My Secret Sister Revealed!
~~~ Tuesday, September 2 ~~~ It was a few weeks ago that we were invited to Kyle and Korina Wenger’s house for Sunday lunch. They are “our” deacons for the year and have committed to having each of their “responsibilities” for a meal during the year of 2025. It was fun visiting with them, their […]
Hummingbird
I marvel that our hummingbirds never share a feeder with another hummingbird. We have visited areas of the United States where their feeders are full of hummingbirds. When at our kitchen sink, I noticed two hummingbirds fighting over the feeder. This one was the winner. Maybe it was female power. 🙂 I think we may […]
Backyard Bluegrass
~~~ Friday Evening, August 29 ~~~ We had never been to this concert, but it seems to have been going on for several years – not always at the same location. This time we were in the backyard of the John Fox family near Denver, PA. Many people arrived early and enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches, […]

I Love the View of Our Road This Time of Year
I like this because we cannot see the road – only a slight division between the two cornfields. Vehicles remind us that there is indeed a road.
Red-bellied Woodpecker Hiding in the Shadows
This male woodpecker is either a young one or it is molting because its feathers look rather ratty. It seemed to be enjoying suet.

Swimming at Refreshing Mountain
~~~ Monday, August 25 ~~~ This time we went with Abby and their five children because they missed the swim date for great grandchildren the other week due to sickness in their house. Cerwin and Renee (front). Natalie, Jasmine, Anthony, Abigail, and Garth This time we went to the playground first (noon) so lunch would […]
Gray Catbird
The variety and number of birds at our feeders is always lower during the summer, probably because there are a lot of farms in our area that provide access to a variety of grains. They are called catbirds because they give a “meeow” call in situations of alarm. This is the best picture of this […]
Rain
~~~ Sunday, August 17 ~~~ That was a week ago. We could use another good rain for our yards and crops.
Birdseed Thief
We don’t see this guy very often, but I caught him stuffing his cheeks. It is such a cute thief.
Updating Our Patio Area
This is what our patio bank looked like yesterday morning – and the past few months. Last year the spreading juniper was still beautiful, but this year it began dying. I kept pulling out the dead stuff, but it continued to die during the early summer days. We called Dave at Hershey Landscaping who came […]
Creative Squirrel
I was watching this guy for a bit before I thought about getting my camera. 🙂 In this photo it is hanging by one foot. Then it went back for more food. When it lost its grip and fell to the ground he continued eating from the seed that fell on the ground. This just […]
