A Delightful, Cold, Winter Day.
Friday, February 27 A pretty cardinal posed for me in the early morning sun. I like when I have time to enjoy the birds. I noticed a tufted titmouse on a feeder close to the kitchen window while I was still holding my camera. In the afternoon, when going to visit Cerwin’s mother, we noticed this plane coming […]
Breakfast Date With A Grandson

Our meals have arrived. Lois Cerwin Nate Me After breakfast Nate went to Hammer Creek Stainless for his last day of work. He […]
Manure & Sheep
Wednesday, February 25 We awoke to a certain “country scent” in the air after manure was spread on the field next to our house. Thankfully we did not smell it indoors. It is interesting that God created birds to love this kind of thing. That way, the corn and grain that was eaten by the cows becomes food […]
Cards ~ Pattern ~ Geese ~ Sunset
Tuesday, February 24 I was anxious to open the box that arrived from National Wildlife Federation. It included cards using one of our daughter Deb’s photos. This one is of Chester when he was a baby. Congratulations, Deb. Jared and Jesse were here for a bit after school, and when Jesse saw me stitching Jared’s picture, he asked […]
Snow ~ Again
Sunday, February 22 Snow seems to be the theme for our weekends in recent weeks – and for many days during the week. Cerwin opened our driveway before church in the morning. Toward evening I went outside to take a picture of the sunset. This is what I saw when I looked up. The sky […]
New Chapel Construction
This is a used 53′ trailer and will go to the Pilot in Ocala, Florida, I-75, Exit 358. If you read our latest newsletter and thought it was going to be a promotional chapel (used to take to churches, truck shows, etc.), that was changed a few weeks ago when funds were raised for the Pilot. The trailer was donated […]
Prayer Breakfast & More Snow
Saturday, February 21 We were out of the house early and headed into the sunrise as we traveled to the Lancaster Chapter Prayer Breakfast at Yoder’s in New Holland. I love driving into a sunrise when God is putting on a show. I shared my part first. I told about some of my experiences in […]
Snow Plows & A Pretty Sunset
Friday, February 20 One mailbox down! Apparently a snowplow hit it during the night. Cerwin was able to repair it without much trouble. Later in the morning a front end loader came through to push the snow farther into the field in preparation for another snow storm. A regular snow plow followed to make sure the […]
Ice Sculptures
It has been so cold in our area that ice sculptures from the 10th Anniversary Fire and Ice Festival in Lititz are still intact. The festival was held from February 13-16. This one is in front of Hershey and Gibbel Insurance on Broad Street. The five I photographed are all from Broad Street. In front of the […]

Mules In The Snow
Wednesday, February 18 After labeling the individual March Highway News and Good News, we headed to the Lititz Post Office. (Thanks Mel, Velda, Mary and Lois for helping.) A small stone wall at a Lititz traffic light looked pretty in the snow. Cerwin putting the 14 bags of mail on the post office dock. […]
Thoughtfulness
February 14 to 22 was an unusual period of time in which we were the recipients of many kind gifts. This arrived on Valentine’s Day. Oh, how I love fresh fruit. It was delivered by five of my favorite young people ~ Josh, Jana, Ian, Jared, and Jesse. Jesse was pleased that he got to sign […]
Evening Travel
I enjoy road trips – whether just a few minutes or many hours – especially when Cerwin is driving. I love observing what is going on around me as we travel. Lights, reflections, and bare trees in wintertime fascinate me. On this particular night the traffic was heavy in Lancaster. I wonder where everyone was going?

Roy and Deb set up the evening for us and their friends… …Melanie and Sterling The restaurant created a romantic ambience. We started with soup. My lobster bisque.
