Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Sunday, November 28 ~~~ Donovan (with a sleeping Bennett), Diana, Gloria, Zach, Cerwin, Chris and Jeff We were celebrating the birthdays of Diana, Gloria, Zach, Chris and Jeff. I needed a new picture of Gloria and Zach for our refrigerator. After Bennett woke up, he must have wondered how he fell asleep in the […]
Because You love each one more than I do, I can bring them to You with great joy, knowing without a doubt that You are working in each life, especially in things that concern me, like health or spiritual carelessness.
As you know, I rarely post anything the same day I take a picture, but I just had to post tonight’s sunset! I keep reading and hearing about how important it to take time to rest and enjoy the beauty around us as we get involved in the busyness of Christmas. When I looked out […]
~~~ Sunday Morning, November 28 ~~~ It looked like there was a sprinkling of sugar over everything. A Junco was looking for a stray black oil sunflower seed. There was a flock of mourning doves in the tree outside our living room window.

It is nice to see a Hairy Woodpecker now and then. We see Downy Woodpeckers almost every day this time of year, but it is a bit rare to see the larger Hairy – even though they look alike.

~~~ Thursday, November 25 ~~~ We woke up to a frosty, cold, beautiful morning – making it feel like a Thanksgiving Day. We talked about the beauty and frost as we went to Thanksgiving Day service at church. Our Thanksgiving Day service is a highlight of our church’s year because it’s a morning when our […]
~~~ Wednesday, November 23 ~~~ One of the first things I usually do when we arrive at Sam Rittenhouse’s house is to see what is going on in his orchard and yard. Our purpose for going was for Cerwin to help Sam with the small propane heater he uses to keep his greenhouse warm during […]
~~~ Tuesday Evening, November 23 ~~~ We had a great evening catching up on each other’s lives. When it was getting close to closing time we asked a restaurant worker, “At what point will we realize that it is time for us to leave?” She said, “When I hand you the sweeper and ask you […]
~~~ Tuesday, November 23 ~~~ I was outside taking a picture of the morning moon when I heard the clip clop of horse’s hooves and thought – this must be the day of the Amish wedding. (Remember yesterday’s post when I thought there might be a wedding in the neighborhood because the Amish church wagon […]
~~~ Monday, November 22 ~~~ When I saw an Amish church wagon go by our house early Monday morning, I figured there will be another wedding later this week or an Amish family in the neighborhood will be hosting their church service on Sunday. The wagon holds benches and other items (song books) that are […]
~~~ Saturday Morning, November 20 ~~~ We were up early to be at Yoder’s Restaurant by 7:15 – for the 7:30 prayer breakfast. The morning sky was beautiful. One thing I enjoy about late fall and winter is leafless tree silhouettes. The sun was low and in our faces – making it difficult to drive. […]
~~~ Friday Morning, November 19 ~~~ I woke up early – forgetting that there was an eclipse. As soon as I opened Facebook, I saw a few comments about it, quickly grabbed my camera and went outside. Because of my camera setting, my first two shots (taken just after 4:30 am) did not show the […]
~~~ Thursday Afternoon, November 18 ~~~ Cerwin is appreciating the nut picker upper we purchased last year. We have a few acorns, but mostly shellbark and hickory nuts. He said it’s much better than raking them – and putting them into a wheelbarrow.
