Our House on a Snowy Day and Something to Ponder
I took this picture on January 3. It looks similar to this today, except the driveway is snow-covered right now. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Snowy Day in Lancaster County
~~~ Monday, January 6 ~~~ We didn’t get as much snow as some other areas. Cerwin thought we got about 2 inches. The snowplow person faithfully kept our road open and free of slippery snow and ice. It seemed like a good day to make tomato soup. We had some for lunch, I put a […]
Sharing Suet and Something to Ponder

Timeline of Our Birdbath Frog

Our New Year’s Day
When you live in Lancaster County and have a German ancestry, Pork and Sauerkraut are the words and often the food of the day. We rarely eat pork and sauerkraut but often celebrate New Years Day by going to a local restaurant to have it for lunch. At least I do, Cerwin doesn’t think of […]

A Dusting of Snow
It was beautiful to wake up to a pretty dusting of snow a few days ago. Following daylight, we could see the snow that lightly covered the countryside around us. I am still waiting for a “real” snow – one that is a few inches deep and creates the need for a snowplow. 🙂 However, […]
No Day Off for Farm Related Workers
I woke up early on Christmas Eve morning and wondered why I was hearing farm vehicles in the field next to our yard. It was a cold morning and great for hauling manure.
Beautiful End of Year Sunset and Something to Ponder
This is what I saw from the house – before going outside to get the next two photos. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Christmas Day Worship and Moravian Sugar Cake at White Oak Church
~~~ Wednesday, December 25 ~~~ Poinsettias on our sanctuary window sills. Worship included songs, prayer, and a message by Dustin Martin. He focused on the wise men, then asked for testimonies from the audience of a gift we think of as our best or most impactful gift. There were several who shared – mostly about […]
Christmas Eve – Plan D
~~~ Tuesday Evening, December 24 ~~~ Plan A was when Jere and Kristen invited us to their usual Christmas Eve party at Penn Cinema – watching an animated or good movie in the afternoon – then back to their house for food. Plan B was to go to their house because of their children’s schedules. […]
