Super Blue Moon
Wednesday Morning, January 31 Since there was a lot of hype about this super blue moon, I went outside at 5:56 am. It was super brilliant As the eclipse began at 6:46, it was easier to photograph. When I turned my back to the moon, I saw the sunrise in the east.
Sportsman’s Dinner & Expo 2018
Saturday Evening, January 27 We arrived early – to get tickets at the door. We hadn’t gotten tickets ahead of time because of a possible conflict in appointments. When I called two days before the expo they said there would be tickets at the door until they were gone. The first thing we did was […]
Lydia and Granpda
Saturday Morning, January 27 Lydia and Grandpa were on a mission to replace a head lamp bulb on her car. It took two trips to Advance Auto Parts to get the job done – after a small part broke.
Beautiful Evening Sky
Friday Evening, January 26 There was a beautiful, waxing moon high in the sky – ready to light the night sky. At the same minute the sun was setting in the west… …creating a beautiful orange sky. I love sunsets when the sky is orange.

Tomato-Soup-Kind-of-Day
Thursday, January 18 As I watched the female Red-bellied Woodpecker on this cold, wintry morning, I thought, “This would be a good day to make a pot of tomato soup.” I had some tomatoes left over from the High family lunch and boiled them so I could easily remove the skin. Then I went to […]
Processing Highway News
Thursday, January 18 We usually invite two people to come to our office to help us label and prepare the individual Highway News for mailing. But, since Cerwin is not building a chapel this winter, he has extra time – and we don’t have to ask friends to go out in the cold, wintry weather. […]
Day After the Snow
Wednesday, January 17 These pictures follow last nights shots of the nighttime snow. This is what it looked like in the morning. The township snowplows went by several times during the day. I love a snowy day – when I can stay at home.
