Moods of a Morning
Thursday, October 1 It was amazing how the morning sunrise quickly changed from beautiful to ominous.
Logs
Wednesday, September 30 I heard a rig nearby and noticed a log truck backing in the driveway below our yard. I knew why they were there. The owner had taken down a few trees that were leaning toward the house – and looking a bit dangerous, especially if there was a storm. Apparently he had […]
Bennett – His Expressions & “Rutching”
Tuesday, September 29 Look who came to see us! Our granddaughter Diana and our great grandson Bennett. I had fun taking pictures and capturing a variety of his expressions. Diana said if I want to watch him “rutch” (moving forward before crawling) to put his pacifier just out of his reach. 🙂 Almost there. Got […]
Planting a Winter Crop
Monday, September 28 Following the corn harvest, manure spreading and spraying of these fields next to our house a planting of a winter grass began. This field is right next to our yard. You may wonder if the planting worked – fast forward ten days. This is what the field next to our house looks […]
Sight and Sound
Saturday Evening, September 26 We had a great evening at Sight and Sound – enjoying the production of Queen Esther. Due to COVID they are limited in how many can be in the auditorium. I am used to seeing it full, so the audience looked sparse to me. Photos cannot be taken during the program, […]
Notes from Sunday Worship

Nut Picker Upper

Field Work
Friday, September 25 The field next to us was getting some kind of spray in preparation for a winter crop. Later in the day I heard a truck nearby and noticed the field was also getting manure. This is now a well fertilized field. 🙂
Fog
Friday Morning, September 25 Morning fog is pretty when you can stay home and don’t have to drive in it. The early morning light gave it a purple hue. I heard a few crows warning each other that there was an “enemy” in the yard. I looked up and noticed they were back in the […]
Stonehouse Cafe
Thursday, September 24 Our day changed with a phone call when Cerwin’s hearing aid appointment at Costco, was postponed because his technician had a family emergency. (He goes for an update/test every few months.) We were in the mood to go somewhere, so Cerwin suggested Stonehouse CafĂ© in Clay for an early supper. We weren’t […]

Beauty on a Monday Afternoon and Evening
Monday, September 21 I enjoyed the quiet, ordinary beauty of watching this house finch (we have lots of them) eating from our graniteware dipper in the light of the early evening sun. I brought the colander and dipper feeder close to the kitchen window after the hummingbirds headed south a few weeks ago – and […]

It was a beautiful, sunny evening. The meal was organized and served by a Sunday school class. They had more work […]
Mowing Late Summer Hay
Saturday Morning, September 19 It was a beautiful, late Saturday morning for mowing hay in the field next to our roadside bank on the northwestern side of our property. I expect the hay will feed Jacob and Eli’s horses, mules and goats. I love the feeling in the air on late summer mornings.
