Sunday, December 14 – The day our family was coming for our Christmas celebration. When I woke up and saw the snow, I hoped it wouldn’t keep anyone from coming to our family Christmas lunch. As the sky got lighter and I saw the township snowplow (background) going by, I assumed that everyone would be […]

After eating a Two Cousin’s meal, we enjoyed a light dessert of fruit, cookies and popcorn. Haven became a bit unsettled, so I rocked her this way to help keep her content. Cerwin enjoyed making her smile while we visited in our living room. What fun to spend an evening with Jordan, Nicole, and their […]

This gray, black and white junco looked brownish/yellow in the bright early morning sunshine.
It was fun to see a Red-bellied Woodpecker at our suet again. I haven’t seen one for a while.
Now another mystery begins until she reveals herself. I don’t think there are any “rules” about how long they keep it a secret. I found this small bag in our church mailbox on Sunday and am excited to begin another journey with a secret sister. The bag contained this note and three gifts. This turns […]
The low temperature for us today was 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Right now, it is the whole way up to 28 degrees.
I walked outside to capture the beautiful sunset on Saturday evening. As I walked back to the house, I heard the sound of Canada Geese who were probably heading home to roost for the night
Yesterday my sister messaged me with this note, “Are you home if I stop in this afternoon with cookies.” I replied, “YES!!” I knew what we were getting because she, her daughters, and granddaughters make lots of delicious cookies every December. Cookies don’t get any better than this. My first choice is always one of […]
Tuesday, December 2 This was our view at 7:30 am. The frog in our birdbath was barely visible. By 10:30 am there was just a small bump to show that the frog was still there. It is fun to watch the birds fluttering around in the snow. Cerwin thought we had about 2″. North of […]
