A Delightful Sister Day
~~~ Tuesday, November 15 ~~~ Nancy messaged me a day earlier, saying she was in the mood for a sister day. 🙂 Now that is a great message to receive on a Monday morning. She was originally going to stop in for me, but their car ended up in the garage, so I was the […]
A Birthday Party for Nathaniel
~~~ Sunday Evening, November 13 6:00 pm ~~~ Abby our granddaughter and Nate’s wife, wrote this birthday message on the walk that enters their farmhouse. Following a delicious supper – steak on the grill, mac and cheese, green beans, deep fried cauliflower and pickles – Anthony and Abby lit the candles. It looks like there […]
Taking Sam and Inge to see “Life, Death and Two Strips of Bacon”
~~~ Saturday, November 12 ~~~ After leaving the craft show and taking pictures of the covered bridge (two previous posts), we stopped to see Sam Rittenhouse and his new living quarters. He moved from his house in Lansdale to a room at his daughter Debbie and son-in-law Lanny’s house. It’s nice for us, because he […]
Shearer’s Covered Bridge
~~~ Saturday, October 12 ~~~ As we were driving away from the craft show on Saturday, the lighting on the water under the covered bridge caught my attention. This is located just across the driveway from the Farm Show Exhibit Hall where the vendors were located (see previous post). We were early for our next […]
Holliday Market on Adelle
~~~ Saturday, November 12 Manheim Farm Show Exhibit Hall ~~~ It’s always fun to go to the craft shows in this exhibit hall – partly because we know many of the vendors. This was how I convinced Cerwin to go along – food! He was talking to a friend while waiting on his food. This […]

Female House Finch
“Are you taking my picture?” “Is this a better pose?” “Or maybe this is better.”
Harvesting Soybeans
~~~ Thursday, November 10 ~~~ It was about 11:15 in the morning when I noticed the beginning of soybean harvest across the road from our house. The soybeans go into the bin, the plants and other stuff in the field come out the back. I took most of these pictures through windows in our kitchen/dining […]
Morning Sun – Morning Moon
~~~ Thursday Morning, November 10 7:06 am ~~~ I first noticed the morning sun which was changing the sky from dawn to full sunlight and took this picture from a bedroom window. I went outside (still in my housecoat – you can do that when you live in the country) – to enjoy the beautiful […]
Goldfinch
I enjoyed watching this goldfinch for a bit the other day as it posed on a shepherds hook right outside our dining area window. The males are much prettier than this when they become a brilliant yellow by March. Male and female look alike this time of year. They seem to stay here all year […]
Cerwin’s (redneck) Leaf-Picker-Upper
~~~ Tuesday, November 8 2:00 pm ~~~ I love watching Cerwin run this contraption around our yard. It reminds me how creative he is – and it means neither of us have to rake leaves. He built it on a small trailer many years ago – attached a 7″ flex hose to the old leaf […]

Hickory Tree Changes
It has been interesting to watch the changes in our roadside hickory trees as the leaves changed during the past 3 weeks. I took the pictures between 7:30 am and 9 am. Also notice the change in the sky – between sunny, cloudy and foggy. October 18. Peak color. Notice, there are only a few […]
Leaves. Leaves. Leaves Everywhere!
~~~ Tuesday, November 1 ~~~ This is what happens when you live in a woodlot with about 70 trees. Leaves fall and blow everywhere. In bird feeders In the birdbath On the driveway In flowerbeds On plants On the deck chair On the porch On the patio In the yard Leaves. Just one of things […]
Gospel & Bluegrass Music Night
~~~ Saturday Evening, October 29 New Covenant Mennonite Church, New Holland, PA ~~~ This very talented pianist played gospel music for more than an hour – from the time the doors opened at 4:30 pm until the concert began at 6:00 pm. The only time he looked at his sheet on the piano was to […]
