Tall Corn
When I saw a horse and buggy going by our house on Sunday morning, I grabbed my camera to see how tall the corn is this year. Last year I could see the top of the horse’s head, but not this year. The corn is too tall. They are on a road. Our area has […]
Jazzy’s Birthday Party
~~~ Friday Evening, August 2 ~~~ Before going to the house, we went to Nathaniel’s new, large shop. It makes a great place for bikes and scooters – especially when Aunt Adrielle is there. Anthony, Renee, Adrielle, with Jazzy pushing. Natalie When arriving at the house we met their new kittens. Nathaniel had just begun […]
Sauder Cousin’s Quarterly Lunch
~~~ Wednesday, July 31 Knight and Day Restaurant, Ltitz, PA ~~~ We had a large group this time. We counted 29. I took photos from several directions so those who could not be there can see their cousins. Our Knight and Day waiter did an amazing job of serving us.
Watch Out, There Is a Tree Coming Toward the House!
~~~ Saturday, August 3 ~~~I I am going to back up a bit to a previous rain and windstorm that happened earlier in the week. Our son Jeff came to our place about 9:45 am yesterday (Saturday) to remove a few large branches that fell from that storm. I took this picture about 3:44 pm […]
Swimming at Refreshing Mountain

Pretty Things and Old Things
~~~ Monday, July 29 ~~~ You may remember that I posted these two pictures next to the old garage (build in 1912) at my family’s homestead about a week ago. During a break from processing corn (yesterday’s post), I took time to take a few more pictures on the homestead. From this perspective, the garage […]

Several others had already arrived – Amy (Karen’s sister), Larry, Marlin and Nancy (Karen’s parents & my sister), Fern (Larry’s mom) partially hidden. Husking was the first […]

Elvin and Pat’s camper is on the right, Bryan’s on the left. They shared this “buddy spot” for several weekends. Pinch […]
Watching Field Corn Grow
The scenery outside our window changes almost daily as the corn grows. You may remember this picture from June 4 when the corn in the fields next to our house was planted. One month later – July 5. I started this series of pictures to see how long it would take the corn to grow […]
Flowers and an Old Garage
I see this scene each time we are traveling home from the south. One day it caught my attention and I determined to stop some day and get a few pictures. I did that yesterday. Old records of the farm tell us this garage was built in 1912 when my Great Grandpa Jacob Hershey bought […]
