~~~ Monday Afternoon, December 5 ~~~ Diane took us to Penn Cinema to see I Heard the Bells which was produced by Sight & Sound Films. It was based on the song I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I will never listen to that song in the same way […]
~~~ Sunday, December 4 ~~~ We had a special Christmas with more than 30 of our family members here and especially enjoyed watching these three great grandchildren who were together for the first time. Emmy (left – born May 16) and Stetson (right – born April 29) were here for our summer gathering in early […]
~~~ Saturday, December 3 10:00 am ~~~ There is quite a story behind this wedding. Jonathan is our nephew – the second son of Cerwin’s sister Doris and her husband Bob. It was about this time two years ago that we learned that Jon’s wife Jen had pancreatic cancer and would probably have only a […]
~~~ Friday, December 2 ~~~ I’ll start with the birds We (Cerwin, Diane, Heze and I) celebrated Lydia’s birthday – which was on December 2 and Kayla’s which was December 3. Lydia and Kayla – sisters-in-law. Kayla, Stetson and Heze Our favorite Stetson is quite the cutie. Add to the delights and fun of our […]
~~~ Thursday, December 1 ~~~ Our day began with a beautiful sunrise at 6:42 am. I already showed you the next part of our day when Diane and I took Jazzy along for groceries (yesterday’s post). By the time we got home from grocery shopping, Hezekiah, Kayla and Stetson had arrived from Tennessee. Diane was […]
~~~ Thursday, December 1 ~~~ Our daughter Diane arrived (from Maine) the day before to help with our family’s Christmas celebration. She spent the morning at Nate and Abby’s to be with their three children (soon four) so Abby would have time for appointments and shopping. When Jasmine heard that Grammy was going shopping with […]
~~~ Friday, November 30 ~~~ I was surprised that the birds were so busy on a cold rainy day. Focusing on the windowpane instead of the birds. I’m glad birds like cold rainy days.
~~~ Tuesday, November 29 12:37 pm to 4:10 pm ~~~ This was about the time I heard the machinery that was harvesting the corn. By the end of the day we had a view of all the homestead buildings.
The other night I went outside to say goodnight to the world before going to bed. This is what I saw. I went back inside for my camera so I could capture this beauty. A waxing crescent with a bit of haze. I changed my camera settings to see which photo I liked best. I […]
Late fall and winter days are often a variety of contrasts in colors – sometimes it seems to be cold with only black and whites – other times there are beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The other day, following the funeral for Cerwin’s cousin Ruth, we continued on to Roy and Deb’s house to deliver a […]

~~~ Friday Night, November 25 ~~~ When I prepared this for posting I noticed a helicopter on the right. It was probably either Life Lion from Hershey Medical or one from Indiantown Gap doing a night flight. At first I thought it was an airplane, but when I zoomed in, I noticed the shape of […]

~~~ Friday, November 25 ~~~ We have been having beautiful sunsets lately – and this is one of them.
~~~ Saturday, November 19 ~~~ Apparently these three agreed to share one suet. It’s unusual to have so many birds agree to share one suet. 🙂
~~~ Thursday, November 24 ~~~ We were blessed to be part of our congregation’s Thanksgiving Day service where 33 people gave testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness to them in 2022. Microphones are placed on stands at two parts of the sanctuary to make it easy for anyone to give a testimony. THere was also […]
