Saying Goodbye to a Friend – Lunch – Hospital Visit
~~~ Monday, July 1 ~~~ Yesterday we went to West Nottingham Cemetery, Colora, Maryland, to say goodbye to our friend Betty Boyle. The entire service was held at her burial site.

Amish Church
~~~ Sunday, June 23 ~~~ This time Amish church was at a home on our road. As far as I know they are the only Amish family who lives on our one-and-a-half-mile road. I took these pictures very quickly as we were driving to a family picnic. The house is on the corner of two […]
A Relaxing Bluegrass Evening
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 22 ~~~ We saw this event listed in local events on Facebook at Mount Gretna Tabernacle, and since we enjoy bluegrass, it caught our attention.

Day Is Setting in the West and Something to Ponder
I love looking to the west on a warm summer evening. This time I noticed something glittering under the leaves (center), so zoomed in to check on the glitter. Looks like spiderwebs and lots of insets. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

Hudson Botanical Cafe

Orange Roses and Something to Ponder
Our tea roses are prolific this summer. They were a Mother’s Day gift from Jeff – maybe a dozen years ago. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Good Day for Walking
~~~ Monday, June 17 ~~~ These four great grandchildren took advantage of the opportunity to have a sleepover at our house – along with their Grammy. They wanted to walk to the farm. Our first stop was to see the chickens. Can you find the rooster? Renee wanted to get as close as possible. Our […]
Our Pretty Rhododendron and Something to Ponder
It felt like their blooming length was short this year, but the flowers were extremely beautiful. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Bug Critter on Our Window and Something to Ponder
This is pretty much what it looked like. It was on the outside, so I was looking at it from its underside. A different camera setting created a silhouette. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

A Thirsty Chipmunk and Something to Ponder
This cute chipmunk was up early to get some liquid from the dew on our patio chairs. It moved to a lower part of the chair when it noticed me taking pictures. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
