The Day After The Rain
Friday, August 21 The morning was beautiful – the day after the rain. Raindrops were still hanging to the leaves. Somebody was busy during the night. By evening the sky “called” me to the outside. I couldn’t get enough of this sky. It won’t be many days before this corn will be in storage bins, so […]
Rain and a Loud Noise
Monday, August 17 It was an interesting, very local, quick rainfall. Neighbors less than a mile away didn’t receive more than a few drops while we had a nice afternoon rain – about a quarter inch. The yard was ready for a refresher – and could have used more. I heard a loud noise that I thought was […]
The End of July
A pretty cardinal An afternoon rain A beautiful orange “blue moon” I love beautiful birds, summer rain, and the moon coming up over a corn field.
Afternoon Rain
Saturday, Afternoon, July 18 After the grandchildren went home from Cousin’s Week, we had a beautiful afternoon shower (we could use one of those rains again). It was a rare sun rain – which means the sun never stopped shining. Then, a short time later, we had a beautiful sunset. I love when it rains […]
Beauty in Ohio Amish Country
Friday Morning, July 10 We woke up to a warm, drizzly morning in Berlin, Ohio I walked one mile on the motel treadmill (while Cerwin watched the news in our room) before exploring the gardens and area around our motel. The outside entrance to our room. The patio area. Though the rain had stopped, many leaves and […]
The Sky & A Bird
May 31 to June 8 Passing storms created some beautiful skies in late May and early June. The birds are enjoying our beautiful warm weather. Getting ready to take off. You again? I thought if I came back on this side of the feeder you wouldn’t find me. Spraying the no-till corn field. Soon we […]
Rain
Wednesday, May 27 I don’t always make a big deal out of an afternoon thunderstorm, but we needed a good rain. Oh, yes! I just had to go outside and enjoy the scent of a spring rain. It was bouncing off our driveway. There were muddy puddles in the back yard near the woods. I rarely watch rain coming […]
Happenings Around Here
March 24 to April 2 Spreading manure on the field to our south. Back to the manure pit Then back to the field The crops should grow well this summer! Two days later a rather ominous looking storm came through and made sure the manure was firmly soaked into the soil. The rain didn’t last long, […]
A Rainy Kind Of Day
Saturday, March 14Many of you saw robins long before I did. March 14 was the first day for me this year. It was a rainy, cool day which quickly melted the many inches of snow that was on the ground. We left the house in the late morning – to have lunch with Cerwin’s mother. My […]
Rain & Snow
We have had a lot of cloudy, rainy, snowy days in December. The rain The snow Yes, there are many more pictures of the snow. Snow is so much prettier to photograph.
Another Evening ~ Another Rainbow
Wednesday, July 9 It was a beautiful, warm evening when we noticed rain coming from the southwest. Before long we could see a definite line as the rain approached us. I stood under the roof that extends beyond our house and enjoyed the beautiful, rainy atmosphere. After going back in the house, I “felt” the rainbow before I saw […]
Rain & Sunshine ~ Flowers & Birds
Photos taken from June 12 to 18. A beautiful, rainy morning. I love summer rain. Yarrow Summer sunshine is just as nice ~ especially when it highlights our flowers. Yarrow We even have a garden this year – one tomato plant. 🙂 It is looking healthy and is starting to bloom. Our mint tea bed died last […]
Springtime In Our Yard
Spring is usually the only time of year I see a rose-breasted grosbeak. Hostas are prettiest when they are new. The woods behind us is filled with wild flowers and new growth. Several years ago we planted a few ferns. Now we have lots of them. I love seeing them uncurl. They look like fiddleheads. […]
A Rainy Day
It seems strange to post pictures of a cold rainy day on one of the warmest, sunniest days of the year, but that is what came up next in my file of recent pictures. Wet hyacinth Wet goldfinches Male cardinals are beautiful whether wet or dry. I should have sunnier pictures for tomorrow night.
Springtime Variety
Early April I am enjoying springtime more than ever ~ after the l-o-n-g winter… …and seeing flowers with fresh joy. Sunshine on flowers is delighting my eyes. Early one morning a pair of mallards came waltzing through our yard ~ also aware that it is springtime. Cerwin raking and picking up thousands of nuts and shells from our shellbark trees ~ left behind […]
More Of Our Country Winter
Friday, January 24 Red-bellied woodpecker Carolina wren Downy woodpecker She must have sensed something that sounded like danger. Black-eyed junco You can see by her feathers that it was a breezy day. I wonder what she was looking at? Our day closed with another pretty winter sunset.
Interesting Weather
This has been a week of interesting weather – warm, cold, rain, sun, and snow. It was so warm on Sunday – when our Pennsylvania children and grandchildren were here for a Christmas celebration – that we opened windows in the kitchen. By Monday morning it was raining – and still fairly warm . By […]
Rain!
The other week (October 7-10) we thought that it may never stop raining. About the time we thought there was going to be a break in the weather, it began to rain all over again. The Manheim Farm Show even had to cancel some of its activities. We do not live in an area that floods, […]
Various – Diverse – Manifold – Different
These words are all synonyms of the word miscellaneous – which is a perfect description for this entry of recent happenings in our lives. I received this photo of our granddaughter Lydia (from Maine) and the taggy blanket she made for a little boy – the son of a secretary at VoTech where she attends. I never heard of a taggy blanket, […]
