An award

This is another one scanned in from a 35 mm slide...taken in January of 1997. I take pictures of milkweed pods almost every year....and I still love to see them float through the air just like I a kid.
Now, for something fun.....
Earlier this week, The Tile Lady at A Colorful World gave me a Hot Blog Award.
I want to take time to thank her for this. I know I don't act much like it, but they do make me feel good;-)

I really, really enjoy blogging and love getting comments and awards. And I love it when I find blogs that I go back to over and over. I thought I would take the time this time to give this award to some blogs that I about have to be dead to not visit at least once a day...and they are in no particular order, well, maybe alphabetical order if I don't miss one on the first trip through my list.

1. Mrs. Hays at Bluff Area Daily Photo
2. The EG Tour Guide at East Gwillimbury WOW!
3. Mary at Faith, Fabric and Photos
4. Dot at Strolling Through Georgia and sometimes Alabama
5. Carletta at Round the Bend

From a 35 mm slide

This is from a slide taken in February of 1995...I removed the color in photo shop as well as altering the shading after that. But you know what--I can't remember what I did to alter it. I have went and made another copy of the original and tried all kinds of variations and cannot duplicate the image here.

Anyway, this is the Mansfield Roller Mill located at Mansfield, Indiana. It is now ah historic site and is now white. In 1995 it was donated to the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources.

Don't ya just want to travel down this road?

I came across this the other night and thought it just looked so inviting...makes me wish I had time to go back and retrace some of our rambling around.
I had forgotten about this one...looks like some lives in it...I first thought they lived in the upstairs, but then looking at it the other night I wondered about what the bottom was used for. Either way, I would love having the upstairs for a home.
