~~~ 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.
Common Grackles have intense eyes. He doesn’t look very happy. I am going to call this one a he because its tail is pretty long. Females have shorter tails. Sometimes I wonder what is behind those eyes. What are they thinking?
~~~ November 18 ~~~ I love the pastel colors of a foggy morning. Our two hickory trees tower over the small red maple. I knew the fog would soon be lifting when I looked straight up to a blue sky. I was outside when I heard the clip clop of horse’s hooves. I wasn’t surprised, […]
It’s time for Cerwin to put his trusty redneck leaf catcher to work. I post this every year because I am so proud of his creativity in building it on an old trailer, then figuring out the hose combination. If I was responsible for picking up leaves, I would have to hire someone – or […]
~~~ Sunday, November 14 ~~~ I think my great great grandpa Hershey and our family members who lived on the homestead after him (where I grew up) would enjoy watching the Amish buggies traveling over the roads of our valley as much as I do. We live deep in the country and most Amish in […]
~~~ Saturday, November 13 ~~~ Notice the Hickory Nuts?
~~~ November 12 ~~~ It was a good morning to stay on the La-Z-Boy and drink coffee. The rain and wind were bringing down soggy, wet leaves. The yard and fields were soggy too. There were a few leaves on our Sunset Maple a day or two earlier, but on this day the tree is […]
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ We had a lot of stops today, so planned our day accordingly. First we stopped at Nate and Abby’s to return an eraser to Anthony that he left at our place the week before – when he was doing school work. Then I took an Amazon return to a local […]

~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ As I walked outside to get a few sunset pictures, I noticed the pretty moon. Compared to world news, I treasure quiet, beautiful sunsets. God keeps on creating beauty – even if we don’t take time to notice.
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ It was a windy day, so I tried to capture falling leaves, but that was easier said than done. 🙂 Cerwin had mowed the yard the day before – using his “red neck” leaf catcher – so the law was still fairly green, without much of a leaf cover. During […]
~~~ Saturday, November 6 ~~~ We were up early to be at a neighbor’s house by 4:45 AM – to take him to a 2-hour kidney dialysis appointment. It is good to be retired and have time to do something like this. After dropping him off at the health center, we went to a nearby […]
~~~ Thursday, November 4 ~~~ Another frosty morning outside our windows. Before the sun melted the frost, I noticed several Amish buggies and as I thought, “That is unusual for a Thursday morning,” I thought, “That must mean there is a wedding in the neighborhood. They are usually held on a Tuesday or Thursday in […]
~~~ Tuesday, November 9 ~~~
