We were nicely positioned along the route so I could photograph the Parade of Lights on Friday Evening, July 6. It was a beautiful evening to watch a large parade of trucks. It was dark by the time the last trucks were entering Mount Hope Event Center. Meanwhile – inside the building – Aaron Stutzman […]

Friday Morning and Early Afternoon, July 6 I love arriving in Ohio a day early so we have time to take a leisurely drive over back roads in Amish Country. These white deer (and two steers) got our attention. They weren’t thrilled when I got close to the fence so I could get a shot […]

We have to keep them from taking over the walkway and other flowers. Information from the Internet: Gooseneck Loosestrife produces unique spikes of white […]
July 4 was a quiet day for us – and since we had just been at Jeff and Chris’ for a fabulous supper and fireworks show on Sunday evening – and we knew Jere and Kristen were having a work day – and Mark and Diane live too far away, I called Deb to see […]
Sunday, July 1 We were invited to Jesse’s birthday lunch – shortly after church. His choice for lunch – before the cake – was waffles, sausage, and bacon. There were also strawberries and whipped cream. After cake and ice cream, it was time for cards and gifts. I forget why there was a mustache in […]

From the Internet: Early American settlers, who took note of the large and impressive flower heads, called them “Lamparas de Dios” or “the Lamps of God.” Yuccas are native to the hot and dry parts of North America, Central America, and the West Indies. Yucca flowers are oriented downwards during the day. They change position […]
I found some interesting facts about daisies on the Internet. There are approximately 4000 species of daisies that differ in size, shape, color and type of habitat. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. Daisies can live in both wet and dry climates, and they are resistant to pesticides and insects. Not a picky […]
