The bean in winter - Chicago

2010-05-17T16:01:00.000-07:00

I am compelled to look at this scultpure -- who wouldn't be -- every time I am in the city.

Another fun statue . . .

Sorry I missed the theme day!

Neighborhood sign

2010-04-07T10:21:00.000-07:00

This is a neighborhood very close to mine, right on the Fox River. Everyone calls it Burton's Bridge. Wonder if the sign is right, or the general population.

Healthy Eating!

2010-04-06T06:07:00.000-07:00

There is no butter or oil on this dish -- very simple, steamed, just salt and pepper. And delicious.

If you are in the U.S., you need to fill out both your census forms and your tax returns. And mail them! OK, you can file your taxes online, but you have to mail your census form!

Happy Easter!

Making R's out of P's

2010-03-29T07:04:00.000-07:00

I'm not a big fan of this place although lots of people love it. I don't really like their hamburgers, which is their big item. But I confess I like the frozen custard -- raspberry sundae is the best! I liked the way they tried to make R's out of P's on this sign.

A little bit bigger . . .

2010-03-28T06:34:00.000-07:00

I wonder how many of the last post could fit inside this one? How much does anyone really need? These 2 houses are only a few blocks away from each other, in the same town.

Lake House

2010-03-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

This little cutie is in a nearby town. . . right on the lake. I think I would be happy living in this little house. My house isn't much bigger!

River House

2010-03-26T06:43:00.000-07:00

This old stone house is a few blocks from where I live, next to the Fox River. It is nice to see all of the ice is gone and people can actually start to think about boating again.

Sharp-shinned Hawk

2010-03-25T05:27:00.000-07:00

This magnificent hawk was in a tree by my house yesterday when we went for a walk. Glad I had my camera! The first two pictures are mine, the one below is a stock photo so you can see his true colors. He had a small bird in his talons which you cannot see. He is known as the "bird hawk" since that is what his diet consists of. Note in the picture below, he is on a bird feeder -- they like to hang around bird feeders, to feed on birds, not seeds. I see many Red-tailed Hawks around, but I have never seen this type of bird and felt I had to share, even though my photos aren't that great.

Plus one

A Controlled Burn . . .

2010-03-20T07:04:00.000-07:00

While driving, saw this big cloud of smoke in the sky behind my house and rushed home to check -- the conservation district was doing a controlled burn on the field! I couldn't get close enough to take good pictures . . . .lots of deer were running through the neighborhood. And that night, the coyotes were howling like crazy.

Begonias!

Almost done with this puzzle -- we are having a heat wave here!

Early Sunflower

2009-08-08T06:14:00.000-07:00

Usually I don't have sunflowers for a few more weeks . . . of course, I didn't plant this one -- it is courtesy of the birdfeeder!

Sunset, Lake Michigan

Yes, I said sunset! This was taken from the opposite side of Lake Michigan. We have sunrises here on the Chicago side . . .

Cherries in the yard . . . to jam in the cupboard!

2009-07-07T12:18:00.000-07:00

Delightful sour cherries . . first a pie and now jam! I also made strawberry-rhubarb jam and it is delicious, too. Raspberries are next -- just starting to ripen in our garden.

Frog -- caught!

2009-06-28T06:13:00.000-07:00

A simple pleasure from childhood -- catching the ever-illusive frog! Toads are much easier -- not as slippery. Lucky day for my children, this frog was caught . . . and then let go a little while later.

I haven't posted in forever! Things have been busy, we were out of the USA for one month. So here it is Spring again. But it snowed here 2 days ago -- 7 inches. Fortunately today it is 50 degrees and everything is pretty much melted. . . .

Here she is in person! How fast they change. . . .

Oh, by the way, I saw a gas price today at $1.66 a gallon. Not bad! Merry Christmas!

A special "sphere"

2008-12-01T17:59:00.000-08:00

I need help! I haven't been the best blogger and I have completely lost the instructions on how to participate in the monthly theme day. It seems like things have changed a bit since I last participated.

P.S. This is my daughter.

Gas prices even lower

2008-11-30T13:06:00.000-08:00

I know I'm obsessing over this, but I saw $1.79 today and it makes me so happy! I would like to see $1.67 by Christmas. Do you think I will?

Wauconda Fire Department Open House

2008-10-20T16:19:00.000-07:00

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!

Fall Mums!

2008-10-17T15:34:00.000-07:00

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

Fixing Power Lines

2008-10-15T12:45:00.000-07:00

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.
