Friday Evening, July 31 His mom had fun surprising him when he arrived at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Myerstown. She timed her drive (from Maine) perfectly. Well, she did have some extra time to do some grocery shopping to make it work out. He said to her a few times, “I can’t believe you […]

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.

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?

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.

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 – […]
