Sangamon River

This is pic of Lake of the woods covered bridge on the Sangamon River at low tide. An example of PSE work.

Rainbow in the Storm

This was extraordinary of double full rainbow, sky and lightening over the pond across from our home. First rainbow seen in Illinois.

This is my rear berm with spruces, burning bushes, forcithia and wheelbarrow for decoration. Now for the front yard.

My Best Monadnock

What natural beauty Athol is blessed with. I enjoy all pics of these favorits.

Upscale Crocs

My foot doc prescribed Crocs the Rx version and I have used since having an indoor and outdoor pair. They are comfortable and easy to wash but a bit ugly for wearing in public. So: Ihave found these which are not Rx but seem to have the same open forefoot area and as soft bubber sole as the Rx. They have some top slots for appearance and better breathing and velcro adjustable straps which improve fit and appearance. I now have 3 pair and intend to use these new ones for outdoor wear until I get freezing slush in them.

Layout Revision

One Saturday project was rearranging the living room. It's a challenging room because its square and two sides are dedicated to TV and fireplace. This change put Mother's office toward windows and opened way to kithen. Also employed one of two Iranian rugs bought 3 years ago but not used due to pattern. Other one is 9 by 12. Creates a nice focal point aaaand is actually a very long and dense yarn.

Illinois Cowbarn

History is gone. 100 year old barn, abandoned for generations, standing then gone.
