New Growth in the Back Part of Our Yard
Wednesday, May 23 Our new peonies are looking healthy. However, I haven’t seen any signs of buds yet. We dug them out at Dustan and Jenna’s place last year, so these are new bushes. I was pleased to see that they are quite healthy. I was also pleased to see that our old yucca plant […]

An Evening with Dustan and Jenna
Tuesday, May 22 We met at their house before going to JoBoy’s Restaurant in Lititz. This was to celebrate Jenna’s birthday – which was at the end of March. It was fun to see the room they are preparing for the baby they expect in July. We were impressed with their beautiful yard. Thanks, Dustan […]
Pentecost Monday
Monday, May 21 When I saw this open carriage with “dressed up” Amish, I knew it was a special day for the Amish. I thought a bit, then remembered that the previous day was Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost Monday is not celebrated by many people – but it is celebrated by the Amish. From the Internet: […]
Baby Shower for Dustan and Jenna
Sunday Afternoon, May 20 Dustan and Jenna have chosen to not know if they are having a girl or a boy, thus there were pink and blue decorations.

Fox Meadows Creamery for Anthony’s Birthday
Friday Morning, May 18 I asked him how old he was on this birthday (May 10). He put up four fingers as he continued drinking his orange soda. I told him that I wanted a nice smile. This is what I got. I asked him to do a softer smile. I got this. My favorite […]

Upgrading a Flowerbed
Monday Evening, May 14 The flowerbed in the center of our driveway is on a slight grade, meaning the mulch and dirt wash out onto the grass during rain storms. Cerwin came up with the idea of lining the lower part with stones, but wasn’t sure what to use. I suggested that we talk to […]

The rainy days have created a very healthy mint tea garden in our yard. I used it to make several gallon to tea for our Hershey Family lunch on Sunday.
