Great way to add interest to parking lot with flowers, herbs, vegetables
Canoe launch site
There is more to see of the grounds!
Deer hunting season is weeks away.
My personal experience climbing trees does not involve a ladder. 🙂 It does for deer hunters.
Looks like it is easier to go thru!
Looks like it is easier to go over.
60th Annual Parke County, Indiana Covered Bridge Festival
Two weeks starting the second Friday in October.
We missed the crowds on a rainy afternoon, drove over this bridge named “Rolling Stone” built in 1915 and took these photos.

Let’s read!
Our alcove with LED pot lights is “purrrfect” for reading “old-fashioned” books. Eve joined me in the adjacent chair for each chapter.
This week we read the old-fashioned format…paper, hard cover, jacket of Legends and Lies, The Patriots by David Fisher. We recommend reading this compelling history of the founding of the United States, especially in an election season. Our politics were messy then, as now.
Old school…..decades of albums, prints (multiple sizes), boxes, negatives, framed….meets digital. This project is brought to you by my “27 cubic feet” reduction goal (of personal papers and stuff). Photo archives account for nearly 3 cubic feet.
Scan, scan, scan….also, rather than disposing of most of the vacation, birthday and holiday prints…I chose three albums to reconfigure with photos selected especially for three adult children. Perhaps that just stalls my effort or mission. My hope is it will bring smiles and fond memories…. without the hours of searching to find their precious moments. 😉

Today August 5th
It all started in May….with three seedlings. Just one of God’s miracles!
Melon seedlings with room for vines to run along retaining wall.
It took a month
350′ X 20′ Swell or drainage easement
In real time…this is suspenseful!
Delayed by rain and ground being too soft…
Crocosmia
Bee Balm
Blue spruce
Asiatic lilies
Bonus! Much quieter, no mess and expense….in contrast with neighborhood fireworks the last two nights. Happy 4th of July!
“Difference” Prisoner labels, Dachau, Munich 2012
“Adversity” sculpture, Dachau, Munich 2012
Difference and Adversity are David Hinton’s translation. These photos are powerful images of humanity’s worse exploitation of differences and experience of adversity at Dachau concentration camp during WWII. In addition to starvation and torture, prisoners wore these symbols to ‘divide and conquer’ the population.
Hinton’s detailed translation emphasizes difference bringing ‘good fortune’ and adversity bringing acclaim. That calls for uplifting photos….next time…
