Dad photographed this bumblebee the other night. It was just hovering around the spireas by the mailbox, but it looks like it might be heading for the birdhouse.

From our hill...
"From this hill, looking north and east, we see marvelous changes that have taken place since the time of boyhood memory. Then, all this country was a vast swamp, an impenetrable wilderness, inhabited by snakes, frogs, lizards, mud turtles and various kinds of wild animals. Now (1914), this same country is a great cornfield, as far as the eye can reach, and comprises some of the most valuable and most productive land in the county."Gil R. Stormont "History of Gibson County, Indiana" 1914
Why do we blog so much?
We've always kept a journal, but to read the journal meant that you had to be on a certain computer. In September, 2009, we began using this blog so that friends and family can read it too. The best part though, is that at the end of the year, we can have a book made of the year's posts and the kids will appreciate it (finally) when they are our age!
