The second image from a recent motorcycle ride to a wind farm not far from where we live. For some reason I am fascinated by these gigantic pinwheels and the “whoosh” sound that they make as those huge blades turn….. pretty cool! Two more will follow….in color.

Lot’s of rain yields lots of beautiful green cornfields (if you happen to think cornfields are beautiful!). It has been a BUSY, but wonderful summer. I may not be around WordPress land this week as I fulfill my role as a chaperone for our high school’s band camp this week…. I am not quite sure if we have internet. All to say, have a wonderful week, see you soon!

…and here is the next image that, this summer, is a rare sight….a sunny, warm, day. Our youngest daughter is getting married tomorrow, so between celebrations and good times I may be gone for a bit. I will try and post something from our fun! Have a great weekend everyone!

 

a better yesterday

minooka sunset

yesterday is here again

let the confessions begin

i should have called

i should have smiled

moments void of love

Lord-  …please forgive me

at last the light fades

and the stars accompany my reflections

tomorrow will you sing for me

tomorrow i will make you

a better

yesterday

Another shot taken just behind where we live. This is pretty much our landscape: cornfields, and soy bean fields…. but it sure can be beautiful…

Dear 1-2 inches of snow that fell in the Chicago area: Remember this? Your days are numbered.

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….?…..    🙂
