Wednesday, September 22 We look forward to days when Abby (granddaughter) needs a sitter for Anthony and Jasmine for a few hours. We don’t have them real often, so our toys are interesting to them. At this point Abby usually takes baby Natalie with her. Because Anthony had some homeschool work to do, I did […]
This is the cornfield below our yard. The cattle and other animals will appreciate this during the winter months. This is a sure sign of Fall in our area.
Sunday Evening, September 19 We used to hold this in our church parking lot and had a few good weather years, then it rained one year and we went to Lititz Area Mennonite School and used the gym. That was so well liked that we kept going there, because it was warm and dry when […]
At the encouragement of our sister-in-law Dot, we stopped at a local roadside stand for a grape pie. Oh, my! It was delicious.
Saturday Morning , September 18 We were on the road by 6:30 AM to be at the Prayer Breakfast in Sunbury, PA, by 8:00 AM. It was a warm, hazy morning. By 6:45 the sun was telling us that it was there – behind the clouds. As we traveled along the Susquehanna River, I could […]
You may remember this photograph from Cerwin, Jere and Ian’s wild hog hunt in early September. This is the sow that Cerwin shot. This is the meat that was cut and frozen by Bur-Pak (Myerstown, PA). We got hams, smoked pork chops, ground sausage, ground sausage in links, and loin. We wanted to weigh these […]
We love you! Daddy & Mother
This post is from a variety of shots I took in the past few months. The other week I saw this interesting pattern of bugs on the window screen of our bedroom. I went outside to see what they looked like from that view. I think they must be related to stink bugs. A pretty […]
Cerwin’s sister Doris emailed us on September 15 (which would have been Mother High’s 104th birthday) to ask if we would consider calling her brother John, in Mother’s honor. Mother and John were only 18 months apart in age and have always been good friends – especially in Mother’s later years when they both lived […]
The weather and temperatures in September must have been just right for growing mushrooms, because we had a nice variety of them in our yard. This one looks like it grew into a tight bit of grass because of the area where growth was hindered. When I first noticed this one it was fairly large… […]
~~~ Wednesday, September 15 ~~~ We arrived at Agape just before 1:00 pm. I had called ahead, but we were warned that it was a busy day and we may have to wait awhile. Some of us walked through the pretty gift shop. I love this quote: “Let your story become your song and sing […]
~~~ Tuesday, September 14 ~~~ Looking east through our woodlot. It was the kind of morning that drew me outside. I love warm, foggy mornings. The corn is still tall and soon ready for harvest. By late morning I heard the sound of big equipment across the road. This hasn’t affected the view from our […]
~~~ Tuesday Evening, September 14 ~~~ It seems like we have been celebrating our 58th wedding anniversary since mid-August when we visited Painted Rocks and Mackinac Island in Michigan – then a special lunch with our children on August 29. Cerwin picked up milk and forage samples for DHIA in the morning, then stopped at […]
~~~ Sunday, September 12 ~~~ Steak was Ian’s choice of meat – grilled by his dad. While Jere grilled steaks, I walked around the outside of the house looking for beauty. I also came upon some sister/brother talk. Jana and Josh. Time to eat: Cerwin, Josh, Jere, Kristen, Jana, Austin, Ian, Jared and Jesse. First […]
~~~ Saturday, September 11 ~~~ This is an event we enjoy attending each year – when it suits. We were not able to attend on Friday evening, but spent most of the day there on Saturday. The first group had just finished when we arrived. There were six sets of singers. Each sang for one […]
I love watching these tiny, feisty birds as they feed, sing, build nests and irritate other birds. I am thinking that this one thought he saw another wren in the window. Or, he was just curious about what I was doing. I’m glad we get to see Carolina Wrens at our feeders and windows.
