The Pond on the Homestead Farm
This is for those who remember when the pond was dug during August of 2022 – from what was an old pond that had become a swampy-kind-of-mud-hole. This year’s January rains and snow have made if full to overflowing. It has been almost full for the past year, but now it is overflowing into the […]
A Pair of Swans, A Fountain and Something to Ponder
We noticed this swan while traveling home from a breakfast at Oregon Dairy. Then I saw there was another one behind the beautiful fountain. The one in the background doesn’t look very happy. I guess we were invading its territory. Swans are beautiful creatures! ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

Sportsman’s Expo
~~~ Saturday Evening, January 27 at Grace Point Church, Ephrata, PA ~~~ We like to go early enough to have time to visit the vendors. Western Kansas Outfitters had a beautiful dog that was trained for tracking. There were always too many people around it to get a picture. I think this gentleman has been […]

John J Jeffries for My Birthday Meal
~~~ January 21 ~~~ It was about two-and-a-half weeks early, but Mark and Diane were here from Maine, so Cerwin treated us to a delicious meal at one of my favorite restaurants. Left to right: Me, Cerwin, Roy, Deb, Jeff, Mark, Diane, Kristen and Jere. We think that the last time we were here for […]
Still Hanging On and Something to Ponder
This set of leaves amazed me. They ended up here during a windstorm last fall – in the dogwood tree on our patio. They are definitely not dogwood leaves, but probably from one of our hickory trees. Their kryptonite – the thing that weakened them – was the winter rain and wind of last week. […]
Playing Table Games
~~~ Sunday, January 21 ~~~ It was fun having Mark and Diane here for an extra day after Jordan and Nicole’s wedding. We chose to play a few table games on Sunday afternoon. First, we enjoyed a game of Rook, which none of us had played in a long time. They had to teach us […]

A Beautiful, Snowy Day and Something to Ponder
~~~ Saturday, January 6 ~~~ It’s a warm, rainy day (56 degrees) in Pennsylvania today, January 26, so it is fun going back twenty days to remember the snow of January 6. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Jordan and Nicole’s Wedding
We were delighted to add a new granddaughter to our family on Saturday, January 20. It was the day after a snowstorm. However, roads were open “mostly” and we didn’t hear of anyone who could not get to the wedding through the snow-covered back roads to Osbornia Farm, Quarryville, PA. We arrived about an hour […]

Manicures/Pedicures
~~~ Thursday Morning, January 18 ~~~ This is something I usually do about this time of year as part of my birthday celebration, so when Lydia (granddaughter) and Diane (daughter) invited me to go with them, I began the celebration three weeks early. 🙂 It was a great way for the three of us to […]
