The Doves Are Even Sunbathing in Southeastern Pennsylvania Today
~~~ Wednesday, May 19 ~~~ I smiled when I noticed this Mourning Dove land in the flower bed and immediately go into sunbathing mode. It is an incredibly beautiful day here in Lancaster County.

Lily of the Valley Flowers
~~~ Photos taken on Thursday, May 6 ~~~ I always look forward to when our Lily of the Valley bloom each spring – just to smell them. When googling Lily of the Valley, I learned that it is highly poisonous if consumed by humans or animals. If I knew this, I forgot. Thankfully, I didn’t […]

I think I will stick with bleeding heart. It’s easier to pronounce. 🙂 The flowers are rather fragile and hang in rows on arching […]
The Demise of a Sixty-Year-Old Silo
~~~ Photos from Tuesday, May 11 and Thursday, May 13 ~~~ Our view of the homestead changed this week when the 60-year-old-silo was taken down. Franklin Silo Repair had a lot of prep work to do on Tuesday. Notice the dust coming out of the top of the silo. That is about all I saw […]
Eagles!
~~~ Sunday Evening, May 9 ~~~ We were just a mile from home when two large birds flew away from eating roadkill. I called our son Jere and said, “There are eagles on the road in front of your house.” We are used to seeing turkey buzzards, but were surprised to see bald eagles. We […]
