Everything Everywhere All at Once
Incidentally, have you seen that movie? It's one of my favorites for sure. But that's not what I'm writing about today; many things have happened and many photos, and I was trying to find a "before" photo of Mom's house because she had a new roof put on, new gutters, and had it painted. I was looking through the July photos and realized I hadn't included a few from there. First, here's Mom's house on July 15th, before any work had been started on it. And Ta Da! All done by the end of August. It was certainly done before then, but I can't exactly remember when. The roofers were there on July...

Goats, Goats, and Nothing but Goats
I don't know why I love goats so much. I haven't ever actually known a goat personally, and they say that goats can be mean. But there's just so cute. When Randy and I went to the fair on Aug. 11th...

Addendum to Lost in the Woods
The good news - I read online that the bow hunting isn't going on continuously til the end of the year; there's a break from Nov. 16 - Dec. 16th. The bad news - everybody who lives near the hunting...
Lost in the Woods

The Hobbies, Arts and Crafts building at the Illinois State Fair
After Mom and I left the Illinois building on the first Friday of the fair we headed over to the Hobbies, Arts & Crafts building. But first we stopped off at the Village of Cultures, formerly...
The State Fair!
Mom and I went to the fair on the first Friday,August 9th, something I can't recall doing before. It was a beautifully not too hot day, which is rare and fabulous. We started off at the Illinois...
Early August
One evening in early August, Amy texted me to say that a deer was heading over to our front flowers. I looked out and there she was. I've done a decent job this year of keeping them from chomping...
