Signposts...

When we were over in Marshall, Illinois, I saw this and could not resist a quick snapshot of it.  that was a big old RV there to the side.  One I would not want to drive...I would love to know how long it was.  I felt like it was as big as some school buses, and bigger than others.

We had rambling fever today and headed north to the swamp area close to Coffing Brothers Orchard, and from there went on over to Danville, Illinois to the Heron viewing station.  I did get some good shots of a Great Blue Heron, but was disappointed in other ways.  Saw about three of the small water lily blooms, and that was all the blooms I saw.

It was if there had been a huge storm...I have not ever seen as much water in that area as was there today.  There just were not water lilies to speak of and I am not sure why.  And I only seen two turtles.

I am too weary to get much of a post together tonight...I will say it was another glorious cloud day.  So expect some more of those in the next few days, also some more thistle shots if nothing happens.

Ride 'em, Cowgirl!

When we went to see the kids the other day, Sarah was volunteering at a fun fair that evening after work.  So, off we go to it when the time arrives.  (In the background is a real pony for sure.  They had just got there when Lorelei got to ride.)
Believe it or not, Lorelei got to ride this horse..or maybe she is a pony.  I know at least one of the two there was considered a pony just from listening to the owner talk to someone else.  It was just an inch or so shy of being tall enough to be considered a horse.  I really had no idea that either one would be called a pony.
Lorelei did enjoy it...

We were supposed to have showers and thunderstorms off and on all day today.  It was overcast this morn, but has been sunny most of the day.  It is 2:00 in the evening and I am going to go ahead and hang out a load of clothes.  That will bring on the rain if anything will.  LOL

Just a little post...

Be sure and check out Cheryl's Frugal Corner...she is married to my nephew.  Being that I am the baby of 8 children, and she is married to my oldest nephew, we are basically the same age.

Scroll on down for my regular post.
