Not my photos -

 BUT

It's the place in Scotland

where she said

good-bye

and,

as people gathered

in England

The announcement was made

by double rainbow.

Tucked Away

Lovely Town Center

There's a Reading Room, Sandwich Shop, Coffee Shop, Ice Cream Parlor, Grocery, - 

A small set of townhouses behind the Center

A restaurant

People seem to smile more

Open Doors for each other 

Across the street is the Fire Department

It kinda looks like a magic castle.

 

Just

a nice place.

Wirth Grove

Wirth Grove.

was home to a family business

with a gas station

and a blacksmith

I bet it was wonderful

Because

The township

has done some amazing planning

and turned it into a 

Town Center

worth visiting.

Community Art

 

landscaping

Walkways, Shelters, Gathering Spots

There is posted  schedule full  of summer events 

a few well designed - welcoming shops

that aren't "in your face"

and - if you are walking with your pupster

You'll be thrilled to find the underpass:

with

Nice fields on the opposite side

*us? getting 'back on track'

Bringin' the Sun Up & - Ella Wheeler Willcox -

It's taken a loong time for me to find this music file

and

remember how to share

 

Me

Some time ago

with another musician playing flute

 

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox-

 

"The Goal" 

and

 The pupster & I remembered to power up and carry our teeny camera

attempting to get ourselves "back on track."

I'm from the Southwest.

Even though I've been in the Midwest

a very looong time

I'm still amazed at the humidity,

LOTS of water here - 

rivers, creeks - 

Stuff Grows

This is the back yard of a friendly looking church.

 

Look!  They even have a bench, 

I wonder how surprised they would be to find us resting there.

Actually, we were using the back tip of their property

to cut over to this pond.

We're going to walk around

and watch the sun come up.

Happy Day to YOU!

love & love,

💙

Ha!

I have No Idea what I'm doing.

I Do know my next few days are gonna be busy.

(I suspect that's a good thing.)

 

I should figure out how to leave a 

"permanent until further notice"

message:

 

I am able to visit blogs

BUT,

have not, yet,

figured out how to "sign in." 

 

That leaves me in the "anonymous zone."

-sigh-

love & love,

No "regular" adventure . . .

 but, a few 

marvelous

seconds of

musical surprise:

In case you haven't met him,

This is Wynton Marsalis

Today Joel sent this Good Reminder:

  

Today you are You,
that is truer than true.
There is no one alive
that is Youer than You.

~ Dr. Seuss 

We've been rainy this week.

My favorite weather reporter,

Steve Templeton 

often includes "walking reports"

from his dog.

 

(sigh)

looks like some of our leash plans this week

will be altered.

 

BUT, rain - or no rain -

I've got a reason to power up the teeny camera this Friday.

 

time for some adventure
