A Foggy Sunrise and Sun-Kissed Impatiens
It is the time of year when sunrises are visible from our house windows, and with the corn harvested from the field in front of the house, sunrises are taking my breath away again. As I turned toward the house, I noticed how the morning sun highlighted a few of our impatiens.
A Busy Day in Our Neighborhood
~~~ Tuesday, October 29 ~~~ It was shortly after noon when I heard the corn harvester in the field next to our yard. Before long the smaller corn harvester head was dropped and exchanged for a larger one for harvesting soybeans across the road. Notice the small harvester head in the field and the trailer […]

Sunrise
It is delightful to see the sunrises from our house again as we enter the late fall season. Notice the short stubby branches on the left side of the tree on the right. That happened because another tree was crowding out those branches. We had that tree cut down a few weeks ago. It will […]

Pretty View
This view from our window seemed like a beautiful scene to capture.
Fall Scenes on a Back Road
We took soup and a slice of grape pie to a friend, then went to a Christian bookstore to get new giant print Bibles for our old eyes. 🙂 Many of the leaves are beyond peak in our area, but we still found a few pretty trees while traveling home. Fall is so beautiful to […]

The Leaves Are Coming Down in Abundance
This is a sign that peak colors are over for most of the trees in our woodlot.
The Fall Focal Point in Our Woodlot
October 22 These two Shagbark Hickory trees seem to be the highlight of our woodlot each fall because they stand tall and together in the front of our yard, while many others are just as pretty, but they are a mix of many trees that stand next to or behind our house. October 23 I […]

Babysitting
~~~ Wednesday, October 23 ~~~ Abby had places to be and asked if their children could spend a few hours with us. I was glad we had an open day. It had been about a month and a half since we had them. The children wanted pancakes for lunch, and since I didn’t have a […]
Our Woodlot on Sunday, October 20
It’s starting to look a lot like fall.
The Few Flowers That Are Left in Our Flowerbed
Zonal Geranium Wax Begonia Woodland Sunflower The first three are in pots next to our house. I am always happy to see our Garden Mum. I bought it about 5 years ago, not knowing that it was hearty and would continue blooming each fall.
