Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
It was a delight to be outside on Wednesday morning, May 1, and take in the beauty of a new day. Our family homestead is less than a quarter of a mile away. As I looked toward the east the woodsy area of our lot looked like it was on fire.

The sold-out audience listened intently and applauded appropriately throughout the evening. The photo on the screen appears to be […]
Our white dogwood tree was pretty this year, producing pretty flowers. I brought a twig inside for a few days. It looked pretty on the windowsill at our kitchen sink. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

We had 26 cousins (and spouses) in attendance at Knight and Day Diner, Lititz, PA, on Wednesday, April 24. Probably one of the best attendances we’ve had recently. This time I took the pictures while our cousin Larry offered the prayer. I don’t think anyone noticed that I was taking pictures. Later Cerwin said, “You […]
The weeping cherry blossoms are “over the hill” but the regular flowering tree is in full bloom. The other day when I was outside it was quite breezy, meaning it was snowing pink blossoms. There are pink blossoms everywhere.
A pretty robin at one of our suet feeders. Nice weather brings out neighborhood walkers. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
~~~ Monday, April 22 ~~~ Internet photo from Blessings of Hope We started Cerwin’s birthday by volunteering at Blessings of Hope – the East Petersburg Warehouse – where we prepared chopped carrots and sweet potatoes for dehydration. These will go into a dehydrated soup mix that will be sent to a variety of places around […]
~~~ Sunday, April 21 ~~~ Deb, Roy, Jeff, Jere and Kristen.

I served the salad and cheese steaks while the stromboli stayed hot in the oven. Cerwin, Barb, Deb and Roy. Barb opened […]
