Country Church and Spire

While trying to find a rural church I had heard about, I found this one but not the one I was looking for.  This is a pretty little one that is no longer in use.  I'll have to make another trip to find the original one I was looking for.

On the Road Less Traveled

I found this old barn on a road less traveled.  The roof looks in pretty bad shape.

Lilacs and a fence

I did not get back out to Jesse's barn to get photos of the lilacs but we had some beautiful ones in town.  I took these photos the end of May.

About an hour after I published my last post stating I didn't like storm warnings, the sirens when off warning of a tornado.  I went to the basement but nothing happened thank goodness.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

Green Fields

Well I'm back and it's finally summer around here.  The sun is shining and temps are up around 80.  The crops have all been planted and the rural landscape is green with rows and rows of corn and beans.

Spring at Jesse's Barn

On my drive last week I had to see if the lilacs were blooming at Jesse's Barn.  They were only beginning to bud but the plum trees were in full bloom.

Dandelion field

Today is finally sunny after 5 or 6 days of gloomy weather.  Everything is green though and the dandelions are prolific this year.  I took a little drive in the country the other day and found this field of dandelions.

I don't know what this old car is doing sitting at the edge of the field.  It almost looks like someone  is sitting in it, but there's not.

A little closer view.

A different view of the field

Thank you all for you prayers and condolences during the passing of my mom.  They are much appreciated.

I haven't felt much like posting or commenting and the posting will probably be sporadic for the next few weeks.

I hope you all have a great Memorial Weekend.

Until Next Time

My dear beautiful mother passed away Thursday, May 16th.  My daughter posted this picture and words on her Facebook page.  I cannot say them any better.




"96 years you blessed us here on earth, now those in Heaven are blessed with you for eternity. Love to my grandma who lived a long life but never grew old"


Thanks to all of you for your prayers!  They mean a lot.
