~~~ Tuesday, April 23 ~~~ I love this springtime ritual in the fields in front of our house. It means the cows and other cattle will have some healthy rye inserted into their feeding program.
~~~ Thursday, April 25 ~~~ After visiting our friend Mary at Ephrata Manor (a senior nursing facility) I asked Cerwin if we could check on what I call “The Ephrata Eagle Nest”. Even before getting to the nest we saw one of the residents on a nearby tree. The sun was not in the right […]

Our old azalea bush is exceptionally pretty this year. We have a few smaller ones as well that also are attempting to match it (see background). ~~~ 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 […]

I love when I can watch field activity for the farm crops. Spraying crops is definitely one of those activities. About a week later I watched as the winter cover crop of rye was cut. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
~~~ Tuesday, April 8 ~~~ If you look closely, you can see a drip of water on its beak – in each photo. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
It was fun to keep up with Nathan’s (grandson) archery elk hunt last fall, especially after he had this beautiful 7 x 7 elk on the ground. These guys hunt on their own – without a guide – but they do a lot of research before going. If you want to know more about their […]
