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.

August is showing it can do summer….warm days and almost cool evenings have made for some beautiful days here. You can see that Fall and Winter are on their way back…the sunrise is later and the sunset is earlier… looking forward to the change of seasons…

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!

I guess you can say that I have grown fond of this building. I have taken a few shots of it in the dead of winter, but this is what it looks like in the summer. (Still trying to find a way in to take some interior pictures. Shhhhh….)    🙂

We have returned from a wonderful week of spiritual retreat, rest, and, renewal. Hope you all had a great week. Looking forward to reconnecting with my WordPress family 🙂

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

let’s stay

let's go back

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
