Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Yesterday my sister messaged me with this note, “Are you home if I stop in this afternoon with cookies.” I replied, “YES!!” I knew what we were getting because she, her daughters, and granddaughters make lots of delicious cookies every December. Cookies don’t get any better than this. My first choice is always one of […]
Tuesday, December 2 This was our view at 7:30 am. The frog in our birdbath was barely visible. By 10:30 am there was just a small bump to show that the frog was still there. It is fun to watch the birds fluttering around in the snow. Cerwin thought we had about 2″. North of […]
Tuesday, December 2 They looked so pretty – and frozen.
The other evening as the sun was setting in the west and after I took the pictures I posted yesterday, I noticed two things: the beautiful moon in the sky and a bird’s nest in our dogwood tree on the patio. I did not notice the bird’s nest until all the leaves were gone. I […]
So beautiful!

We kept Nathaniel and Abby’s four oldest children yesterday while their mom took Garth to the doctor for his one-year checkup then did some grocery shopping. We are in the process of gradually eliminating things we are no longer using, so Cerwin put about half a dozen hats on the kitchen table for their choosing. […]

I enjoyed watching this male downy woodpecker on a recent wintry day.
Sunday, November 30 As we were preparing for church this morning, we noticed a few snowflakes coming down through the cold, cloudy sky. The frozen birdbath showed the most evidence of snow. We could also see the snow on our small porch. Our frozen Gerbera Daisy looked cold. By the time we left for church […]
This morning as I was organizing our refrigerator, I thought the possibility for lunch looked like we would be having leftovers. There was chili con carne, which Deb gave us on Thanksgiving Day and chicken corn chowder that I made earlier in the week. We had both for meals on Friday. As I was trying […]
Thursday, November 28 Turkey from the smoker. Oh, yum! You may remember my Thanksgiving flower arrangement from yesterday. This one was also from Lauree. Kristen telling us what to expect for lunch and the variety of foods already on the table. Mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing (filling), peas, and sweet potatoes. Cerwin, Jeff, Josh, Kristen, Jere, […]
The other evening we were surprised by a knock on the door. It was our granddaughter-in-law Lauree who presented us with this beautiful flower arrangement. She said it was from an anonymous person. Lauree designed them – for anyone who wished to order them. We soon learned that this was a gift from our youngest […]

I enjoy seeing more birds these days as the weather gets colder and those who moved south are here for the next few months. During the summer and fall months there are plenty of grains available in the nearby fields and farms so I don’t fill the feeders as frequently Eastern Bluebirds are here most […]
Sunday, November 23 Going by our driveway
Saturday, November 22 (one day before his birthday) He didn’t seem to understand why all the attention was on him. He was fascinated by all the balloons that his Aunt Lydia brought. We enjoyed a delicious supper of roasted vegetables and sausage. Because she was at the end of the table, Lydia took this picture […]
