Friday Evening, March 27 We had a gift certificate (Christmas gift) from Jeff and Chris and thought it would be fun to use it and invite them to join us. They seemed pleased to do that and met us at 5:30 PM. I love seeing what is growing in the restaurant greenhouse and garden each time […]

March 24 to April 2 Spreading manure on the field to our south. Back to the manure pit Then back to the field The crops should grow well this summer! Two days later a rather ominous looking storm came through and made sure the manure was firmly soaked into the soil. The rain didn’t last long, […]

Lorraine, Doris, and Cathy slicing sandwich rolls which would be filled with hot, barbecued chicken.

Saturday, March 21 You may have noticed that I didn’t mention Cerwin during my mud sale posts… …that’s because he was at a 75th birthday party for our friend Gene. His and Cookie’s son Mark – in black. Their other son Matthew – center – wearing brown. It sounds like the guys had a great time. […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
Saturday, March 21 It was full in the quilt tent, making it difficult to get good pictures – but I got a few. The ones up for auction were put on an Amish clothesline – a very creative way to display them. Pretty quilts waiting to be sold. This is why I got lunch early – […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma

They were with our good […]
Saturday, March 21 This is the largest yearly event in our nearby, very small village. It brings in lots of people – many Amish – as funds raised are for the fire company and a local Amish school. As you can see, it snowed the night before the sale… …and the morning sun was hazy from the […]

Monday, March 16 and Friday, March 20 I love to wake up to this kind of morning. Later in the day I happened to be at the window when this “wagon train” went by – a sure sign that the Penryn Mud Sale was happening in the near future. This is our Amish neighbor taking wagons to the fire company […]
Saturday, March 14Many of you saw robins long before I did. March 14 was the first day for me this year. It was a rainy, cool day which quickly melted the many inches of snow that was on the ground. We left the house in the late morning – to have lunch with Cerwin’s mother. My […]
Friday Evening, March 13 We were pleased that it suited 11 of our Pennsylvania grandchildren (and our great-grandchild) to go out for their birthday supper for 2015.
