One can almost always count on a colorful sunset in Indiana. This was taken last Sunday evening. Out at the strip pits. We are not seeing many birds out there, but are seeing a few deer.
*****************
I should be paying my bills but instead here I sit. And I don't have anything interesting to tell.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention--I saw goldenrod in bloom the other day! This seems early...but it was only one bloom. I shall be watching for more. I won't mind when autumn gets here--it is my favorite time of year. I hope it arrives early and lingers a long time.

I was going through my purse yesterday and found an old gift card from Joann Fabrics. I would have bet money there was only a few cents left on it, but when I checked it had $13 on it...so I felt richer at the end of the day.
I need to get up and do something...what I don't know. But I should not just be sitting here. It may be evening/night before I get around to every one. Hope you all have a good day!
Random entrance to a church...don't think I have posted it before. It is in Marshall, Illinois.

1. I had a hard time going to sleep, but when I did I slept hard. Jumped awake at 8:20 thinking it was Saturday. Really a bad way to start the day. Took about 10-20 minutes before I realized it is Friday. I was upset that I had slept that late, thinking it Saturday and knowing son-in-law is going to bring some of Lorelei's toys to store here for a while and I expected him to be sort of early.
2. Hung out a load of clothes...they had time to hang about an hour before someone, somewhere was burning something stinky. It smelled like plastic. I hurried and took them down and threw in the dryer. Only took about 25 minutes to be completely dry. It was a fairly big load.
3. I have been throwing away colored pages and other paperwork I no longer need. I rearranged some of my storage totes in the basement to make room for more stuff from Lorelei's home.
4. They will be moving sometime in the near future....more about that later. It is a good thing, though!
5. Roger is going back to the doctor this afternoon...still coughing. So say a prayer that either he gets the right medicine or that he gets sent to a new doctor. He has had a cough forever, but it changed a while back. Then he got the cold on top of it. Now, I don't know if it is the cold/asthmatic bronchitis or if it is just his cough.
I leave you with a video...no someone everyone knows. In fact, I doubt anyone has ever heard of her, but listen/read the words to the song. I think I have featured another of her songs, but not this one.
Edited to add: Just checked...I have shared this video before...sorry!
How about:
Tim Grimm is from Indiana...he writes some wonderful songs.
This was at the junk store...maybe antique would be a better word. But it doesn't have the feel of an antique shop. There is a little bit of everything there. I got a brand new puzzle...and I must say it had the biggest variety of puzzles of any place I have ever been.

My title was going to title the post 'Old and rusty, just like me' but decided against it. I have always changed the lightbulbs...no matter where they were. That is if I happened to be the one that was there when they needed to be changed. And it has not been that long ago that I changed the light in the bathroom...I am pretty positive I have did it at least once since Christmas.
Well, the light went out, and I started to change it and I cannot do it any more. Without a ladder anyway. Zlways before I could just stand on the edge of the bathtub and reach up and take the cover off and do the job with no assistance. I tell you it felt strange to not be able to reach it...maybe it is cause it was at the end of the day...it sure left me feeling strange.
Two loads of laundry hung out to dry today--and did they ever get dry. Seems like any time we go away for a night or two, I feel like I have a ton to do when I get back.I have more to do tomorrow.

Last night our weatherman said someone had asked him how many days the river had been above flood stage. When he counted the days...it was 50 days! He did say it is supposed to go down by this weekend!
