The other day I was working on our patio flowerbed – pulling weeds, cutting back our Lily of the Valley and trimming the miniature rose bush – in preparation for colder weather and noticed this rose. It was so pretty that I brought it indoors so I could see it closeup for a few days. […]
~~~ Going Home from Blackworth Restaurant Wednesday, September 14 7:02 PM ~~~ Don’t miss the dog. Facing west about the same time I took the previous photo. Evening is a beautiful time when you live in the country.
~~~ Wednesday Evening, September 14 5 PM ~~~ This is a fairly new restaurant in Lititz – in the old Wilbur Chocolate Factory. I was glad Deb chose this because we had never been there. The live fire grill was across the room from us. I was testing the lighting because of the window in […]
~~~ Sunday, September 11 ~~~ There were a variety of flower arrangements on the “Share the Harvest” table at church this week. This is the one that we have been enjoying.
~~~ 6:42 AM ~~~ The grass is soft and green since last week’s rain – instead of dry and a bit crunchy The mornings are still warm, but slightly cooler with a hint of fall in the air. There is a bit of fog some mornings which highlights the gold on the corn tassels. Don’t […]
I will praise you each day and always honor your name. Psalm 145:2 CEV
~~~ Friday, September 9 2:48 PM ~~~ We saw a heron at the farm pond earlier in the day, so stopped to see if it was still there when we came home. At first, we thought it was gone then there it was right in front of us – instead of in back of the […]
~~~ Friday Afternoon, September 9 ~~~ It was a beautiful afternoon as we traveled home from the visitation for a friend’s father who had died several days earlier. We didn’t think much about it when we saw an old car heading toward us as we approached a village near our house. Then we saw another, […]
This was all I could see of the sunset the other evening when I went to the kitchen window – just before going to bed.
Though I officially retired from Transport for Christ/TFC Global earlier this year, I immediately went into a busy schedule as I delved into the history of our church’s congregation for the celebration on August 20 & 21. Now that the celebration is over, I can focus on things I planned to do in retirement – […]
~~~ Monday, September 5 3:52 PM ~~~ After a summer of very little rain in our area, we looked to these late afternoon, gray skies with hope. Weather forecasts promised us a significant amount of water, but we had heard that before – then only received a sprinkling or maybe at best a quarter of […]
~~~ Sunday, September 4 ~~~ After two Sundays of being occupied with our congregation’s 250th anniversary, I had time to go to the fellowship hall this past week to see what was on the “Share the Harvest” table. When I saw these pretty, deep red cockscomb flowers, I didn’t hesitate in taking one of the […]
~~~ Saturday, September 3 2:00 PM ~~~ It has been a long time since we attended a gospel concert and even longer since we were at American Music Theatre near Lancaster. I didn’t catch the name of the man who opened the afternoon with fabulous instrumentals. When a promoter (who knows us from TFC Truck […]
We noticed that Jacob put a fence around his alfalfa field in recent weeks, so figured his goats were going to be grazing near our property. They are usually closer to the barn and we only see them when we drive by their place. It’s not an easy view from our house, but if we […]
~~~ Saturday, September 3 ~~~ I heard the equipment about 11:24 AM on Saturday morning. From our kitchen window I took this picture just before we left (12:30 PM) for the afternoon. They were still working when we got home at 6:30 pm. We knew there were at least 3 deer who made this cornfield […]
~~~ Friday, September 2 ~~~ Everyone needs a brother-in-law and sister like we have – especially after you and they retire. 🙂 I was nine and a half years old when my sister, Nancy, was born. That seems like a wide age gap. By the time she was ten I was married. By the time […]
