I don't remember where tis was taken, but sure like the looks of it.  I may have even posted it before.  Just thought it was fitting though, cause I have been talking to Lorelei and asking her if she remembered going to the creeks and she does.  And she wants to go again.  Hopefully, it won't be so dry this year and we will get to go.  She had a blast a couple years ago when we took her to Big Walnut Creek and to Mansfield Dam.

Lorelei just got up...I need to find her some breakfast.  She really slept in today.  We are home for a few days at least...not sure how much blogging I will do.  Hopefully, I will have some time to spend catching up with everyone.
 

Wind turbines galore

A few years ago we went north to Willow Slough...that is north of here.  Came across all these wind turbines...and this is just a glimpse of a few.    We could see them as far as the eye could see.

Even though they fascinate me, I would not want to work on them.  Can you imagine being that high up...I would want a guard rail to say the least around the perimeter of the thing.

Look at the height compared to the trees...

Bright and sunny here this day....still on the chilly side.  Maybe in a week or two we can make a trip north.  I am in the mood to see that country up that way.  And maybe go to Jasper-Pulaski to see the Sandhill cranes.

I continue working on my quilt...slow progress.  There is a lot of starting and stopping and that is what is slowing me down.  It is not going to be pretty quilting...just basic quilting to hold the layers together.

All the time I am working on this, I am trying to think what I want to make next....though there are a couple projects I HAVE to finish.  But quilters are known for having a bucket list that never ends.  We could never live long enough to make all the quilts we want.

I don't know when I am going to get back to taking photos on a regular basis...not that I don't have some to post.  It is just hard to remember what I have posted and what I have just 'thought' about posting.  I looked back through my posts under the label Patton's Corner and could not find this one...don't you know that some kid was really, really happy to get this when it was new.

I have not touched my quilt today...but the cats have.  I don't know what it is about a quilt that I am working on but they consider it their duty to try them out.  I think Bubbie spent the morning sleeping on it...he was no where to be found and came strolling in from the kitchen...and the stairs to the basement are off the kitchen....

Then I went down there later, and Puss Puss was asleep on it.  She very, very seldom goes down there and stays by herself. But she was sleeping and did not want to move.

We have snow...not a lot....but enough that the snow plows went through.  It won't last.  It is already warming up to above freezing not too far from here.  But the road were really slick according to the local weather.  I am glad I  don't have to get out in it.
