Rhododendron The top of a birdfeeder A frosted frog in a frozen birdbath Frost tipped rose Perennial stonecrop looked extra pretty with frosted edges Our new spreading juniper was pretty as well The fallen leaves also captured my attention.
Tuesday, November 18 The other day our granddaughter Diana messaged me about bringing their children for a play date. We eventually settled on suppertime. Her husband, Donovan, his dad, and some of his brothers are on a white tail hunting trip in the Midwest, so it was a good way for these four to spend […]
We were surprised to drive into the Manheim square on Saturday evening and see that the Christmas lights were already on display. I think I remember when that didn’t happen until after Thanksgiving, but I am okay with Christmas lights being displayed for a very long time. I love Christmas – and even better – […]
We were on our way home from the play at Lampeter Church of the Brethren on Saturday when we noticed this unique hubcap tree. I am not sure if they keep it up all year long or if it is a decoration for Christmas. It doesn’t appear that any of them match. I love creative […]

The sun was coming up as the moon was going down. This is what it looked like on the ground.
I think they are prettier than during most of the summer.
Yesterday, Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, November 11 When I talked to our youngest daughter Deb in the morning, we decided on this restaurant in Maryland, about twenty minutes from their house. We had fun talking to Roy about some of his experiences in the Navy. I was surprised at how many countries he visited during that […]

I found this in the woodsy area of our property and googled its value and purpose. Even before I looked it up on the internet, I thought, “It sounds like something the native Indians would have used in our area.” I learned that it’s a toxic perennial which is native to North America. It is […]
One day as I was walking around our yard and woodlot, I noticed these tiny blue flowers on what appeared to be a weed. I was fascinated by these delicate flowers and learned through my flower AP that they are Asiatic Dayflowers. They are not a popular flower like a rose or a tulip, but […]
It is always interesting to watch mushrooms growing in our yard and notice the interesting variety. We probably won’t see them again until next summer.
