Spiritual Refreshment Day ~ Part 1 of 4
It was a rather unsettling morning for the committee because it had snowed several inches overnight. However, it was a wet snow meaning when it was plowed, the roads stayed clear. The Wengers were busy plowing the parking lot when I arrived. I asked Cerwin to take me because I am not comfortable driving on […]
Another Sunrise & More Snow
Friday, January 23 & Saturday, January 24 This was Friday morning This was Saturday morning. The snow was beautiful, wet, and heavy. The birds had trouble finding birdseed. The mourning dove decided to pose for me instead of trying to find food.
Sunrise & More Snow

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.

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!
