Travel Pictures from the Blustery Day in Mid-February
Saturday, February 13 On our way to go out for supper, we came upon this back-country road where the snow was blowing – making traffic rather slow and at times hazardous. Before long the two-lane road became one lane. When we met traffic coming the other way, several of us pulled in the driveway of an Amish […]
A Wintry, Blustery Day in the Neighborhood
Saturday, February 13 This neighbor man and his dog seemed to enjoy the wind and snow. The wind was blowing the birdseed away so I put a block of suet in the frozen birdbath. This pretty blue jay seemed to appreciate it. Yes, it truly felt like winter in the middle of February.
Photo Memories from Friday, February 12
This was the day the construction crew began repair on my brothers’ barn roof – the part that collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow a few weeks earlier. An Amish man in the area “fertilizing” the field. Valentine roses from Cerwin Stromboli – my valentine gift to Cerwin My photo memories from the middle of […]
An Icicle and Red-bellied Woodpecker
I took these pictures on Thursday, February 11 Both the ice and bird looked pretty in the mid-day sunshine. She was enjoying the suet I have hanging on the dogwood tree. I know it is a she, because part of her head is gray. The males have red heads.
Locals Will Remember This Day ~ Tuesday, February 9
It was a beautiful snow day. Words are not necessary. Enjoy. The snow is gone, but it is good to be reminded of the beauty.
Thanks to the Staff at Landis Homes
Friday, February 26 When we went back to Landis Homes on Friday morning to remove Mother’s belongings, we saw this beautiful memorial – outside her door. Cerwin and his sister, Velda, with Mother’s cartfull of personal items. Elvin removed a few things the day before – the clock and TV belong to his family. ~~~ There are not enough words in the […]
Great American Outdoor Show – Part 2 of 2
Monday, February 8 After the falconry program in the Small Arena, Cerwin joined me for the Archery Show by Chris Brackett Breaking a balloon I’m not sure what he was hitting here, but he shot small balls and Lifesavers. A taxidermist’s display I wanted Cerwin to see the dog competition. This time the show was competition […]
Mother High’s Obituary
At this point, her obituary is only on Buch Funeral Home listing. He suggested that we wait until Monday to make it public so people know it is next weekend and not this weekend. To see it, go to the link below. http://www.buchfuneral.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=795075#/obituaryInfo
Great American Outdoor Show – Part 1 of 2
Monday, February 8 I don’t derive great joy in going to where there are great crowds of people, but Cerwin, Jeff, Jordan, Donovan, Diana, and Gloria were going – and it was my birthday. What I do enjoy is watching activities that are going on in the Large and Small Arenas while the others are visiting […]
My Last Day With Mother High
It doesn’t seem quite right to do a normal post tonight, so I will tell you a bit about my mother-in-law – especially my last day and a half with her. I met her fifty-five years ago when I was 17 and she was 43. That is when I first began dating her oldest son. (This picture of her and Daddy […]
Mother Went Home Today
Mother High went home to be with the Lord this morning at 7:12.
A Beautiful, Ordinary Kind Of Day
Saturday, February 6 I love the quietness and beauty of a mid-winter Saturday. As we went on our daily drive to Landis Homes to see Cerwin’s mother, we noticed an Amish farmer spreading manure. I may be a bit strange, but I enjoy the beauty of naked trees in midwinter. The artist P. Buckley Moss […]

Lessons On God From Ordinary Birds
One of my favorite thoughts on ordinary – or bad days – days when I feel ignored or taken for granted – is that I am never ignored by God. Ordinary sparrows and finches often remind me of God’s love and concern for me. I don’t think I have ever met a person who doesn’t have days […]
