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.
Mel’s 80th Birthday Party
~~~ Sunday, October 21 ~~~ Mel (red shirt) talking to their grandson Jeremy. Peyton (niece) and Velda (Mel’s wife and Cerwin’s sister) talking. There were delicious snacks, including, cake and ice cream. Mel and Velda’s children – Dorretta, Donald, Denise – made sure the snack dishes were always filled. We enjoyed visiting with people we […]
My Evening View
It’s the time of year when we get to see sunsets from our front windows again. Oh, how delightful for us.
My Morning View
I love this morning view each fall as our two tall Hickory trees turn yellow. They are especially pretty as the sun is coming up and shining on them.
TFC Old Guard Luncheon

Left to Right: Cerwin, Sam Marianne, Peg, Bunny, Joe, Jeff, Kathy, and Inge. From the other end of the table. Bunny, Joe, Jeff, Kathy, Inge, Cerwin, Sam, Marianne, […]
Leaves
This is what the grass looks like on the woodlot side of our house these days – lots of leaves. You can see a variety of leaves: hickory, maple, oak and cherry. At the moment, this Shagbark Hickory is the most colorful tree in our yard. “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” L. […]
Secret Sisters Luncheon at White Oak Church
~~~ Sunday, October, 13 ~~~ I have never been involved in this activity at church because of our busy lives with Transport For Christ. I no longer have that excuse since we retired. Because we are on the Spiritual Enrichment and Caring Committee at church for another three years (a committee who reaches out to […]
Breakfast With Friends
~~~ Saturday, October 12 ~~~ It was a beautiful morning as we drove toward the Ole Hickory area of Lancaster during sunrise. George, Marv (we call him Tex), Ronnie, Marv, Cerwin, Gene, Betty (Gene’s wife), Eloise (Marv’s wife). When Cerwin writes “Mountain Raiders” on the calendar, I know we will be having breakfast with some […]
Soybeans
The other day – when it was warm and sunny – I decided to venture out to the end of our driveway and check on the soybean field across the road. The field is now yellow with the maturing crop. Many fields in our area are already brown with drying beans. This field was planted […]
Cerwin’s Siblings at Centerville Diner #2
~~~ Thursday Evening, October 10 ~~~ It is a special occasion for us when all four siblings can be together, because Bob and Doris live in Minnesota. It only happens when they are visiting in Lancaster County. Elvin and Pat arrived first and asked if we could have a table in their back room. It […]
Fall Is Creeping Into Our Woodlot
Yellow and orange leaves are beginning to show in our trees. As I was walking through our yard taking pictures, this green Hickory nut fell to the ground right in front me. That’s another sign of Fall. On beautiful days like this, Fall is a welcome sight.
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Nicole Elizabeth

Birthday Supper
Last night we enjoyed a Two Cousin’s Restaurant supper with Nate, Emmy, and Lauree. This was for Nate’s 2024 birthday. The picture was taken when we were enjoying ice cream. Nate had a Caesar Salad, Cerwin and Lauree enjoyed strombolis and I had a taco salad. Their youngest girl, Lainey, slept through supper. Afterwards we […]
The Cornfields Surrounding Our House
~~~ Wednesday, October 9 ~~~ It’s a beautiful breezy day here in northern Lancaster County. I went outside to get some pictures of the cornfield below our yard. You will notice that the beautiful green corn has quickly changed to brown tones. Because the farmer has allowed it to brown tells me that this will […]
