Highlights of Three Beautiful Days in July
July 22, 23, & 24 How is this for a Wednesday morning highlight – our great-grandson, Anthony, and his aunt, our granddaughter, Lydia? Anthony was here for a short time while his mom (Abby) ran a few errands. These three are cell phone pictures so we could send pictures to his grandma (Diane) in Maine. Love that […]
Evening Sky and Sunset
Tuesday Evening, July 21 It was a beautiful evening to be outside. When I saw the sun beginning to set, I knew I wanted to stay outside a bit longer. I’m glad I live in this beautiful countryside.
Night Lights
Friday evening, July 3 Our three youngest grandchildren were here for the evening, and just before dark decided to catch lightening bugs (maybe you call them fireflies). If you look closely, you can see a few lightening bugs in these pictures. I gave them each a plastic, deli container. When they were finished, they opened […]
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 […]
Morning Moon ~ Evening Moon
Saturday, March 7 The morning moon was brilliant at 6:00 AM. Two hours later the sun lit up the snow that was left in the fields. Icicles glittered. It was a great Saturday morning for snowmobiling. The bush is no longer totally covered with snow. By mid-afternoon the icicles were dripping. Some came lose from the […]
Beauty After The Snowstorm
Friday, March 6 The day after the snowstorm was sunny and pretty. Every thing dirty and dull was covered in white. Red-bellied Woodpecker – female. The male has a red head. Blue Jay Carolina Wren I would appreciate if these gray critters would only go to the ground and box feeders, but they enjoy emptying […]
Lunch With Roy & Deb
Sunday, January 11 We had a few things that belonged to Roy and Deb, so decided to meet them for lunch. Shortly after we arrived at RD’s, a friend of Roy & Deb’s came in and sat at the next table. Deb offered to hold their baby for a bit. She had been crying before Deb got […]
Blessed God, Israel’s God, the one and only wonder-working God!

Sky Lanterns
Hilltop Fun Fest at Slate Hill Mennonite Church ~ Continued The release of 100 sky lanterns was the grand finale of the Fun Fest evening. The church is located on a hill and was a great place for releasing the lanterns. A group from the church sang hymns as the lanterns drifted toward the sky. I […]
The Moon
The other night when the moon was bright, I went outside to get a picture. The position of the moon made it difficult to get a clear photo of it without being obstructed by tree branches. After I got a fairly good one, I realized that the moon would be pretty with tree branches in […]
I Love A Beautiful Sky
I was mesmerized by quickly moving clouds ~ a few days ago ~ with the backdrop of a beautiful blue sky. You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds. ~Henry David Thoreau The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the […]
Getting Ready For Snow
Almost everything about Monday, January 20, told us that snow was coming. The only thing that was a bit deceptive was the sunrise, but the snow was still hours away. By early afternoon sunshine was a rarity. Birds were busy most of the day. Squirrels took advantage of snow-free grass to search for shellbarks and acorns. We […]
