A Windy Day

Yuck…there was something large and dead in the middle of the grass stand….I stepped on it and was quite alarmed, though glad it was not alive.  I did not know what it was, though hope something drags it away before I get out there again. I bet my cousin's dogs will find it and roll it in! Ahhh…country living!

Clarksville

I was up in Clarksville last Friday and enjoyed the beautiful day and views of the Mississippi River.  Spring will be here before you know it. Now is an ideal time for a drive in the country….try 79 from 70 all the way to Louisiana. You can see some special homes and views now before the leaves come out.
