Long Shadows and Something to Ponder
~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
The Budweiser Clydesdales at Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market
~~~ Tuesday, June 25 ~~~ We saw this event on Facebook events and thought it would be a fun thing to do during a week that wasn’t very busy for us. Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market is near Hellam, PA – about 45 minutes from our house. The Clydesdales were under this large tent. The […]
Hershey Family Picnic – My Siblings and Their Families
~~~ Sunday, June 23 ~~~ Each year we have a good spread of food when our extended family gets together at our niece (Amy) and her husband’s (Kevin) place. Every household brings food items they chose from a meal organizer website. It was a warm day as we met in the old airplane hangar but […]
A New Birdbath
We’ve had this burgundy birdbath for many years and had no intention of changing it. But woke up to this scene a few days ago. Apparently, a raccoon tried to get a drink during the night – and I don’t blame it because we had a series of very hot days. It was probably using […]
Saying Goodbye to a Friend – Lunch – Hospital Visit
~~~ Monday, July 1 ~~~ Yesterday we went to West Nottingham Cemetery, Colora, Maryland, to say goodbye to our friend Betty Boyle. The entire service was held at her burial site. We appreciated spending a bit of time with her children, Kathy and Ken and a few grandchildren. It was especially meaningful to listen to […]
Amish Church
~~~ Sunday, June 23 ~~~ This time Amish church was at a home on our road. As far as I know they are the only Amish family who lives on our one-and-a-half-mile road. I took these pictures very quickly as we were driving to a family picnic. The house is on the corner of two […]
A Relaxing Bluegrass Evening
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 22 ~~~ We saw this event listed in local events on Facebook at Mount Gretna Tabernacle, and since we enjoy bluegrass, it caught our attention. It has been many years since we went to the Tabernacle – and it’s only 13 minutes from our house. We love being retired with time […]

Day Is Setting in the West and Something to Ponder
I love looking to the west on a warm summer evening. This time I noticed something glittering under the leaves (center), so zoomed in to check on the glitter. Looks like spiderwebs and lots of insets. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Manheim Central Class Reunion – 1961
~~~ Saturday, June 22 Gathering Place, Mount Joy, PA ~~~ I was pleased to hear that Dolly and Yonnie were planning a 63rd class reunion, when I met Dolly at a local grocery store last winter. It’s always fun to catch up with former classmates. Many times, it was helpful that we each wore a […]
Farm Wagon and Something to Ponder
This farm wagon captured my attention in the evening light. It was parked there just after the wheat harvest. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Hudson Botanical Cafe
~~~ Thursday, June 20 ~~~ We had been hearing about Hudson Botanical Cafe in Smoketown and thought it would be a fun thing to do with Diane while she was visiting. When Deb heard about it, she said, “Don’t go without me!” 🙂 Before we knew it, Roy and Deb decided to make it their […]
Orange Roses and Something to Ponder
Our tea roses are prolific this summer. They were a Mother’s Day gift from Jeff – maybe a dozen years ago. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Good Day for Walking
~~~ Monday, June 17 ~~~ These four great grandchildren took advantage of the opportunity to have a sleepover at our house – along with their Grammy. They wanted to walk to the farm. Our first stop was to see the chickens. Can you find the rooster? Renee wanted to get as close as possible. Our […]
Our Pretty Rhododendron and Something to Ponder
It felt like their blooming length was short this year, but the flowers were extremely beautiful. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
