~~~ October 16, 20, 21, 22 ~~~ This is continued from the nighttime photos I posted yesterday. By Saturday morning (16th) we had a view again. 🙂 Corn stubble and cobs after the corn was harvested. A few days later they were chopping the corn stalks to prepare for baling. Preparing the corn fodder for […]
~~~ Friday, October 15 ~~~ This corn had been harvested four days earlier, now it was time for our neighbor across the road to bale and pick up the corn fodder. This will probably be used for bedding for his horses and maybe the goats. This Amish farmer uses a combination of equipment. Notice the […]

~~~ Wednesday, October 13 ~~~ Hickory nut leaves Redbud tree Crape Myrtle Seed Pots Dogwood leaves Lilly of the Valley leaves. The geraniums are looking especially pretty. There are a few azalea flowers. Some of our potted flowers are still pretty but looking a bit ratty. Even though it is end of season for leaves […]
~~~ Tuesday Evening, October 12 ~~~ The corn has been harvested, now the neighbor across the road is chopping the leftover cornstalks and cobs in preparation for corn fodder bales. I love country living and having a window view of the neighboring fields. Corn fodder makes good bedding for cattle. There will be follow up […]
When I tried to spell chrysanthemum, I understood why the name has been reduced to the nickname “mum”. 🙂 I bought this mum last fall so there would some beauty at our front door after the summer flowers in the doorway pot were no longer looking pretty. I was surprised that it survived the winter […]
~~~ Monday, October 11 ~~~ It was easy to hear this equipment about 10 am. Don’t ask me how this works, but the machine picks up the corn stalks, removes the corn from the cob, puts it in a bin and ejects the chopped corn fodder and cob out the back. Just to let you […]
~~~ Saturday, Afternoon October 9 ~~~ We always enjoy attending the yearly birthday party for our great nieces, Peyton and Bailey – granddaughters of Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, and our sister-in-law Pat. Their dad, Jakey, was busy grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived. Their mom, Crystal (center) was setting up the buffet lunch while […]
Cerwin was determined to get a few things finished before winter – paint the two front doors and trim and the support section under our bay window, plus trim the redbud tree. His first job was to sand the wood that needed to be painted. It was beginning to look shabby. He chose a warm […]
~~~ Thursday, October 7 ~~~ This is what we did the evening after getting home from Maine. We go to eat. 🙂 – French Fries and Milkshakes. In this picture Cerwin is putting ketchup on his fries. Our daughter-in-law Kristen was serving milkshakes at the Manheim Brethren in Christ Church stand. Our grandson Jesse was […]

~~~ Wednesday, October 6 ~~~ We left the Myers shortly before 6 am – ready for a 10-hour drive to our house. That includes about an hour for fuel and meal stops. It was a beautiful morning. The geese were even up early. It takes about an hour to get to Piscataqua River Bridge – […]
~~~ Tuesday Evening, October 5 ~~~ This was a gift to Mark and Diane for his 60th birthday in 2020. However, COVID and weather postponed it until Mark’s 61st birthday. We met Jim (owner of Androscoggin Balloon Adventures) and some of his crew at a Park and Ride in Lewiston, ME. They asked us to […]
~~~ Tuesday, October 5 ~~~ Tuesdays are Mark’s usual day off in his workweek, making it easy to celebrate his special day. Their daughter Hannah also had the day off from the dairy farm and came for a 10 am brunch. Diane made an egg casserole with leftover potatoes and steak from our lunch in […]
~~~ October 4 ~~~ Along the way, Diane entered Sunday River Covered Bridge in her cell phone, so that became our next destination. Along the way we came upon this small bridge. I don’t know if it has a name. Sunday River Bridge Sentences in italics are from internet articles. The 100-foot long, 20-foot wide […]
