Beautiful Tulips from My Secret Sister
Easter Sunday, April 5 There was a note in our church mailbox that the tulip on the table behind the mailbox was for me. Oh, how I love this color. Being a secret sister at our church is so much fun.
A New Birdfeeder
When I noticed that a few of our birdfeeders needed replaced, I began looking for two replacements. You may remember the colander/sieve that I bought at a secondhand store. I didn’t find anything else unique, so purchased this one on Amazon. I like that it is double layered. A pair of finches were the first […]
Cerwin’s First Cataract Surgery was Successful
Monday, April 6 Cerwin had an arrival time of 8:45 am this morning with surgery scheduled an hour later. In the above photo Cerwin was being prepped for cataract surgery on his left eye about forty-five minutes later than expected due to the surgeon running late. The surgeon had several surgeries before Cerwin’s. Shortly after […]
Bluejay Visitor
Bluejays are regular visitors all year round. They like our bench feeder, because there is more room for their large bird bodies.
It Is Good to See Northern Mockingbirds Again
It doesn’t seem that I saw mockingbirds during the winter, so I checked with Google to see if they migrate. Google said they don’t make full migrations but do move south if they live in the northern part of the United States. We had a cold winter, so it was a good idea to move […]

A Sampling of Spring Flowers in Our Yard
Forsythia and Daffodils I especially like when these daffodils bloom. They came from a bank of daffodils that my dad planted after he and my stepmother moved off the farm. After Daddy died, she asked if I wanted some of the bulbs. Of course I did. I am glad God created springtime!

Applying Fertilizer and Crabgrass Killer to Our Lawn
Thursday, March 26 Cerwin recently bought several bags of fertilizer and crabgrass killer to put on our lawn. His consultant said the right time to do it is when the forsythia are blooming… …and they are blooming. I took these photos in our neighbor’s yard. I barely had to leave our yard to get the […]
Working at Blessings of Hope
Wednesday, March 25 – Leola Warehouse This time we were preparing strawberries for freezing. People at a few other tables were washing and sorting the strawberries. We topped and quartered them. Our great grandson Anthony enjoyed being along, but I don’t think this was one of his favorite things to do here. He likes packaging […]
New Birdfeeder
Several days ago, I weeded a patio flowerbed and rearranged some birdfeeders. I noticed that two feeders looked a bit forlorn and needed to be replaced. On Saturday (when going to the play – a previous post) we took some items to Jubilee (secondhand store) and still had fifteen minutes before picking up Inge at […]
