An Afternoon with Marlin and Nancy
~~~ Wednesday, February 1 2:30 pm ~~~ We always have a good day when we go out with my sister and her husband. It was our turn to choose a destination and restaurant. This time we chose a private location where we knew we could see a few young deer before they are released into […]
A Hairy Woodpecker Visited Our Suet
~~~ Sunday, January 29 4:00 pm ~~~ Hairy Woodpeckers are not a rare visitor – we see them on occasion – while we see Downys almost every day. The Hairy is almost identical to the Downy except it is larger and has a longer beak. When you see one, you know it is not a […]

Sportsmen’s Expo
~~~ Saturday, January 28 4:00 pm Grace Point Church, Ephrata, PA ~~~ We arrived early and looked at the displays before the 1st seminar. I started with a taxidermist display of wild turkey.

This is what it looks like now. Â The fall and winter rains and snow have filled the pond – and the spring – which […]

The Raccoon is Framed and Ready for Delivery
This project started with this photo (above) from our daughter Deb who asked me to stitch it. I picked it up at the framer last week. There is nothing more difficult than trying to get a photo of something that has been framed and behind glass. There is always a reflection or something that makes […]

I Want to Be Like Sam When I Grow Up
~~~ Thursday, January 26 11:00 am ~~~ Sam Rittenhouse with his brand-new 2023 truck. We knew he had gotten this truck a few days earlier and Cerwin was thinking about an excuse to see it. I suggested that we go to his house and ask him to take us out for lunch – and tell […]
Two Days of Snow this Week
~~~ Monday, January 23 and Wednesday, January 25 ~~~ Monday’s snow didn’t amount to much – just a dusting on the landscape. Wednesday’s snow was a different matter. It began snowing about 11 am and continued for two and a half hours. This guy almost took my breath away when I looked out the window […]

I Thought a Sunrise Would Brighten a Cloudy, Snowy Day!
We had about 3 inches of snow today, so I chose these pictures from several days ago when I noticed the early morning sun hiding behind one of our trees.
