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 […]
Last Rose of Summer
The other day I was working on our patio flowerbed – pulling weeds, cutting back our Lily of the Valley and trimming the miniature rose bush – in preparation for colder weather and noticed this rose. It was so pretty that I brought it indoors so I could see it closeup for a few days. […]
Evening
~~~ Going Home from Blackworth Restaurant Wednesday, September 14 7:02 PM ~~~ Don’t miss the dog. Facing west about the same time I took the previous photo. Evening is a beautiful time when you live in the country.
Birthday Meal for Deb at Blackworth Restaurant
~~~ Wednesday Evening, September 14 5 PM ~~~ This is a fairly new restaurant in Lititz – in the old Wilbur Chocolate Factory. I was glad Deb chose this because we had never been there. The live fire grill was across the room from us. I was testing the lighting because of the window in […]
This Week’s Share the Harvest
~~~ Sunday, September 11 ~~~ There were a variety of flower arrangements on the “Share the Harvest” table at church this week. This is the one that we have been enjoying.
I Love to Breath in the Air on These Late Summer Mornings
~~~ 6:42 AM ~~~ The grass is soft and green since last week’s rain – instead of dry and a bit crunchy The mornings are still warm, but slightly cooler with a hint of fall in the air. There is a bit of fog some mornings which highlights the gold on the corn tassels. Don’t […]
1963-2022 = 59 Years!
I will praise you each day and always honor your name. Psalm 145:2 CEV
Surprising a Great Blue Heron
~~~ Friday, September 9 2:48 PM ~~~ We saw a heron at the farm pond earlier in the day, so stopped to see if it was still there when we came home. At first, we thought it was gone then there it was right in front of us – instead of in back of the […]
Parade of Old Cars
~~~ Friday Afternoon, September 9 ~~~ It was a beautiful afternoon as we traveled home from the visitation for a friend’s father who had died several days earlier. We didn’t think much about it when we saw an old car heading toward us as we approached a village near our house. Then we saw another, […]
Just Part of a Sunset
This was all I could see of the sunset the other evening when I went to the kitchen window – just before going to bed.
Counted Cross-stitch
Though I officially retired from Transport for Christ/TFC Global earlier this year, I immediately went into a busy schedule as I delved into the history of our church’s congregation for the celebration on August 20 & 21. Now that the celebration is over, I can focus on things I planned to do in retirement – […]
Rain!
~~~ Monday, September 5 3:52 PM ~~~ After a summer of very little rain in our area, we looked to these late afternoon, gray skies with hope. Weather forecasts promised us a significant amount of water, but we had heard that before – then only received a sprinkling or maybe at best a quarter of […]
Share the Harvest
~~~ Sunday, September 4 ~~~ After two Sundays of being occupied with our congregation’s 250th anniversary, I had time to go to the fellowship hall this past week to see what was on the “Share the Harvest” table. When I saw these pretty, deep red cockscomb flowers, I didn’t hesitate in taking one of the […]
American Music Theatre
~~~ Saturday, September 3 2:00 PM ~~~ It has been a long time since we attended a gospel concert and even longer since we were at American Music Theatre near Lancaster. I didn’t catch the name of the man who opened the afternoon with fabulous instrumentals. When a promoter (who knows us from TFC Truck […]
