favorite bird feeder this summer is this one I found at Tractor Supply. It holds round suet that I also purchased at Tractor Supply. This one is popular with the Downy Woodpeckers. The red-headed woodpecker also likes this suet. My only problem is that the starlings also like is, so if […]
Wednesday, July 22 The field of butternut squash across the road from our house. It is delightful to see lots of yellow blossoms – especially in the early morning sunshine. How about this for a view? This is the view from our dining room window – facing south. The golden tassels are breathtaking in the […]
Sunday, July 26 Sunday School Subject – Wisdom to Follow – John 14:1-4 Teacher – Ryan Bruckhart Who do you go to for wisdom? Obviously someone who has knowledge on a subject. Our lesson starts with these six words: “Let not your heart be troubled.” Jesus said this to His disciples because he had been […]
This story began in spring when I noticed that there were only a few lilac blooms on our bush. Then a few weeks ago – on a lazy Saturday afternoon – we were watching RFD TV, when a gardener was demonstrating how to prune a lilac bush. As we listened to him talk about lilac […]
Saturday, July 18 The heat was brutal to our stargazer lilies – then there was wind and rain – thus I am glad I took these pictures when they were pretty. They were short-lived this year, but delightful.
Thursday, July 16 Because this date is always prompt, I was ready by 6:15 AM and sitting on our deck chair. He said he would be here at 6:30. 6:28 AM. I told you he would be prompt. Cerwin is out working this morning – picking up milk and silage samples for Lancaster DHIA – […]
Tuesday, July 14 I went outside about 5:15 AM hoping to see the space station going overhead. It was supposed to be easily seen in our area. However, for some reason I didn’t find it. I have seen it before, but not on this morning. I did see Venus. the moon and a lot of […]
