Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
“You should come outside to see the interesting things that are happening in your yard.” “You coming or not?” Oh, wow! There is a Chicken of the Woods mushroom. I know you can eat these, but I haven’t come to a point of being comfortable making them for us. I figured if a Chicken of […]
Sunday Evening, August 2 We arrived at Nate and Abby’s when supper was almost over – because my skydiving landing didn’t happen until 5:30. This was the day of our sweet little Jasmine’s first birthday (Jazzy to some). Her personal birthday cake included fresh blackberries from Grandma Zuck’s garden. Grandpa and Grandma (Dale and Luanne) […]

Friday Evening, July 31 His mom had fun surprising him when he arrived at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Myerstown. She timed her drive (from Maine) perfectly. Well, she did have some extra time to do some grocery shopping to make it work out. He said to her a few times, “I can’t believe you […]

Tuesday, July 28 When I looked outside for my usual 8 PM outside walk before going to bed, I noticed a beautiful sky and sunset. That was a beautiful walkaround before getting ready for bed.
Monday, July 27 This Carolina Wren “talked” to me while I was enjoying coffee on our favorite patio chair. He was in silhouette because of the morning sun, but I thought it was a great reminder to me of our morning chat. I have no idea what he said to me and I don’t think […]

Sunday, July 25 By now the corn – with tassels – is so tall that I can no longer see the Amish buggies coming up the road by our house. I promise you, there is an Amish family coming through the corn – I can hear the sound of the horse’s hooves. There they are! […]

Friday, July 24 One of our bald cardinals. I am pleased that the grosbeaks stayed all summer. We have a lot of hummingbirds, but they only eat one at a time. I sometimes see two, but it’s when they are fighting over the feeder. 🙂 We were beneficiaries of Jere and Kristen’s homemade bread and […]

This one is popular with the Downy Woodpeckers. The red-headed woodpecker also likes this suet. My only problem is that the starlings also like is, so if […]
