Our youngest son is a freshman in high school and participates in the marching band. High School football games in our small town are big events! Rivalries, pride, marching band, cheerleaders, poms, Arrowettes, popcorn, and, lots of cheering fans make for a fun community experience! Go Indians!
Went for a walk with my wife on the tracks behind our subdivision (yeah… that doesn’t sound like a good idea, does it?….the walking on the tracks part…) and spotted this beautiful mantis taking a walk as well!
I’d rather be riding.
let’s go back
to the simple
promises
that we made
in that simple place
let’s return
to our hidden
moments
maybe our secrets
are still there
let’s rewind
our hearts
and listen
the vows linger
and so does my love
let’s stay
right now
right here
together
let’s just stay
Gotta love the sights and sounds of high schools bands! I am always amazed at their commitment, musicianship and excellence. I love a parade!
Taken today at the Grundy County Corn Festival Parade. Sweet ride!
Taken this morning on my ride from my hometown to Marseilles, IL. It was a beautiful, fall morning.
Fly, River Eagle, fly!
When I ride my bicycle west I pass over this bridge. Below are links to other images of this bridge that I have posted on this blog. I stop here each time to pray, drink some water, and enjoy the surroundings. It is my favorite bridge.

So, geographically speaking, this pretty much sums up the part of the mid-west that we live in. Lots of corn and soy bean fields… lots! I must admit, that after living here a few years, I have come to appreciate the beauty of the plains. Having a 360 degree horizon is cool… and… well… there’s the corn…. and…uh… soy beans….?….. 🙂
