Sunday, April 10 There was still a bit of snow among our flower beds when we woke up on Sunday morning. Our tulips have been through a lot of stress this spring – snow, hail, and more snow. A day or two earlier we decided to visit our friends Sam and Alice after church, because […]
Saturday Evening, April 9 We arrived at Dover Fire Hall, Dover, PA. early – 3 PM – to set up the TFC display, distribute programs, and donation envelopes on the tables. By 5 PM the cooks were ready and this is what I got when I walked into the kitchen with my camera. I forgot […]
I love sharing my life with you and participating in what you have allowed God to do with your life. You are patient, kind, hardworking, and fun. A real man of God. I think of you every time I read Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in […]
The weatherman said it may snow – and snow it did! I was surprised by hail the day before, now we were getting a real April snowstorm. By the time it stopped snowing, we had four inches of snow. This is about the time I noticed that these two were courting. It seems like there […]
Friday April 8 6:00 AM This is what I saw when I looked out our kitchen window about a week and a half ago, so I wanted to investigate the sunrise. It was quite overcast, but the sun was momentarily shining through a break in the clouds. 7:00 AM I enjoyed watching a couple of brown-headed cow […]
Pictures from a rainy day – almost two weeks ago – Thursday, April 7
Thursday, April 7 Remember in my previous post that I was concerned about our tulips because of freezing temperatures – the next day it rained and the tulips looked beautiful. I love a rainy day. I’m not the only one who loves a rainy day. The robins were having a great time looking for worms. […]
After having a beautiful day today, it is difficult to remember the very cold mornings of Tuesday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 6 when there was ice in the birdbath. I wondered if our tulips would survive the freezing temperatures. The suet was even frozen – making it more difficult for the birds. They were […]
Saturday morning and afternoon, April 2 This was one of the trees we had taken down late last year. Jesse’s job was to stack the logs. Ian throwing the logs to Jesse Jared brought logs for Jere for the splitter. Josh helped after the first load was delivered to their house. I expect he was working […]
Saturday Evening, April 2 Checking out the menu at General Sutter Inn in Lititz for Diane’s January 1st birthday. Deb looks like she is checking out the ceiling. 🙂 It took awhile for us to find a date that suited everyone – when Diane was visiting from Maine – so we were three months late. We had so […]
Friday evening, April 1 – Yoder’s Restaurant, New Holland, PA. Cerwin and I look forward to this banquet each spring – to spend an evening with friends and to hear about Living Hope Native Ministries. We shared our table with Gary and Orpha Stevens, Ray and Eva Nolt, and Dale and Lois Wolgemuth. The audience is made […]
Even the sunset had a bit of yellow in it.
Friday Afternoon, April 1 This diner is a good place to meet Deb since she and Roy live an hour away from us. It is a half-hour drive for both of us. Diane ordered something that had a side she didn’t want. She exchanged it for this salad – with hot bacon dressing. We all took samples. […]
Friday, April 1 Anthony loves doing anything with sticks, so when Cerwin said that he was going to work in the yard, I got my large wagon. He also put some small logs into Jere’s trailer – from a downed tree. Then he went back to his wagon. When Cerwin arrived with his wheelbarrow, Anthony offered […]
Friday, April 1 Since Diane wanted to go to a local discount grocery store before going back to Maine, we asked if she would like to go to Zig’s Bakery for breakfast. She liked that suggestion for two reasons: she had never been there, and one of her best – from childhood – friends works there. […]
Thursday, March 31 Oh what fun to have our oldest daughter Diane here for a few days and then for her to have their grandson, Anthony here, for a day and night. Diane didn’t have to ask me twice if I wanted to go shopping with them. 🙂 The next few pictures are from my […]
