Wauconda Fire Department Open House






This was a few weekends ago -- the local firemen demonstrated sawing open a car, among other things. Great for the kids, they got to practice putting out "fires" with a hose, practicing making 911 calls, etc. Plus free pizza and hotdogs! And sitting in the firetrucks and ambulances!

I love chrysanthemums. . . my daughter's flower since she was born in November.

Fixing Power Lines




These men have been working on the set of power lines close to my house -- then I saw the helicopter yesterday a few miles away. They must be re-doing the entire line. The helicopter is bring the workers some new kind of insultation and dropping it down to them. Pretty interesting, not something you see every day! I wonder how electrified these men feel afterwards? The lines themselves buzz, pretty loudly.

Tree and Fence in Fall - Nunda Township


Here's a tree I see every day. . . I think the dying crop behind it is soybeans, but I'm not sure . . .
This is the same tree in the winter (1/4/08)
