Looking at Me

Not sure if this bluebird actually could tell that someone inside the window was there taking its photo. Maybe the way the sun was, etc, he could tell there was movement. Anyway, it seemed like he noticed me! It was nice to see the bluebirds back. The bluebirds had come back again this year, so I hurried and put their birdhouse outside in its usual spot. Then sparrows started making nests in the house, which I removed the second time. I think the sparrows gave up, because now the bluebirds have taken ownership of the house again.

This Amish farmer, near Becks Mills, Ohio decided it’s time for Spring fieldwork, so he hitched up his horses and went to work.

Pony Parade

Somehow these ponies escaped and ran down the road. I was shocked to see this Amish father ands son each with a pony and one running loose. Not sure if only one got out and they rode the others to go find them or what! It amused me to see them coming down the snow covered road.

Country Road

I dropped off an Amish family at their relative’s place for church, driving on bare gravel road. Seven hours later it had turned into a “Winter Wonderland” with snow and deep buggy tire tracks. I did make it home safely.

These Amish youth are enjoying this cold weather to get some ice skating in. On some ponds they also play ice hockey. I think this photo shows them playing a game, where they tag people on the other team, and they can only be released when you sneak behind the lines and tag them. This cold spell lasted almost 4 weeks. I think the skating ended several days ago. It is pouring “cats and dogs” today. Forecast is for some freezing rain, which I hope doesn’t happen.

I Love the Smile

I love this Christmas Party pic!

On Alert

It was nice to see this regal animal on our first of snow!

Fall Berries

It’s interesting to see the different berries, seeds, etc. as I walk the trail.
