Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
I had fun watching a group of crows the other day. A group of crows is called a “murder.” They take big steps and walk with purpose – in a kind of waddle. Fact about crows from the internet: The female lays four to five eggs and incubates them for 18 days. At four weeks, […]

Saturday Evening, February 22 One of the benefits of being at the Sportsman’s Dinner was that Cerwin won one of the door prizes – a Domino’s medium pizza. Since we were in Ephrata – with a Domino’s located on our way home – we decided to cash in our coupon that night and make it […]

Sunbathing in Winter I can see signs that they are beginning to transition to their spring and summer yellow coloring. I always like to learn new things about birds. From the Internet: This bird is known to be the only member of the finch family that sheds off all its feathers twice in a single […]
Wednesday, February 19 I was having a great day – got a lot of work done and even visited with a friend. Then, just before supper I began feeling dizzy. There were no other symptoms. No headaches. No upset stomach. I walked carefully but often had to hold onto something to stay steady. I was […]

I watched as a flock of European Starlings came through our yard the other day and emptied our feeders. From the Internet: Starlings are relatives of the mynah birds, and like them they have impressive vocal abilities and a gift for mimicry. They can warble, whistle, chatter, make smooth liquid sounds, harsh trills and rattles, […]

February 11, 1990 to February 11, 2020 This was us thirty years ago. As we listened to a sermon from John 12 this past Sunday, I came upon a note that took me back to another day in church – thirty years ago. We love you. Have a great day. Love Jere & Kristen – […]
