Early Morning Sky & Beautiful Wood Nymph
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 […]
Morning Sunshine ~ Evening Rain
Sunday, July 12 I loved watching the Amish carriages coming up the road between the cornfields – on the way to their church services. If the corn gets any taller, I won’t be able to see the carriages and vehicles. By evening the sky turned dark and we had a good rain. Some people were […]
Bistro Barberet & Bakery with Roy and Deb
Saturday Evening, July 11 This meal was our gift to Roy and Deb for his summer birthday – and was the first time Cerwin and I were inside a restaurant since COVID-19 restrictions began in March. Roy loves to try new places – which means none of us were here before. It almost felt like […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
July 19 Sunday School – Teacher – John Minnich Subject – The Wisdom of Jesus – Mark 6:1-6 People were astonished by the wisdom of Jesus. Astonished that He gave people a second chance. Jesus Christ is the personification of God’s wisdom. I like to keep the awesome wisdom of God in front of me […]
A Wonderful All Day Rain
Friday, July 10 Because I am a lover of rain – especially during the summer when crops and flowers are thirsty – I grabbed my umbrella after lunch and went for a walk around our yard. Hosta flower dripping with rain drops. Butternut squash in the field across the road. A large puddle between the […]
Interesting Bird Stuff
Friday, July 10 It was a cloudy, rainy day when I noticed this male Red-bellied Woodpecker on the right feeding the one on the left. The feeding was always done behind the log, so I couldn’t photograph the actual feeding. At first I thought it was a mating tradition, but our daughter Deb thought it […]

National Sugar Cookie Day
Thursday, July 9 Isn’t it amazing what happens to your food cravings when you are listening to the morning news on July 9 and the anchor mentions that this is National Sugar Cookie Day! Then I remembered that I still had sugar cookies in the freezer – from when Diane was here and we went […]
That Was a Good Rain!
Wednesday, July 8 Remember in yesterday’s post I said we only had a small amount of rain on Monday, July 6? Well, we got a fabulous rain two days later. The crops will be liking this and creating a good root system. It wasn’t a good day for relaxing in my patio chair. Hummingbirds seem […]
She Knows Me Well! Rain ~ Yes!
Monday, July 6 Deb gave be a bottle of “Extra Sweet” Tea at our July 4 celebration. She knows me well. Extra Sweet is my style. 🙂 We were pleased to see storm clouds by the evening of July 6. As thunderstorms go, some areas got a lot more rain than we did – but […]
Early Morning Moon
Friday, July 3 This is what I saw at 3:30 am when I walked outside to take in the early morning beauty. Yes, I know 3:30 am is early, but I love mornings and am often sleeping by 9:00 pm. A full moon certainly gets your attention on a clear, warm morning when the sky […]
My Dad – Bruce Heagy Hershey – Would Have Been 100 Years Old Today
My Dad as a preschooler. Daddy as a student at Locust Grove School – a one-room school that is a residence today and right next to our property. He told me that he didn’t enjoy school very much and would have preferred working on his parent’s farm – the Homestead next to us that is […]
Gooseneck Flowers in Our Memory Garden
These are fairly invasive and spread quickly, but work perfectly in our woodlot memory garden. From the Internet: The Gooseneck flower (Lysimachia clethroides) is native to East Asia. Gooseneck loosestrife is a 24-to-30-inch foot tall, fast-spreading, herbaceous perennial in the primrose family. Plants continue flowering as long as the soil stays moist and temperatures do […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
July 12 Sunday School Everyone was in the sanctuary for Sunday school, which was set up for the purpose of giving each of us – especially the children – a feel of having been to Bible School since it had to be cancelled due to the virus. We sang lots of fun and meaningful Bible […]
Backroad Drive
Friday, July 3 I woke up with the need to go somewhere. I think the fact that we cannot go to Belgium this summer is in my subconscious and I was feeling sorry for myself for missing out on a vacation. 🙂 Where could we go on a short road trip? Then I got a […]
Morning Coffee on Our Patio
Thursday, July 2 It was a beautiful morning to have coffee and an egg sandwich on our patio. I took these pictures between 6:35 am and 7:15 am. My broad view toward the south. Our two, very tall shellbark trees. The sky was clear and blue. Blackbirds and robins were out looking for breakfast. Several […]
Bison
We are blessed to live about a mile from a bison farm and recently learned that they have meat for sale. Cerwin stopped in the other day to purchase a pack of sweet bologna and bison burgers. It is a very lean meat and delicious. If you live in the area this is their contact […]
