Downys at Our Suet
I love watching these pretty birds at our suet. When there is no red spot of feathers on the back of its head, it is a female. I found a few fun facts about Downy Woodpeckers. They are known as a symbol of bravery and hard work. They have special features surrounding their nostrils that […]
Morning Canvas by God
~~~ Wednesday, January 11 7:38 am ~~~ Watching a sunrise is better than visiting any art museum!
A Photogenic Cardinal
~~~ Wednesday, January 11 4:43 pm ~~~ Cardinals can be flighty and rarely welcome my presence at the window, but this one just kept on posing – giving me time to try a few different camera settings. A fun fact about Cardinals: The Northern Cardinal’s name dates back to the time of the United States […]
Lunch Date with “Old” TFC Friends

A Changing Sunrise

Some Things Just Make My Heart Smile
Like bright morning sunshine on our decorative grasses. When the nighttime moon is still hanging around in the morning sky. There are also recent things that made my heart smile. Things that I didn’t or couldn’t photograph: ~~~ Last week – after having a routine check-up at Campus Eye – I was told there was […]
Today’s Unique Sunrise – Included a Rainbow
~~~ Tuesday, January 17 ~~~ The brilliant sky hid the fact that light rain or snow was predicted within minutes. I reminded Cerwin that a red sky in the morning is a sailor’s warning. When I came back from taking these pictures – through a guestroom window, Cerwin said, “Did you see the rainbow in […]
A Dark-eyed Junco on a Windy Day
It was resting on a shepherd’s hook when a gust of wind came along and ruffled its feathers. Then the wind stopped, and it could relax until the next gust of wind. An Interesting fact about dark-eyed juncos: They form monogamous pairs (that mate for a lifetime) and produce 2 to 3 broods per season.
An Early Morning Visitor
~~~ Tuesday, January 10 4:45 am ~~~ Each morning – after getting a coffee cup out of the cupboard – I look out the window to see what is happening at the feeders. On occasion I see a skunk, opossum or raccoon. On this cold morning it was fun to see a nice raccoon eating […]

Traveling to a Celebration of Life for a TFC Friend
~~~ Monday, January 9 ~~~ We woke to a beautiful dusting of snow on Monday morning. The morning moon was also bright and beautiful. I said to Cerwin that our two-hour drive to Sunbury, PA, should be pretty – and it was. However, we were surprised to discover that we had more snow in our […]
I Never Tire of Watching Them Go by Our House
This one was really moving.
A Birthday Lunch with Donovan, Diana and Their Boys
~~~ Sunday, January 8 ~~~ Diana (our granddaughter) has been trying to get in her 2022 Birthday meal for several weeks, but it seemed something always hindered it. She and Donovan were doing a lot of local hunting – and did fill their freezer with venison – then there were several Christmas meals. Finally, we […]
Counted Cross Stitch
It had been a few months since I updated you on what I was working on in my counted cross stitch projects. Last fall I told you that all I had left to do on the raccoon was the background. Backgrounds are nice to do in the evening, but a solid background can also be […]
