A New Day is Dawning
Thursday Morning, March 5 Isn’t is amazing that day after day the sun rises on a new day – no matter what is going on in the world and in our world. A sign of God’s faithfulness.

Red-bellied Woodpeckers

Keepin’ Up With Fieldwork
Monday, March 2 I heard machinery outside in the field and checked to see what was happening. Whatever they were spraying, it was prepping the fields for the spring and summer crops. Love our country life.
Crows
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 […]
