Sunflowers

In our travels around the "neighborhood" we came across this field of sunflowers.  What a happy surprise!  Don't know why sunflowers are grown. (Hey Kansas, let me know.)  But the yellow heads in our Northwoods landscape of green certainly made me smile.

A Toadstool/Mushroom Kind of Day

I think one looks like a pancake...with a little syrup, who knows?

The local newspaper had a picture of a "puff" mushroom measuring 38 x 40 inches.  Unbelievable!

Sentimental Fools

Selfie of Case and me in the parking lot of my apartment in Urbana, IL in 1975 when I was student teaching.  We were in the area for a family reunion last month and decided to visit the exact spot where we met.  There was a party on a Saturday evening for the residents of my apartment complex and for the residents of his apartment complex across town (same owner).  This is the exact spot.  Unfortunately,  one of the sentimental fools refused to get out of the car for this special occasion.
