Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Thanksgiving Morning We’ve had an early snowstorm, now it’s frigid outside. I think the end-of-season leaves are frozen in the shape in which they have fallen. The birds are busy cleaning up the seeds and suet – maybe eating helps them stay warm. How do birds stay warm when I am freezing cold within seconds […]
Friday, November 16 Cerwin was out in the cold in the early morning to open the driveway. Bringing the gas can along with him after opening the neighbor’s driveway. School was two hours late, so he was glad to have this job finished before taking the boys to their bus stop. Jere and Kristen’s family […]
Thursday, November 15 We saw the first signs of snow about 10:30 am. I tried to get some of the fine snowflakes, but they were too scattered to show up in the early pictures. The flakes slowly gathered on the leaves. Everything looked quite different one hour later. The boys were supposed to get out […]
Sunday Morning, February 18 It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I knew that I had to take pictures if I wanted pictures of snow, as it was going to be a warm day. A tattered leaf blew across the snow while I was outside. Bird feeders are full of snow Azalea bush covered with […]
Wednesday, February 7 It was the kind of day that closed area schools. Snow plows were busy scraping ice from the roads.
Sunday, February 4 Some scenes from Sunday afternoon. It was a good day to be inside – or outside if you like being in snow.
Thursday, January 18 As I watched the female Red-bellied Woodpecker on this cold, wintry morning, I thought, “This would be a good day to make a pot of tomato soup.” I had some tomatoes left over from the High family lunch and boiled them so I could easily remove the skin. Then I went to […]
Wednesday, January 17 These pictures follow last nights shots of the nighttime snow. This is what it looked like in the morning. The township snowplows went by several times during the day. I love a snowy day – when I can stay at home.
Tuesday night, January 16 I opened the door before going to bed and was surprised by the large snowflakes. It is breathtaking to be outside at nighttime when it is snowing large flakes.
Tuesday, January 9 The birds have been daily working on the suet ring. They also continue to eliminate other suet feeders. As I watched the birds, I couldn’t help but notice the glittering snow and ice in our yard and beyond. Patio Porch Steps Trees. You can barely see them in this photo, but there […]
Thursday, December 14 I love mornings when it has snowed during the night and I can see the tracks and designs in the snow. Lydia’s foot prints to her car. She is leaving for work at 4:15 am these days. Her car tracks. Looks like we had some tiny visitors. I haven’t seen a wren […]
Sunday, December 10 It was a beautiful, cold Sunday.
Saturday Evening, December 9 The next picture will show you who he was following. I do love being at our kitchen windows at times. 🙂
Saturday, December 9 By evening we had several inches on the ground. It was good to see snow again.
Friday, March 17 The birds were glad for the suet since there was still a lot of snow on the ground. Female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker It’s been fun seeing them this winter. I don’t remember seeing them so much on previous winters. The mourning doves are glad for the sunflower seeds I throw on the ground. […]
Tuesday, March 14 This was our view about daylight on Tuesday morning. Our day was made up of snow and ice and wind. The by mid-afternoon the icicles were dripping. During the late afternoon two of the man cave guys decided to open our driveway. After we noticed what they were doing, Cerwin got the […]
Monday, March 13 Dark clouds came in to cover up the pretty sunset on Monday evening. By Tuesday morning there was a few inches of snow. Snow plows tried to stay ahead of the impending snow storm. By this time only the brave birds were out eating. I think this poor robin was confused by the white […]
This is what our first crocus looked like after a light snow on Friday morning, March 10. The snow left us with a beautiful landscape. (This was the small snowfall – before the big snowfall a few days later.) The geese are still in the field looking for food. March 11 & 12 were filled with […]
Friday, March 3 This is what it looked like at our place one week ago – and again today. I think we had a bit more snow today. The birds are always busy on snowy days. Many of our days have been so warm that spring flowers are coming up. Within minutes the sun came […]
Monday, February 13 With temperatures in the 70s today, it is difficult to believe that a week-and-a-half ago we had a cold, windy day. There was ice in the birdbath… …and our Bible verse flag was flapping in the wind. In some areas of the patio there were still patches of snow. The Northern Mockingbird found […]
Thursday, February 9 Day six of my birthday week I was glad that I didn’t have to go anywhere on this day. We have had so little snow this year that I treasure every snowflake we get. 🙂 A starling in its winter feathers. After enjoying the snow and birds, I opened the goodie bags […]
Monday, January 30 It makes me sad that we have to take down our pretty Ash tree (right), but it barely had leaves last summer, and Amos said there was nothing he could do for it. So he came on Monday morning to put it out of it’s misery. First he took down the small […]
Saturday morning, January 28 Yesterday we woke up to a light dusting of snow. I love snow, and since we are at the end of January without any snowstorms, I have to settle for flurries. 🙂 This was about all that happened. By evening most of the snow was gone from the ground.
Wednesday, January 11 The ice was beautiful on Wednesday morning, so I went outside – barefooted and still in my housecoat to get a few pictures from the porch. Before I knew it I slid off the porch and unto the patio. 🙂 …and I thought the porch was just wet. It wasn’t easy to get on my […]
Saturday, December 17 This is what our RAV4 hood looked like from my spot in the passenger seat when we left Souderton – after the prayer breakfast. Traveling home It was good to be home – after almost two hours on the road – and look at the wintry scene from inside our warm house. […]
Saturday, December 10 The sunrise reflected in our icy bird bath.
Saturday, November 19 I had fourteen end-of-summer tomatoes that needed to be cooked into something. I decided that the green ones were going to rot before they ripened, so I cooked them as well. First I boiled them for a minute – to remove the skins. Then I cut them into pieces and stewed them until they […]
Saturday, January 23 –Â 5:45Â AM until 11:00 AM The first thing I did when I got up was turn on the patio light to see if it was snowing. This one had the makings of a real blizzard – and I love blizzards. By daylight, the birds were busy looking for food. I put a tray […]
Wednesday, January 13 This was our first snow of 2016 – before the big snow. I love a cold, snowy, winter morning.
Saturday, January 23 I took lots of pictures, and will eventually post them, but I thought you may enjoy seeing these A Mourning Dove on the ledge outside our dining area window. A snow drift hanging over our house roof. Our grandson Jesse trying to walk in two feet of snow. It is still snowing […]
