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 […]
I was blessed and in awe of the first sunrise of the year.
~~~ Friday Evening, January 6 ~~~ We have been working on going out with Roy and Deb – for his 2022 birthday – for quite a while. They wanted to get it in before the end of the year and planned a date here on December 30. Then Roy pulled a muscle in his back, […]
I have been watching Carolina Wrens from the time I knew anything about birds. I remember seeing them when I was young. I enjoy watching all birds and learning new things, or just being amazed at feather patterns – even in the most common birds. I know birds have tongues, but never thought much about […]
The last few days have felt like spring, so I went outside to see if there are any signs of things springing up from the ground. The trees certainly don’t give us signs of spring. I didn’t even find any bursting buds. The oak trees still have their old leaves from last year, with no […]
It was especially fun to capture this shot of him with two other birds – a Chickadee and House Finch. There was another male cardinal hanging out in the Dogwood tree. After spending some time in the colander, he moved to the tire feeder.
This was one of the last sunsets of 2022. The evening sky and shadows on our driveway captured my attention. It is amazing how quickly the sky changes during the transition of a sunset.
This scene happened right in front of us a few days ago when we were on our way home after visiting Cerwin’s brother Elvin and his wife Pat. (She recently had rotator cuff surgery and we found her doing well.) As first I thought the boys behind the carriage were riding their scooters at a […]
It was interesting to be editing these photos the day after listening to Genesis 1 and 2. The photos are from two of the last days of December. Last year I listened to the Bible chronologically for the first time in my life. I have read or listened to the Bible – Genesis to Revelation […]
~~~ Saturday, December 31 ~~~ I thought the all-day fog was appropriate for the last day of the year. It makes a good analogy of what we know about 2023. Not much. We will only know as we step into the year and just keep walking.

~~~ Friday, December 23 ~~~ We were enjoying the coziness of our home on a very cold, windy day before Christmas when – just like that – we lost our electricity. We called PPL (our electric company) to make sure they knew, and I took supper out of the oven and put it on top […]
~~~ Sunday, December 25 ~~~ There was a beautiful sunrise on our very cold Christmas morning. Our sanctuary windows were simply and beautifully decorated. If I had known what was going to happen in the worship service, I would have taken my camera to the balcony. During his message on “The Gospel According to the […]
~~~ Saturday Afternoon, December 24 ~~~ Jere and Kristen continued their Christmas tradition of taking their family, Roy and Deb and Cerwin and me to a Penn Cinema movie on Christmas Eve. This one was showing just after noon. Roy and his mom, Barb, stayed down front in the wheelchair area so she didn’t have […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, December 22 ~~~ Traffic was very slow and busy as we traveled to Lancaster on a rainy Christmas week evening. We thought we would be 10-15 minutes early and arrived at John J. Jeffries just one minute before our 5 pm reservation. I’m not quite sure why this is one of my […]
~~~ Thursday, December 22 ~~~ We actually had snow on the ground for the first time this season. Granted, it wasn’t very much, but it was snow. I took pictures because the forecast predicted that it would be gone in a few hours. The prediction was correct, because one hour later it was melting. I […]
