At the cabin

We got here about 9 p.m. The big excitement along the way was the black bear we saw as we started down the north side of Shade Mountain, near Beaver Springs. It was the first black bear Debbie had seen in the wild. She was really excited!

We'll be picking up Allison to go visit my folks in Venango County in the morning. It's a cozy evening here.

Beautiful Hemlock Home Weekend

It was another beautiful weekend at Hemlock Home, starting off with the kids visiting Friday night, with ultrasound photos of little Baby BOY Gerwick! Woo-hoo! Here are a few photos:

Baby Boy Gerwick! What a profile!

A large hemlock tree behind the cabin, next to the creek. One of my favorites.

Debbie carved a pumpkin yesterday. Ooooooh... Spooooooky!

Mini lanterns

Here are some mini lantern party lights that we put in one of the hickory trees in the back yard.

New lights

We put some new landscape lights along the front path yesterday.

A perfect ending to a perfect weekend.

Hemlock Home Weekend

We had an enjoyable weekend at Hemlock Home. We had perfect September weather. It had been three weeks since we'd been there, so we got the yard spruced up and had a nice fire Saturday night. We got to have lunch with Allison on Sunday, before heading back to Berks County.

Picnic

We had a really nice time Saturday with some family from both sides. Lots of food, lots of fun and lots of humidity!

The morning starting out with our semi-regular visit by the neighborhood turkeys...



Here are some photos from the events of the day:

Nice weekend

We had a lovely weekend, even though Saturday started out soggy. Here are a couple photos of Debbie and me relaxing Sunday evening, before starting another work week.
