I Finished Stitching the Truck
You may remember that I showed this partially stitched truck to you earlier this year. It is a really neat old Chevy owned by Jeff and Chris. I finished it a few weeks ago and took it to AC Moore for framing. It looks nice in our living room.

Catbird House Finch This wren was singing at the top of its lungs. A mourning dove was trying to figure out what happened to the ground feeder. I expect a squirrel or raccoon knocked it down. Female cardinal enjoying birdseed in the warm, morning sunshine A blue jay getting a drink. See ya later

A beautiful scene on the way […]

Hanging Wire
Monday, May 6 When I went to the mailbox last Monday, I noticed a wire hanging from one of the large overhead wires. The wire almost touched the mail box, so I called our electric company, because I didn’t want anyone touching it. I told them it looked like an exterior wire from a large […]
Make-A-Wish Convoy ~ Gettysburg
Sunday, May 5 Looks like it will be a rainy day for the Make-A-Wish Convoy. I took these pictures at the TFC office while Cerwin prepared the truck for travel. An unfocused photo of rain on the truck windshield turned out to be interesting. On the road – up Chiques Hill – toward Route 30 […]
