~~~ 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 […]
~~~ 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. […]
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 […]
~~~ 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 […]
~~~ 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 […]

~~~ Saturday, January 11 ~~~ It was interesting to watch a Red-bellied Woodpecker eating suet in our old (cracked and leaking) birdbath. It has become a suet feeder for the birds for the winter. The large birds seem to like this new feeder. He looked pretty against the newly fallen snow. Then I noticed a […]

I was on the treadmill the other day when I looked out the window and saw this. I did a double take and thought, “We don’t have a little tree there.” Then I realized it was just a branch that must have landed at a perfect angle to stick into frozen ground. 🙂

I like how it glowed on our driveway.
Today, January 9 I knew it was cold and windy before I went to the mailbox to pay a bill. I am still getting co-pay bills from my time in the hospital in early October. 🙂 At least it was only a small co-pay, but one that needed a check. I was able to pay […]
I took these pictures on January 3. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
I took this picture on January 3. It looks similar to this today, except the driveway is snow-covered right now. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
~~~ Monday, January 6 ~~~ We didn’t get as much snow as some other areas. Cerwin thought we got about 2 inches. The snowplow person faithfully kept our road open and free of slippery snow and ice. It seemed like a good day to make tomato soup. We had some for lunch, I put a […]
