Wildflower Morning: White Christmas Memories
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008/12/white-christmas-memories.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. Christmas is over, but the memories are so nice that I thought I'd blog about them so we can hold onto them for years later. This was a Christmas to remember with so much snow on the ground. No one came to visit us over the treacherous roads, and we didn't go anywhere. It was a fun day of family closeness, doing things we enjoy together. When lunch time came, we weren't hungry yet, so we went out for a walk in the sunshine. I'll show you the photos in my next post. I love wildf...

Wildflower Morning: May 2008
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2008. Someone Sprayed My Thistles. I'm crying. Someone came on our property and sprayed the thistles my baby Painted Lady caterpillars were eating. My heart is broken. 4 bouquets of wildflowers (Comment here). Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Singer Sewing Machine 15 - 90. I learned that most older Singers didn't have their model number written anywhere on it. I found a guide to pre-1960 Singer Sewing machines. To help you identify the model. I found a cool animation.

Wildflower Morning: Winter Freezes and Thaws
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2009/01/winter-freezes-and-thaws.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. Winter Freezes and Thaws. Two days after Christmas the weather started changing, rather rapidly. A warm Chinook wind started blowing, and the temperature started rising, and everything started melting, fast. Soon the dry creek in the valley was overflowing with water, the ground was saturated, and mud was being tracked in on the carpet. We had warm weather and rain for almost a week. Just before dark the clouds above the hills lit up in an unusual display of contrasts. And then t...

Wildflower Morning: Snow Birds
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow-birds.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. White Crown Sparrow in the Snow. Where do the little birds go when the snow comes? To our feeders of course. We have three feeders well stocked with black sunflower seeds for all the feathered friends who would care to dine. Oregon Junco trying to stay warm. Our oldest feeder hangs out by our big maple trees, and is the favorite of the ground feeders. They crowd in there together and eat their fill, knocking down seed for those who don't care for sky view dining. I love wildflo...

Wildflower Morning: Christmas Day Walk
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-day-walk.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. We took the most scenic route for our walk on Christmas day. It was the easiest snow walking we had had for a while, conditions were at the best and the sun was bright making very nice light. We were able to see quite a few interesting things. Come along and linger with us as some of the sights along the way. A mule deer was wandering through some trees a ways from the road. Sunlight and shadows played together on the river bank. By the house rested a white crowned haystack.

Wildflower Morning: Squirrelin' Round in the Snow
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008/12/squirrelin-round-in-snow.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Squirrelin' Round in the Snow. Down the road from our house the squirrels are busy finding tasty treats to nibble on in the neighbor's trees. They are as cute as can be in the snow and picture perfect. 1 bouquets of wildflowers (Comment here):. The big hawks usually are looking for rodents. I've noticed a red tailed. That has come several days in a row - high in the huge tree across the street and one house down. But that little sharp shinned. December 26, 2008 at 10:23 PM.

Wildflower Morning: February 2008
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Week 7 - Kid's Wildflower Art Contest. I've been out looking for the first wildflower of spring, but still haven't found it. But some birds are coming back. There are some robins around. So that must mean that they know that warmer weather is close. Don't worry if you haven't found the first wildflower either, because we have one more week before we have to find one. So here are the rules. They are simple. Week 7 - February 27 - March 4. Kid's Wildflower Art Contest. Revelat...

Wildflower Morning: December 2008
http://joyinthemorninglight.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. So we don't forget just how deep this snow really was, the week before Christmas 2008, I thought I'd better include a few more photos for memories sake, and for those who would care to look at more snow without having to wade through it. I've never seen things so buried under here before. We've never had any there before. We've had too many days of temperatures near zero. Emily Rose set up quarters on the opposite side of the driveway, over the flower garden. She made three...

Orchard City Notes: November 2014
http://orchardcity.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Sabbath, November 29, 2014. It was a very chilly day outside, but inside our church it was full of warmth and worship. Glenda had the adult Sabbath School because it was the fifth Sabbath and after a short song service with Don leading the singing and Bonnie playing the piano, we had "We Have This Hope" for Opening Song and then prayer. A short welcome story was followed by a Spotlight in Missions. Thank God for the thorns? I think we all agree with Julie! Edith made a very cre...
