Monday, March 23 Starling Sparrow and Downy Raindrops on branches A wet bluebird House Sparrow Sorry for the butt shot. 🙂 Female Cardinal Mourning Dove Goldfinch Junco This dove just sat in the driveway enjoying the rain. I love a rainy day.
March 30 Our church had planned an eight-day-long series of revival services. Instead we are enjoying modified services via Zoom. Opening thoughts by Jon Cassel. “With this new way of life we have new opportunities and new concerns.” Children’s Story – Mark Bucher – Evangelist from Maine. This maple syrup bucket – holds about 2 […]
Sunday, March 22 This was the first Sunday that we did not have worship in our church building, but enjoyed it by sound only – computer or phone due to the virus. Following lunch, Cerwin planned to take a large box of TFC Global’s Highway News to a friend who has access to businesses where […]
Saturday, March 21 Cerwin brought these pretty carnations home from the grocery store – which helped brighten our kitchen during these early spring days – days when it is still cold and dreary outside. This carnation had broken from its stem, so it made a pretty display in a bud vase on the window sill. […]
Sunday, March 29 – via Zoom Video Sunday School I listened and watched on my laptop. Cerwin watched my laptop while listening through his cell phone’s Bluetooth. Opening Songs: Beautiful recorded music Opening Comments: Matt Patches (Sunday School Superintendent) We are all getting used to change. Today is our first Sunday using Zoom. The only […]
Jere and Kristen have the benefit and sometimes the non-benefit of being our children who live the closest to us. Because of that, we are often the beneficiaries of Kristen’s love for cooking and baking. Below are just a few things she and Jere brought us recently. I think everything was made from her sourdough […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
I saw this breakfast suggestion, I think on Facebook, the other week and decided to try it. I took this photo before I flipped the eggs – because it looked nicer this way. 🙂 I fried sweet potato pieces with chopped onion and green pepper – added salt and pepper to taste – then made […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Buds are filled with the hope of springtime and flowers and leaves. From the Internet: During the winter the tree does not have any leaves so it can not make its own energy. At the end of summer, the last new leaves the tree makes will become the buds that protect the tree all […]
I have been seeing lots of stories and jokes on how this time of “house confinement” is a great time for getting jobs finished. Jobs we have been putting off because we “think” we don’t have time. Now many of us have time. Time to do those things we have been putting off. No good […]
I am posting pictures of the rain drops of March 19 while enjoying a pretty, sunny day today – March 27. I love rainy days when I can find raindrops on branches and flowers.
Because were are staying home these days, I am trying to be creative with things around here and learning what I can about ordinary things. I hope you enjoy my study of the color yellow – and the yellow I found in our yard. I checked to see if the word yellow is in the […]
Sunday, March 15 This was just the beginning of the coronavirus stay-at-home order and I was already feeling the need to get outside. 🙂 I think it was just in my head. My view to the southeast as I began my two-mile walk around the block. Approaching the Homestead. The dairy barn – just after […]
Sunday, March 22 Sunday School (via phone & computer) Cerwin listened on his cell phone – to have the benefit of Bluetooth through his hearing aids. I listened on the computer to free up phone lines for those without a computer. The opening songs were beautiful, recorded music – songs that our congregation is used […]
Sunday, March 15 was a beautiful day to photograph the crocuses in our flowerbeds. All facts and information are from the Internet. Purple is similar to violet, but unlike violet, which is a spectral color with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light, purple is a secondary color made by combining red and […]
When I looked out the window late Saturday afternoon, March 14, I did a double-take, because I saw people riding mules or work horses. At first I thought they were Amish riders, but I think these people may have been riding Amish animals. I showed the pictures to Cerwin. He thinks the back one is […]
Saturday, March 14 We were planning for the annual birthday party at our friends Mark and Marcy’s house – on Sunday, March 15. At the time, we didn’t have to stay home because of the virus, but Marcy messaged me on Saturday morning to say she had a serious case of bronchitis and would have […]
