Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday, March 15 This was just the beginning of the coronavirus stay-at-home order and I was already feeling the need to get outside. 🙂 I think it was just in my head. My view to the southeast as I began my two-mile walk around the block. Approaching the Homestead. The dairy barn – just after […]
Sunday, March 22 Sunday School (via phone & computer) Cerwin listened on his cell phone – to have the benefit of Bluetooth through his hearing aids. I listened on the computer to free up phone lines for those without a computer. The opening songs were beautiful, recorded music – songs that our congregation is used […]
Sunday, March 15 was a beautiful day to photograph the crocuses in our flowerbeds. All facts and information are from the Internet. Purple is similar to violet, but unlike violet, which is a spectral color with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light, purple is a secondary color made by combining red and […]
When I looked out the window late Saturday afternoon, March 14, I did a double-take, because I saw people riding mules or work horses. At first I thought they were Amish riders, but I think these people may have been riding Amish animals. I showed the pictures to Cerwin. He thinks the back one is […]
Saturday, March 14 We were planning for the annual birthday party at our friends Mark and Marcy’s house – on Sunday, March 15. At the time, we didn’t have to stay home because of the virus, but Marcy messaged me on Saturday morning to say she had a serious case of bronchitis and would have […]
Saturday, March 14 Breathtaking beauty in the sky The daffodils were just waking up in the cold, morning darkness. Notice the pink in the background? It was our pink hyacinth.
Earlier this year the TFC Global office learned that they needed to install a trash guard at the water area on their property. The open pipe was acceptable when the office was built about 15 years ago – but today the township requires a trash guard. Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock purchased items and welded the […]
I love words, especially new words, so this Japanese word caught my attention when I read Our Daily Bread this morning. Tsundoku is a Japanese term that refers to a stack of unread books. I like this definition: tsundoku is a combination of Japanese words meaning “to pile up” and “reading.” It can be used in […]
Friday, March 13 We bought this chocolate chip cookie mix through our granddaughter Jana who was selling these for a friend who made them to help fund a mission trip. Last Friday was the day that I chose to mix and bake them. The jar contained only the dry ingredients, so I had to add […]
I love when the bluebirds look directly at my camera. They look like they are cross. 🙂
Sunday, March 15 Sunday School (only by phone) – Subject: Consequences for Injustice – Habakkuk 2:6-14 – Teacher: Nevin Ebersole We can get discouraged – but know this – God will win! What God allows – He allows. All labor is in vain without God. The just shall live by faith. Whatever is God’s will […]
Tuesday, March 10 Sometimes I just have to go outside – and I can do that because we live in the country – instead of listening to news. The hyacinth are beginning to bloom. The pink and the purple Daffodils are bursting in the buds. The crocus are in full bloom …and oh, look, the […]
Monday, March 9 The sky looked a bit like an ocean. A few fun facts about clouds A cloud is a large group of tiny water droplets that we can see in the air. Clouds are formed when water on Earth evaporates into the sky and condenses high up in the cooler air. Most clouds […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma
Saturday, March 7 Did you ever see an advertisement on TV or smell the scent of a favorite food in a mall or grocery store and have it influence your next purchase? We were watching TV last Saturday afternoon when I noticed a sub in an advertisement and thought, “I would enjoy a good sub […]
Thursday Morning, March 5 Isn’t is amazing that day after day the sun rises on a new day – no matter what is going on in the world and in our world. A sign of God’s faithfulness.
This includes a variety of photos from the past six weeks. I had a funny thing happen today, which reminded me that it was time to post another set of bird photos. As I thought about what I would post this evening, I got up from working on my laptop and went to get my […]
Wednesday, March 4 The first crocus in our yard always reminds me of my Mother. These crocus bulbs were her last gift to us – for our 10th wedding anniversary in September 1973. She died suddenly in March 1974. Inge, this is your area – the burial plot for you sweet cats. I will let […]
