Pastel Sunrise
Sometimes I think, “How can every sunrise be different?”
Keeper of the Spring
Last Sunday Marv Shenk used this illustration in his sermon. I expect it is always a timely illustration, but I thought it worthy of sharing at a time when the world around us needs every Christian to be a “Keeper of the Spring”, so I copied the story from the internet. The late Peter Marshall, […]
Ouch! Mismatching Socks. Information on Bare Feet.
My usual warm day footwear is being barefooted, but it would have been good if I had been wearing shoes on the day I took a corner too short when doing laundry. 🙂 I learned something today when thinking, “If I could, I would probably go to restaurants and grocery stores with bare feet.” That […]
Why I Wear a Face Mask When Required
I wear a face mask when entering a place of business – more out of respect for the business than because it is a government requirement. Probably 100% of the businesses would prefer no masks, but it is required of them by the government – if they want to keep their doors open. The Wal-Marts […]
Dusty Sunset
One evening, about a week ago, I noticed that a neighboring farmer was creating an interesting sunset when working in his field. About that time another neighbor drove by with a load of hay bales. I don’t think he even saw me in our driveway – with camera in hand – because he was also […]
Today Would Have Been Daddy High’s 100th Birthday
It has been 20 years and nine months since we said goodbye to you. We miss you Daddy (Cerwin’s dad), but know you are enjoying your heavenly rest. A highlight of his life (other than the love of his family) was fishing in Canada. Daddy as a young man.
Seeing the Evening Sun Through Dogwood Leaves
This was my view of the evening sun through the dogwood tree on our patio. Beauty happens every day in some way if we are looking for it.
A Good Time of Year to Make Tomato Soup
I enjoy making a large pot of tomato soup and freezing about 2/3 of it for cold, rainy, fall lunches.
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Zach
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Tucker
We love you! Great Grandpa and Great Grandma High
Last Flowers of Autumn
I am amazed that these tiny flowers have not yet given up to the cold mornings of November. We are supposed to have a cold week, so maybe this will be my last view of them.
Beautiful
Pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically. Attractive, pretty, nice-looking, pleasing, alluring, lovely, charming, delightful, appealing, splendid, wonderful, magnificent, glorious. This sunset was definitely pleasing to my eyes.
Red-Bellied Woodpecker
These birds are so much fun to watch and I have many opportunities to see them through-out the year.
Supper with Our Favorite Veteran
Wednesday, November 11 Yesterday was a cloudy, rainy day and since it was Veteran’s Day I was reminded that it had been two and a half months since we had seen Roy and Deb (our youngest daughter). Due to being at home so much recently because of a lot of COVID in our area, I […]
Ingenuity
The quality of being clever, original and inventive. You get to see Cerwin’s clever leaf-gatherer invention every fall and I love to tease him about his “red-neck leaf-gatherer.” But, I am mostly proud of him for using an old trailer to create this apparatus. In some areas of the yard, it was like plowing leaves […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Nathaniel
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Purple
Interesting facts on why we sometimes see a purple sky. A professor of meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, explained that the sky turns purple because of extremely low atmospheric pressure. Particles, or aerosols, scatter sunlight as it passes through the air, which in combination with the absorption of light by the ozone layer, gives sunrises […]
