What to post....

I am having a time deciding what to post, and I just typed the title and hit the magical key that posted this without anything at all being in the post. So, since tomorrow is Sunday, I might as well post some photos of this church we passed over in Illinois on our way to Willow Slough the other day.
I don't remember the town it was in, and though we drove on two sides of it, we did not see a name anywhere. It was surely there, but we sure did not see it.
I really liked these features of it...I am just amazed at some of the architecture seen every where you go. But I thought this was an extra nice church. If I remember correctly it was a very small town...in the middle of farm country.
I always wonder who goes to churches this size out in the middle of no where. I don't know the size of the farms in this area, but I do know that farmhouses and barns are much fewer and far between than around here.

Will the real tiger lily please stand up?

I have called other lilies tiger lilies, but when I saw these, it made me wonder if they are the real thing. Does anyone know or is tiger lily just a general term as I have used it for years or does it belong to a specific one?

A lucky find!

A few days ago in our rambles, I glanced to the side of the road and right there 3 or 4 ft. off the road were these oyster mushrooms, or as we call them tree mushrooms. Roger stopped and we gathered /picked them....and had them two or three times as snacks over the next few days.

On over in the woods, were more but most of them were done past the picking stage. If not, we would have had some to freeze. We have frozen them before and had good success.
