Our Ornamental Cherry Trees
Wednesday, April 15 The weeping cherry tree (center) always blooms before the regular one (right). The weeping blossoms are just beyond full bloom and the regular blossoms are just starting to open.

Cerwin’s 79th Birthday Celebration
Wednesday, April 22 We had been discussing several ways to celebrate his birthday with proper social distancing, like a car party in our yard, but nothing quite worked out to have family come here – so we settled on phone calls, selfie photo wishes, text messages, cards, and Facebook likes and wishes – and apparently […]

Notes from Sunday Worship

Curbside Groceries

Rain and Budding Beauty
