A Bluebird Checking Out the New Bluebird House
Remember a few days ago (Nov 6) when our friend Glenn gave us a bluebird house? The bluebird house is not real close to our house and the timing of the sunlight wasn’t great, but we were excited to see that a bluebird discovered it. This was November 11. I hope it decides to nest […]

A 60th Birthday Party for Jeff – Given by His Children
~~~ Sunday Evening, November 10 ~~~ Several weeks ago Jeff’s children asked if they could have his birthday party in our garage. I loved having everyone here. His birthday was at the end of October. The apples and peanut butter dip were available before the meal – and Bennett took advantage of that. I loved […]
Bluejays and Peanuts
I know I will have some bluejay entertainment when I put peanuts in the feeder. Bluejays (at least our bluejays) don’t like sharing a feeder, so when one leaves another arrives. I watched as this happened over and over again. I don’t know how many bluejays picked up peanuts, but I saw four at a […]
Truck Show Benefit for Micah and Heidi Diffenderfer and Their Family
~~~ Saturday, November 9 ~~~ The day started early for Cerwin (he left the house at 7:30) to help Martin Refrigeration install the banner at the gate to the truck show. Jon and Linnea Martin asked him to help because he was familiar with the process due to the many years he assisted with the […]

A Bluebird House
~~~ Wednesday, November 6 ~~~ Our friend Glenn enjoys blessing people with bluebird houses. He supplies everything including the pipe and birdhouse. He and Cerwin installed it next to an old tree stump so Cerwin doesn’t have an extra thing to mow around. He builds a beautiful and sturdy birdhouse with a place to open […]
Our Woodlot Went from Fall to Winter
It is always surprising how quickly our trees and leaves go from peak colors of yellow, orange and red to winter with most of the leaves gone in just a few days.
My Secret Sister is Very Secret
~~~ Sunday, November 3 ~~~ What fun to find these items in our church mailbox. Everything was tied together with the thin rope in a very creative way. This note was in an envelope in pieces. I had to put the puzzle together to read her note. The trail mix is delicious. My favorite gift […]

Patriotic Sky
~~~ Sunday Morning, November 3 ~~~ It is rare for us to see hot air balloons, so we were pleased to see this one. For a while we thought it was going to land in the field across from us, but then it went higher and floated toward the south and out of sight.
Something Going on in Our Amish Community
This was probably the fourth or fifth horse and carriage we saw going by our house – and it was a Saturday – not a day for an Amish wedding. Maybe they were helping to prepare for something special. It is usual for us to see one or two because we have a few Amish […]
Bless Abby Day
~~~ Friday, November 1 ~~~ Our granddaughter Abby and her husband Nathaniel are expecting a baby in a few weeks (our 19th great grandchild). One day she mentioned to her sister Lydia that with a busy summer and fall, four other children, plus homeschooling, she was feeling rather unprepared for the baby. Lydia and Aunt […]
Bluebirds Bring Me Delight
I know I will see Eastern Bluebirds when I put mealy worms in the feeder.
