Thursday, July 12 Due to the fact that TFC is not currently building a chapel, Cerwin needed something to do – especially in winter when there are no truck shows and places to take the mobile chapel – so he asked our son Jere (CEO/Manager for Lancaster DHIA) if he needed any drivers for picking […]

A Drive Through Amish Country in Ohio

We have to keep them from taking over the walkway and other flowers. Information from the Internet: Gooseneck Loosestrife produces unique spikes of white […]

Our Yucca Flowers are Blooming

Yucca flowers are oriented downwards during the day. They change position […]
