Last post I mentioned that the drive to Springfield was "same ole, same ole", so on our trip last Friday, I decided to take some pictures to see if my opinion had changed. See a selection of those photos below ... then maybe you'll see why I did change my mind. There are some shots included taken in Springfield of the Capitol building, and from the Abraham Lincoln Museum. Bethany spent a couple of days with a friend, so you'll only see Lilly in some of them. We had a blast! Especially, when we were trespassing on the abandoned farm! Maybe that's why our car battery died when we tried to leave. Jim and Lilly flagged down a good samaritan who jumped the battery, and we went on our merry way. What a hoot!Enjoy ...
The leaves on the trees are turning ...
The farmers are harvesting their fields ... and bringing their corn to the grainery ...
Then we came across an abandoned farm that provided some excellent photos ...
... from the sheds, to the barn, to the water pump, to the falling down and rotting wood that was everywhere!
There was a hint about the age of the farm that came from the old truck and farm machinery.
Then, there were the final artistic finds ... what do you think they are?
That's it! There were a lot more pictures, but you get the idea.
By the way, thanks everyone, for the birthday wishes!
