Ramblings


I love walking in the early morning.  It is generally quiet and it's much cooler.  I'm get impatient for it to cool off in the evening for a walk so I just walk in the morning.  
Last week one of my early morning walks was foggy and just the right temperature for an energizing walk.  It was so foggy you couldn't see the opposite bank of the Ohio.


This morning was different.  The sun was trying to rise through the clouds and it was gloriously cool.  The humidity was low for this time of the year and I was in heaven.  


The sun's trying to peek through the clouds.

The flora was flaunting its beauty!
 
And even on the best of days there are those who just cannot help but defy ther rules.  Right now it has just begun to rain.  It looks like my heavenly walk ended just in time.

Empty Nest



From the empty nest
Three cardinal eggs were laid
Two flew away

~~~~~~~

Mom and Dad cardinal built this fragile nest in a rose bush next to the house.  We saw them flying in and out of the bush tending to the wee ones.  There were three fledglings in the nest but only two flew away.  One morning we saw on had landed on the patio in the sun.  Ron picked  him up and put him back in the nest.  Mom came and teneded to him.  He was found again under the patio table.  Again he was returned to the nest chirping away.  Finally, that evening we went outside to sit in the cool air, only to find the wee on had passed.  He was lying under the tree in the shade.  Such a sad ending to a story of hope.  Hope we must all have that hadn't we.  I do HOPE so.

Memories of Times Gone-by


What a family is all about is apparent when we visit family in the foothills of Colorado.  You can sit on the patio and be visited by the most beautiful creatures.  They come and sit and share the space with you.

The fawns came to say hello and mother spends time investigating the land.  "His Royal Highnesss"  
sits and pervays the domain.  It's so wonderful to see nature at its best!!

Foggy Mornig in Rivertown






Fog covers the trees
Water drips from leaves like rain
Heaven come to earth

Short Outings


This morning my walk down to the river greeted me with a surprise.  I don't often get to see barges moving coal up river on the Ohio as often as I used to.  It's a glorious day here and a grand day to be out and about!
  


I was going through some old photos this morning and came upon thee of our day trip to Spring Mill State Park.  It's a beautiful place to visit with all the foliage and pioneer village.

Log Cabin
Foot Bridge and Grist Mill

The photos on the right of the collage are of the working grist mill.  The corn meal they grind makes the best corn bread!!!  I'm thinking it's time I returned to Spring Mill State Park.
