In Memory of my brother Nathanel........I miss him and would love to chat with him! 6 years now since he is gone to be with Lord

Seasons

I am enjoying the change of seasons around me..this fall has been very colorful! Reminds me that we also have seasons in our lives and no matter where we are at in our lives God is there for us no matter what. Thanking God for blessings, life and friends today :)

Zucchini and Squash did much better this year than last!

Red beets - ate them all and had none to can so that is high on list for next year

































Tomatoes are one of my favorites

Weekend in PA - June

We went to Nita parents place in PA in June and had a great time

Here is a view from the porch Saturday morning – the fog was so pretty

We got up early and went to pick strawberries

Scrumptious yummy strawberries they are – made some jam

Nita parents bought a house recently in town that has wonderful landscaping however has not been kept up so we were working over there all day. We moved walls, stones and flowers – this particular area we really did some major changing

The loverly fish pond – maybe we can make one at our house one day

ALL DONE with the day's work

Sat evening we went to the Beachy's for a lovely dinner on the patio

Anijah took Nita for a hair raising ride on the golf cart – no worries I had a ride as well

Friends

Sunday I went with my friends to church in MD that I have not seen for 4 years! We figured out the little gal was a baby when I saw them last. They are on the worship team and so in church the kids were not with them but when the little kids went up for prayer during the offering I said to Nita that little girls is so adorable. Only to find out later it is Catherine and Fischer little gal. The boy is a split image of his father and very active but adorable!
It was wonderful to connect with them again and hope to stay in touch more!

1st Outdoor BBQ of the year

Nita and I love to have people at our house for outdoor events! Chicken, Veggies and Pasta Salad was on the menu...Oh the joy of friends - thanks Loren and Ruthie for the great evening!
