A Snowy Sunset
Photos taken Wednesday evening, January 22 The sunset got prettier as I walked towards the road. As I got closer, then zoomed in with my camera, it looked like fire in the sky.

A Shout Out to This Faithful Worker
Good’s Disposal, you have a good man on our road this morning. Just as he went to pick up the red box of recyclables, a strong wind blew several pieces of cardboard away. He picked up each piece, even the one that went way out into the field.
Working at Blessings of Hope
Photos taken, Wednesday, January 22 Anthony, Cerwin and I did a new job at Blessings (Leola) this time. Trimming Brussels sprouts was something we had never done before. The white bucket is for the trimmings that we were throwing away. You can see a good bag of Brussels sprouts just beyond Cerwin. The filled bags […]

More Snow Pictures
~~~ Monday, January 20 ~~~ By morning it had stopped snowing, and our road was open, but still snow covered. When examining the yard, we wondered what left these tracks – probably an animal that had to jump – because of the distance between each track. Facing east toward the back part of our yard. […]

The Morning After Sunday’s Snow
~~~ Monday, January 20 ~~~ I looked outside to see this beautiful view. I went outside for another view. From my outside position (next to the garage door), I looked up and saw a snow overhang. It was a nice, cold day to be able to stay inside after taking these pictures.
Sunday Snowstorm
~~~ January 19 ~~~ Sunday lunch was quite an experience because of the snowstorm. It was about a week ago that I invited three couples from church to join us for lunch, not knowing there would be a snowstorm. On Saturday, I called each couple to give them an opportunity to postpone the meal to […]
Mid-Winter Gospel Music Night
~~~ Friday, January 17 ~~~ We always enjoy the concerts that are held at New Covent Church, and this night was no different. They are scheduled several times a year. A bonus is the delicious food that is served. This time it was sausage sandwiches and chicken corn soup, plus coffee, donuts, sodas, water, and […]
Bare Trees
~~~ Photos taken – Wednesday, January 15 ~~~ For some reason I became fascinated with the bare trees that line our Pennsylvania landscape right now. It happens every fall and winter when the dying leaves can no longer resist gravity and wind. They are a reminder of the seasons on our yearly calendars, also the […]
Snowy Day Birds
~~~ Thursday, January 16 ~~~ Birds are always fun to watch when it snows. I put some peanuts out, which I like to do when it snows. This is not a feeder, but the small table between our patio chairs. That only works in winter. I also use the old, cracked birdbath for a feeder. […]
Winter Snows
It seems we have a light dusting to an inch or two of snow every week this winter. This snow happened during the afternoon of Thursday, January 16. Even if the snow isn’t deep, it keeps the snowplows busy keeping the roads salted so vehicles don’t encounter slippery roads. Now we await the next snow […]
An Interesting Day
~~~ Friday, January 17 ~~~ There are many ordinary days in the life of retired people like us, but not today. 🙂 First, I decided it was time to wash the laundry room floor mat, so put it in the washing machine with a few towels and wash cloths. When I opened the washer, the […]
Lunch with TFC Friends
~~~ Wednesday, January 15 ~~~ We enjoyed a delightful lunch with retired TFC friends. Cerwin took this picture, so I am first on the left, then Inge, Kathy, Peg, Bunny, and Sam. It is always so good to be together. We were at one of our favorite places – Knight & Day Diner. They have […]
