Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
When I saw this photo on my friend Sharyn’s Facebook page, saying she had separated her Siberian Iris and had several clumps (for free), I quickly responded. I messaged her that I would take two and could pick them up the next morning. She lives only two miles from us. Sometimes in the middle of […]

Wednesday Morning, August 12 It was a delightful morning to be outside at 6 AM. The last quarter moon was still quite bright. I love seeing early morning mist in our valley. It reminds me of what it might have been like in the Garden of Eden – with mist coming up from the earth.
Tuesday, August 11 (after the rainbow) This is what I saw on my usual evening walk-around at 8:00 pm. Photos taken from southeast to northwest. In the beginning God created the sky and the earth.

Tuesday Evening, August 11 Following a quick rainfall with immediate sunshine, I knew it was time to grab my camera and take the car around our neighborhood block. With tall corn and all the trees, my first good sighting of the rainbow was after my first turn on the road – next to the dairy […]
Friday Evening, August 7 Following a delicious supper, we celebrated five summer birthdays – featuring a cake for Jade. Jade was rather serious while her two candles were lit. Her face lit up when we began singing Happy Birthday. She quickly became aware that she was being celebrated. Blowing out her candles. Her mom encouraged […]
Thursday Evening, August 6 We told Lydia that she could choose a restaurant for her 2020 birthday while her mom was here if she wished. Her birthday isn’t until December, but with COVID it may be easier to eat out right now than in December. I tried taking a picture without the flash, but that […]
Wednesday Afternoon, August 5 This pool day at Refreshing Mountain was to celebrate Anthony and Jasmine’s 2020 birthdays. They had never been here, so it was fun to introduce this place to Anthony.

August 9 Sunday School – Subject: Hearing and Doing – James 1:19-27 – Teacher: Derrick Negley How do we become a hearer and a doer?

Monday Evening, August 3 It was a beautiful evening to check on the progress of the corn and squash. The corn is filling out nicely and the silk is turning brown – a sign of maturity. It looks like the Homestead will have a good corn crop. I smiled when I noticed a few butternut […]
“You should come outside to see the interesting things that are happening in your yard.” “You coming or not?” Oh, wow! There is a Chicken of the Woods mushroom. I know you can eat these, but I haven’t come to a point of being comfortable making them for us. I figured if a Chicken of […]
Sunday Evening, August 2 We arrived at Nate and Abby’s when supper was almost over – because my skydiving landing didn’t happen until 5:30. This was the day of our sweet little Jasmine’s first birthday (Jazzy to some). Her personal birthday cake included fresh blackberries from Grandma Zuck’s garden. Grandpa and Grandma (Dale and Luanne) […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
