Another Sunrise & More Snow

Sunrise & More Snow
Wednesday, January 21 It was a cold, beautiful morning, but I wanted to go outside and get a photo of the pretty sunrise. On the way back I noticed the frosty grass and leaves beneath my feet. Thursday, January 22 – We woke up to another layer of snow. Reuben and his girlie shoveled the driveway. […]
Snow & Doves
It’s been a snowy week – beginning with Wednesday, January 21 The Dark-eyed Juncos were busy. As I looked for photo opportunities, I saw a dove that I had missed. Then I saw another. and another. I was surprised to see how many doves were perched in the branches. They were at first camouflaged to […]
Last Weekend
January 17 & 18 Judi and her children enjoying window sunshine. They just got word today – Friday, January 23 – that the paperwork has been completed for them to leave Pennsylvania and head home with their little guy – who is in the process of being adopted. I am going to miss all four of them, […]
Paddington
Friday, January 16 Jere and Kristen took us and their family to see Padding Bear at Penn Cinema as part of our Christmas gift.

Reuben & Judi’s Family
K would love to splash in the birth bath. Thankfully it is frozen most days right now. She loves her little brother. We are enjoying having them stay with us while the legal paperwork for his adoption process is finalized for their trip home. It’s hard to believe they have been here since December 26. She enjoys having her […]
Ice & An Observer
Monday, January 12 It was a beautiful day outside – as long as you could stay inside. Icicles were dripping from everything. Oh, look! Someone is watching me. Some of you have asked how Reuben and Judi are progressing with the adoption process of their little guy. Things are moving very slowly. They have been here (from Wisconsin) […]
Bare Branches
If this was my first winter in the northeast, If I didn’t know about the seasons, I would think that our trees are dead. If this was my first winter, I would think there isn’t much hope for those bare branches. But I’ve lived here for almost seventy-one years long enough to know better. I […]
An Eagle!
Today, as we were approaching our house – on the way home from taking the TFC pickup to the garage for inspection – Cerwin noticed a bald eagle in the field across from our house. I didn’t have my camera, but quickly got it and began taking pictures as I walked toward it. This is only […]
Visiting Mother High
Sunday Evening, January 11 A neat little bridge we go through on our way home from Roy and Deb’s. Traveling through Lancaster. We decided to go by Landis Homes to visit Cerwin’s mother. Just before turning off of Route 272, I took a picture of this place of business – which was a farm house […]
Roy & Deb’s In-house Animals
Sunday Afternoon, January 11 But first, I had to take a few outside pictures. I didn’t think to ask, but this looks like a chainsaw carving of raccoons. It is located next to their outside animal feeders. I was most interested in meeting Trixie – their newest rescue. She is not yet healthy, but, oh, […]
Lunch With Roy & Deb
Sunday, January 11 We had a few things that belonged to Roy and Deb, so decided to meet them for lunch. Shortly after we arrived at RD’s, a friend of Roy & Deb’s came in and sat at the next table. Deb offered to hold their baby for a bit. She had been crying before Deb got […]
Sunday Sunrise
Sunday, January 11 It’s especially delightful to see a beautiful sunrise on a Sunday morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. We do our best to rest and be refreshed in our walk with the Lord on Sundays – and being a member of a church that encourages this is quite helpful. In Sunday school we focused on the […]
