Corn Harvest
Monday, November 23 It was about mid-morning when I heard the rumble of large equipment in the field next to us – looked outside and grabbed my camera. I took all these pictures from our front door, the patio, or one of our windows. From beginning to end, it took two hours. I love living in the country […]
Monday’s Birds
Monday, November 23 It was a busy morning, but when I looked outside our kitchen window at 9:30, and the lighting was right, I stopped to take a few pictures of this finch couple. They are the most common of birds at our feeders, but I still find them so pretty and interesting. Then, just as I […]
Sunset After The Play
Sunday, November 22 This is what I saw outside a large, school window when we were waiting to meet the cast after the play. This was the western sky from the car – just before heading home. It was a delightful afternoon.
The Pursuit of Perfection
Sunday, November 22 – 2:00 PM Performance I learned about this play by “Born To Be Different Productions” because our niece Chelsey was Backstage/Stage Manager Assistant. I went with my sister, Nancy, and our sister-in-law Anne. (Cerwin and my sister’s husband were hunting in West Virginia.) I will tell the story as I remember it. Those who […]
What I See Outside Our Windows
Saturday, November 21 This is what I see outside our guest room window when I am walking on our treadmill in the early morning – about 6:30 AM. It’s fun to see the winter birds come to our feeders and watch them outside the window at our kitchen sink. If I look beyond the feeders, this is what […]
I Love a Rainy Day
Thursday, November 19 I love the beauty of a cold, gray, rainy day – when I can stay inside. I guess that makes me a pluviophile – a person who loves rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. 🙂 I can’t explain it, Rain makes me feel like God has pushed the […]

My Favorite Times of Day
Tuesday, November 17 I have two favorite times of day – morning… …and night If you look, you can almost see the man in the moon in this picture. 🙂
Apple Dumplings
Wednesday, November 18 I love that our friends who like to cook and bake, sometimes bestow a tasty delight on us. Look at that! There were two of these. However, I didn’t remember to take a picture until one was eaten. Hot with milk – oh, yum. Thanks, Glenn and Rachel.
Ringnecks in Our Yard
There are at least three ringneck pheasants in our yard each morning, often only one at a time, but sometimes I see three on the edge of the cornfield. It is fun watching them. A pheasant and a crow searching for breakfast. Then a squirrel joined him. Pheasants remind me of royalty because of their […]
Puppy ~ Dinner ~ Train Station
Sunday, November 15 After seeing our granddaughter Diana’s Facebook entry introducing Ralph (puppy) to her readers, I told her that I would love to meet him. He is a Rottweiler (I think I got that right) and a gift from her handsome boyfriend Donovan. We were delighted that they brought him to see us. Later in the […]
Berries I Never Noticed
Saturday, November 14 We got a treadmill several weeks ago and put it in the guest room. Because I like to walk with the solar blinds up so I can see what is going on outside both windows – I have the blinds totally open. One day when the sun was shinning on our fire bush, […]
Time of Migration
Saturday evening, November 14 I went outside to take a picture of this… …when I heard the distant sound of honking geese. I love to be outside in the evening when geese are flying overhead.

A Beautiful Night
Friday, November 13 There is nothing quite so peaceful as a quiet evening at sunset. This reminds me of the book, “Guess How Much I Love You?” when Big Nutbrown Hare said, “I love you to the moon and back.”
Red Sky At Morning, Sailors Take Warning
November 12, 2015 From the Internet:The common phrase “Red sky at morning” is a line from an ancient rhyme often repeated by mariners. Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning I had difficulty believing that this beautiful morning was going to soon turn to rain. However, the red was […]
