Morning Sunrise and Something to Ponder
A small waning crescent moon was quietly observing the pretty sunrise on Saturday morning. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Red-bellied Woodpecker and Something to Ponder
She posed for me so nicely the other day. I know it is a female because there is gray between the red on her head and the red near her beak. The male has a solid red head. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Snow Flurry
~~~ Thursday, February 20 ~~~ We didn’t get a lot of snow, but it looked pretty for a while.
My Secret Sister’s Birthday Gift
I found this pretty card in our church mailbox last Sunday, February 16. I love this blessing. I am still waiting for an idea on how to use this $10.00. I have a sticker note on it, so it doesn’t get used for gas or taxes. 🙂

European Starlings
The ordinary and often pesky starlings looked rather pretty the other day in the late morning sunshine. They were introduced to New York City in1890 – from Europe. Since then, they have spread across North America. They usually come to our feeders in groups and are noisy and scrappy. I personally think they look rather […]

Change of Weather on Sunday
~~~ Sunday, February 16 ~~~ The Amish buggies and horses looked pretty on Sunday morning following Saturday’s snow. There weren’t many buggies this week, probably only the two Amish families who live on our road and maybe another one or two. I expect their church meeting was at a home farther west from our house. […]

~~~ Friday evening, February 14 Akron Lions Lodge, Akron, PA – 5:00 pm ~~~ Aleah’s corner Aleah – the star of the evening Special prayer for Aleah by her dad Zach. If you notice the interesting look on Gloria’s face, I happened to capture this photo as Zach’s voice broke and there was a pause […]
A Fun Few Days with Diane, Her Pennsylvania Daughters and Grandchildren
~~~ Sunday, February 9 through Thursday, February 13 ~~~ It started with the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. Natalie, Nathaniel, Anthony, Jasmine, Abby and Garth. Renee is somehow missing from this picture. I wish I could have captured a picture of her at half-time. I read that some people thought half-time was boring. Not at […]
Pretty Flowers for Valentine’s Day
After picking up the milk samples for Lancaster DHIA for testing, Cerwin stopped at the grocery store and bought this beautiful bouquet for me. I wasn’t home at the time, because Diane, Anthony, and I volunteered at Blessings of Hope – Leola Warehouse. This morning we packaged raw bacon. Taking it from 30 lb. bags […]

The Enemy of Our Little Birds
As soon as I looked out the window, I noticed the hawk. I love capturing life when the creature has no idea that I have a camera focused on it. As far as I can tell, it is a Cooper’s Hawk. The Sharp-shinned Hawk is similar. Now I know why there weren’t any birds at […]
Lunch with TFC Friends
~~~ Monday, February 10 ~~~ Sam, Inge, Cerwin (photo) and I met our friends Gary and Pearl at Cracker Barrel, near Hamburg, PA. Gary and Pearl (next to windows) live in Ohio, so we don’t see them very often. The windows caused an issue with the lighting as usual – as I knew it would. […]
