Patriotic Sky
~~~ Sunday Morning, November 3 ~~~ It is rare for us to see hot air balloons, so we were pleased to see this one. For a while we thought it was going to land in the field across from us, but then it went higher and floated toward the south and out of sight.
Something Going on in Our Amish Community
This was probably the fourth or fifth horse and carriage we saw going by our house – and it was a Saturday – not a day for an Amish wedding. Maybe they were helping to prepare for something special. It is usual for us to see one or two because we have a few Amish […]
Bless Abby Day
~~~ Friday, November 1 ~~~ Our granddaughter Abby and her husband Nathaniel are expecting a baby in a few weeks (our 19th great grandchild). One day she mentioned to her sister Lydia that with a busy summer and fall, four other children, plus homeschooling, she was feeling rather unprepared for the baby. Lydia and Aunt […]
Bluebirds Bring Me Delight
I know I will see Eastern Bluebirds when I put mealy worms in the feeder.
A Foggy Sunrise and Sun-Kissed Impatiens
It is the time of year when sunrises are visible from our house windows, and with the corn harvested from the field in front of the house, sunrises are taking my breath away again. As I turned toward the house, I noticed how the morning sun highlighted a few of our impatiens.
A Busy Day in Our Neighborhood
~~~ Tuesday, October 29 ~~~ It was shortly after noon when I heard the corn harvester in the field next to our yard. Before long the smaller corn harvester head was dropped and exchanged for a larger one for harvesting soybeans across the road. Notice the small harvester head in the field and the trailer […]
Sauder Cousin’s Lunch
~~~ Wednesday, October 30 ~~~ Walter Kolb (standing) praying for our meal. There were 22 of us this time. It was good to see our cousin Gloria (left in pink). She and her husband moved back to Pennsylvania after living in Ohio for many years. To the cousins. Our next lunch is January 29, 2025, […]
Sunrise
It is delightful to see the sunrises from our house again as we enter the late fall season. Notice the short stubby branches on the left side of the tree on the right. That happened because another tree was crowding out those branches. We had that tree cut down a few weeks ago. It will […]

Pretty View
This view from our window seemed like a beautiful scene to capture.
Fall Scenes on a Back Road
We took soup and a slice of grape pie to a friend, then went to a Christian bookstore to get new giant print Bibles for our old eyes. 🙂 Many of the leaves are beyond peak in our area, but we still found a few pretty trees while traveling home. Fall is so beautiful to […]
Lunch with Jeff for His 60th Birthday
Lunch at Two Cousin’s Restaurant – Jeff and Cerwin. You know we are old when our oldest child is 60! We had a great time catching up on each other’s lives. Cerwin and Jeff each had a cheesesteak stromboli. I had a most delicious cheese pizza. Every now and then I get hungry for a […]
Bluegrass Concert
~~~ Saturday Evening, October 26 New Covenant Mennonite Church, New Holland, PA ~~~ We thoroughly enjoyed this bluegrass/gospel concert. It was the first time we heard J-Tyme, a local, very talented family. Authentic Unlimited from Hartford, Tennessee. The local group – Tru Vintage – the group that puts these concerts together. Tru Vintage recently discovered […]
The Leaves Are Coming Down in Abundance
This is a sign that peak colors are over for most of the trees in our woodlot.
The Fall Focal Point in Our Woodlot
October 22 These two Shagbark Hickory trees seem to be the highlight of our woodlot each fall because they stand tall and together in the front of our yard, while many others are just as pretty, but they are a mix of many trees that stand next to or behind our house. October 23 I […]
