Play Days with Great Grandpa and Grandma
The early part of my birthday week has been filled with great grandchildren – which fills my heart. First, Nate and Abby’s girls were here for the day on Monday while their mom caught up on some rest and work at home. I forgot to take pictures, so will use these from several weeks ago. […]

The Birds Were Busy
Photos taken on Sunday, February 2 – between 12:35 pm and 12:53 pm (that is 18 minutes). I liked the visual of this Northern Flicker clinging to the suet feeder. A squirrel “bird” looking for food. The feeders were busy because of the changing weather. Birds just seem to know when a weather front is […]
My Secret Sister Saga
Photos taken Sunday, February 3 I discovered this in our church mailbox yesterday, along with a note wishing me a happy birthday – which is coming up at the end of this week. The fruit spread made a great addition to our lunch of potato soup (which I made on Saturday). The best description of […]
Amish Church in Our Neighborhood Today
Sunday, February 2 Cerwin noticed a few Amish buggies about 7:15 am and said, “I believe the Amish are having church at one of our neighbors today.” I captured this picture about 7:22 am. You can see by the horse’s breath that it was a cold morning. The low here was 17 degrees. They all […]

Photos taken Thursday, January 30 I took these pictures during a week of windy days, so they had to be satisfied with suet. Eastern Bluebirds are so pretty and fun to watch.

High Family Meal
Sunday Evening, January 26 at BIC Warehouse near Manheim. This includes Cerwin’s Pennsylvania siblings and some of their family members. We always miss the out-of-state family (Bob & Doris Stauffer’s children, grandchildren, and great grandchild) at these meals. We had a fairly small group this year, but that didn’t keep us from enjoying the delicious […]
A Snowy Sunset
Photos taken Wednesday evening, January 22 The sunset got prettier as I walked towards the road. As I got closer, then zoomed in with my camera, it looked like fire in the sky.

A Shout Out to This Faithful Worker
Good’s Disposal, you have a good man on our road this morning. Just as he went to pick up the red box of recyclables, a strong wind blew several pieces of cardboard away. He picked up each piece, even the one that went way out into the field.
