Brethren Disaster Relief Auction – Variety
~~~ Friday Morning, September 23 ~~~ It’s always important for my taste buds to get an order of French fries after the heifer auction. 🙂 They were my brunch. After savoring each French fry, I walked into the craft auction arena to check out the many items that were displayed. I am always amazed at […]
Brethren Disaster Relief Auction – Heifer and Pole Barn Auctions
~~~ Friday, September 23 11:00 AM Lebanon Valley Expo Center and Fairgrounds, Lebanon, PA ~~~ Heifer Auction Maybe it’s because I grew up on a dairy farm, but I enjoy seeing heifers and cows – especially the black and white Holsteins.

Things I Saw on an Evening Walk
~~~ Friday, September 16 ~~~ During this walk, I purposed to stop and look more closely at things along the road and in our yard. I noticed a very sorry looking milkweed plant and because Monarch caterpillars love milkweed leaves, I looked more closely. Sure enough there were two who were eating every piece of […]
Share the Harvest
~~~ Sunday, September 25 ~~~ This is the bouquet we chose at the Share the Harvest table at church on Sunday morning. I love what Mary Kathryn is using as the flowers in her garden are winding down for the season. This one includes mint. The other side.

~~~ Lunch at Yoder’s on Tuesday, September 20 ~~~ Cerwin’s sister Velda called a few days earlier to see if we wanted to join them and Lowell and Elaine when they met at Yoder’s Restaurant to celebrate their birthdays.

Walking Beside the Corn
~~~ Friday, September 16 4:10 pm ~~~ The beautiful late afternoon called me to go outside with my camera. This cornfield is just below our house and along the road where I walk on nice afternoons. The corn tassels have done their job and produced the pollen that encourages the growth and ripening of the […]
Church Fellowship Meal
~~~ Sunday Evening, September 18 5 pm ~~~ We got there just about 5 pm which was the arrival time for the meal at LAMS (Lititz Area Mennonite School) and watched as people arrived and arranged the hot food, salads and desserts in their proper place. Several watched from the stage (right) as more and […]
An Anniversary Gift
~~~ Saturday, September 17 ~~~ Jere came over in the early afternoon to give us cheesecake that Kristen made for our anniversary a few days earlier. Two slices were vanilla and the other two were raspberry. I told Cerwin to not touch it before I got a photo. 🙂 If you think you have tasted […]

Caterpillar With a Purpose
~~~ Friday, September 16 4:25 pm ~~~ While walking around the yard I noticed this caterpillar on our driveway who was focused on going somewhere. It didn’t seem bothered that I was nearby. It kept on moving toward its goal. I should have followed it to see where it was going in such a hurry.

Share the Harvest Sunday
~~~ September 18 ~~~ Because we have been blessed by those who brought fresh garden or field items to church for sharing, we waited until it was time to go home this week before checking out the “Share the Harvest” table in the fellowship hall. This beautiful bouquet was still there, so we brought it […]
Mushrooms in Our Yard
~~~ Wednesday Afternoon September 14 3:28 PM ~~~ I haven’t seen many mushrooms this summer – probably because it has been so dry. These surfaced after our 3″ rain a few days earlier. I almost missed these two because they were hidden under the ground cover in the flowerbed. I enjoy seeing the individuality of […]
