Ladies Fellowship Brunch at White Oak Church
~~~ Saturday, March 25 ~~~ It was late last fall when I said yes to speaking at this event at our home church. This was the invitation that went out earlier this year. It’s amazing how quickly an event arrives when you are invested in studying and speaking. 🙂 I arrived early to get some […]
Flowers and Praying for You Notes
Many of my family, church family and friends knew I was preparing to speak at White Oak Church’s Ladies Fellowship Brunch on Saturday, March 25 and had been sending emails, messages, calling or telling me in person that they were praying for me. I was especially blessed when our daughter-in-law Kristen stopped in on March […]
Nighttime Thunderstorm
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 23 7:32 pm ~~~ It’s been a while since we heard the sound of thunder – especially at night. This may look a bit like snow, but it is rain. I captured the shot by using a flash. 🙂
Early Morning Raccoon
~~~ Monday, March 20 3:19 am ~~~ I should have known that one of our neighborhood raccoons would show up because I just filled the feeders and suet. It almost totally cleaned up one suet then ate the extra stuff that fell on the ground. They certainly have the look of a bandit. 🙂 The […]
Sunset and a Funny Happening
~~~ Monday, March 20 6:07 pm ~~~ It was certainly worth going outside to capture these pictures of the western sky. It almost looked like fire in the sky. As I walked back toward the house, I noticed how pretty the patio daffodils looked with the evening sun on them. Then I made the mistake […]
Preparation for Crops
~~~ Monday, March 20 7:58 am ~~~ It’s always interesting to see what will happen in the field across the road from us. It appears that something is being sprayed on the field. We just watch and wait – and enjoy. Notice the cherry tree in our yard is budding (upper right). The dogwood tree […]
New Deacons for Our Congregation

In this photo our moderator, Dave Wenger, is asking them the questions that apply to serving as deacon couples. Left: Tanya and Cole […]

Goldfinches in March
~~~ Monday, March 13 3:00 pm ~~~ For some reason I didn’t see their change in color this year. I often notice the molt that changes the male goldfinch from a dull yellowish green to this brilliant yellow. So, imagine my surprise when I looked out the window and saw this beautiful bird. A few […]
A Lunch to Honor Roy’s Retirement
~~~ Saturday, March 11 11:00 am Olive Garden ~~~ Because Roy’s sister Mary was visiting from Florida we planned this lunch to see her and honor Roy’s retirement. You know you are getting old when one of your sons-in-law is retired. He said he is loving every minute of retirement. Gotta love an Olive Garden […]
The Potter’s House Banquet
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 9 Shady Maple 6:30 pm ~~~ If I remember correctly Lanny told us there were more than 470 people who registered for the banquet and we didn’t see many empty seats. Shady Maple is known for their good and plentiful food – and we weren’t disappointed. We heard from several people […]
Time to Prepare the Fields for Crops
~~~ Thursday, March 9 ~~~ A sure sign that spring is coming.
Feathers
These are a few samples of feather designs from birds that were at our feeders in the past few weeks. God was so creative when he designed birds.
