Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Sunday, June 20 ~~~ Early morning on Father’s Day. I love hazy, pastel mornings. Looking toward the farm. Earlier in the week Jere and Kristen asked if we were doing anything for Father’s Day lunch. We didn’t have plans and were delighted to enjoy a meal with their family. We went right after church, […]
I watched a female downy as she ignored a pesty, domineering wren – and kept on eating suet. Finally the angry wren attacked the downy by biting her. Somedays I think the wren is convinced that it owns the birdfeeders and their contents. 🙂 Finally the downy gave up and left until the wren was […]
~~~ Saturday, June 19 ~~~ Late in the week I noticed that my friend Nancy announced on Facebook that there was a neighborhood yard/garage sale – mentioning that she had pies for sale. We love pies (and I’ve heard that she makes good ones), I ordered a mixed berry. When we were there, we also […]
Oh, the beauty of early summer.
~~~ Thursday Afternoon, June 17 ~~~ She knew the TFC Global office staff would be there, but there were a few surprises! That is Chris and Clair Leaman (son and father) hiding on the left. Ron Fraser, TFC Global President and CEO is on the right. Clair was working in the TFC office at the […]
~~~ Tuesday, June 15 ~~~ Cerwin decided it was time to give the patio dogwood tree a trim. I know when he tells me that he is going to trim a tree – it will look quite different when he is finished. 🙂 Now I can see the bird feeders again.
We love you! Great Grandpa and Great Grandma High
~~~ Most of these pictures were taken during the past three months. ~~~ They are some of the prettiest birds that come to our feeders during the summer. I went online to find some fun facts about goldfinches. They are found across most of North America, though they avoid thick forests. Only breeding males are […]
~~~ Monday Morning, June 14 – 4:56 am ~~~ I love when I get up early and one of our neighborhood skunks is eating dogfood or old birdseed or suet. If I want these critters to eat old birdseed or suet, I put it in a ground feeder, hoping they will eat that and not […]
~~~ Sunday, June 13 ~~~ After turning Truck Rally responsibilities over to TFC Global’s Headquarter’s Office earlier this year, the committee decided we needed a farewell picnic – just to see each other one more time and be with those who ever served on the Rally committee or were key volunteers during the years. Since […]
~~~ Wednesday, June 9 ~~~ There was a bit of a saga to this mailing, one of the largest I have ever done in total numbers – like more than 3,400. Most of the bulk mailings I do for TFC Global are between 200 and 600, sometimes 1,000 or more. I received the mailing from […]
We were just ready to watch the local news at 6:00 AM when there was a thud/boom. I momentarily thought a bird hit the window, but instantaneously our electric went off. I texted PPL (our electric company) to report it and messaged the neighbors on either side of us. Karen (to our south) said she […]

~~~ Monday Morning, June 7 ~~~ Mark and Diane had one more day here – following Cerwin’s birthday party. After Diane met a friend here for breakfast, she said, “Mark would love the avocado toast.” It was then we decided that this location would be a good place for his 2021 birthday celebration. Diane and […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 5 ~~~ I am posting the following note from our daughter-in-law Kristen’s Facebook page to explain why I took these pictures. This is not my favorite way to take pictures – when someone asks me to do a photoshoot – because I am afraid they won’t be good enough. I prefer […]
~~~ Sunday Evening, June 6 ~~~ Back: Chris, Mark, Cerwin, Kristen, Roy. Front: Jeff, Diane, me, Jere, Deb. One of the first things I wanted was a picture of us with each of our children (front row) and in-loves. This is the first time in a while that all eight were in the same place […]
