Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, April 19 May Apples in the woods behind our yard. Some wild violets in among the may apples. Tulips on the trash heap in the thick woods area. A neighbor was working in his field. Our dogwood trees are pretty this year. We have enjoyed our tulips. I brought a few inside. Then added a […]
Wednesday Evening, August 4 and Thursday, August 5 Reuben and Judi spent part of the evening (after their day in court) having fun with their children. The next morning I relaxed on our patio – with coffee, bread, and my Nook – where I keep my devotional readings. It is kind of difficult to concentrate […]
Friday Morning, July 10 Enjoy the scenery as we slowly travel over country roads. I missed my dad. He would have enjoyed this drive. This horse was as interested in me as I was of it. Oh, I enjoyed that. I hope you did too. ~~~ Our next stop will be Mount Hope Auction where the Ohio Truck Rally […]
Wednesday, February 25 We awoke to a certain “country scent” in the air after manure was spread on the field next to our house. Thankfully we did not smell it indoors. It is interesting that God created birds to love this kind of thing. That way, the corn and grain that was eaten by the cows becomes food […]

Monday, October 13 We call this the “Grandpa Tree” because our great-grandfather planted it in 1889 – making it 125 years old. Due to lightening strikes and grubs the old silver maple had deteriorated and needed to come down. This is our family homestead – the place my great-great grandpa bought for my great grandpa. Consequently it is where my […]
Thursday, October 9 I heard machinery outside and noticed that the soybeans across the road were being harvested. Someone had recently asked me to do some harvest photos for their business, so I thought this was a great opportunity. While waiting for the soybean harvester to get to the truck, I noticed corn harvest equipment coming […]
Thursday, October 9 When my brother Clair emailed me to say that he was in the area for a farm meeting with our brothers – and could he stop in. I asked if we could do lunch. He liked the idea, and because neither of us had been at the Farm Show in a long time, […]
We have been looking at tall, beautiful corn all summer. This year we were surrounded by corn fields. It is kind of nice, because it gives us a feeling of isolation. That began to change on Monday morning. We again have a window with a view – if we look to the south. At this point nothing […]
