Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Sunday, June 16 Noon ~~~ As our family has grown, I enjoy our yearly picnic, because we are able to use our yard for extra space. Preparation for this picnic began several weeks ago when we began getting our yard ready for lots of guests. Preparation became more intense during the last week. One […]
Our woodland sage has been adding a pretty pink/purple color to one of our flowerbeds. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
~~~ Wednesday, June 12 ~~~ Shortly after finishing our meal of pizza, stromboli, chicken wings, and cheesesteaks – from Two Cousins – we sang Happy Birthday to Dustan who would celebrate his 30th birthday the next day. You will notice that Diane was also here. She arrived from Maine just a short time before the […]

First, the field must be prepared. The planting began a few hours later. This is the field next to our house. Now we wait for the corn to grow. Oh, wait! It has started to grow! The above photos were all taken on June 4 – Today June 15 (11 days later) – this is […]
They frequent our feeders and the ground area around them. I enjoy their morning and evening cooing. I think the one above is a female because her head is evenly brown. My bird book tells me the males have a light gray crown on top of their head. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

Our daylilies add a beautiful yellow to our yard after most of the spring flowers and blooming trees have moved on to all green foliage. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
But, first, Cerwin asked our son Jere if he could come the evening before and remove some low branches of other trees that are in the way when he mows yard. He did this the day before, because All Season Tree and Bucket Services, Lititz, can grind them up in their large machinery. Wednesday, June […]

My flower identification Ap tells me these are a Johnny Jump-up Violet or Wild Pansy. No matter their name, they are a pretty addition to one of our potted patio flowers this summer. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
~~~ Saturday, June 8 ~~~ We are just back at the house after seeing the movie Sight at Penn Cinema in Lititz. We had Theatre 9 to ourselves. It should have been filled. After watching this movie, it feels like my life has been very shallow. From the Internet: Sight is a 2024 American biographical […]
~~~ Saturday, June 1 ~~~ I remember the day (like yesterday) in 1967 when I looked out our kitchen window into a yard not yet seeded, and thought, “Someday there will be children playing in that yard.” At the time we had two children, and I couldn’t know that there would be two more, plus […]

I love seeing these pretty pink and white flowers in the woodsy part of our yard. They were especially pretty this year. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
