good morning home town

My home town is in the state of Illinois. We are considered a southwest suburb of Chicago. The town is all but surrounded by corn and soy bean fields and so it often seems like any kind of major city is far, far away, even though, if the traffic gods are smiling, we can be in beautiful downtown Chicago in about an hour. These Minooka, Midwest skies are treasures that I always enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

please change me

so here we are again
another day has dawned
lets get it right today
and see what we’ve become

so here we are again
another chance to love
to give and not to take
to set our hearts on things above

dear God we need to hear your voice
let all the change i want to see
let all the change begin in me
dear God
please
change
me

yay! it’s springtime!

A little front yard beauty! Have a great day!

a stormin’ minooka mornin’

A beautiful, if stormy, start to the day.

the beauty of the ‘nook

The ‘nook is short for my home town, Minooka, Illinois. We ended Monday night with a rainbow and beautiful sunset – both taken from my front porch. The cactus flower is in the garden in front of our house. The sunrise is just a 2 minute walk from my home. What does the beauty around your home look like?

Street photography, sports photography, and now, I give you, front porch photography.

after the storm

A spectacular sky greeted me on the way home after a violent rainstorm came through our little town.

mornin’ in the ‘nook

A quiet, beautiful beginning to this day in my hometown, Minooka, IL.

goodbye sunday

Sorry for the lack of posts… new granddaughter (yay!), lots of rehearsals in preparation for our Christmas performances and, your general, everyday, crazy busy life. So… after taking care of some long over due yardwork, decided to slow down and say goodbye to Sunday. Hope you have a wonderful week, and a Happy Thanksgiving.

end of saturday

Well, 2019 is as busy as ever. Trying to get back into the WordPress groove. This is how last Saturday made her bow. Well played, Saturday… well played.
