Spellbound

My Uncle’s Great-Grandchildren watching their Great-Grandfather’s casket being lowered this weekend.

Memorabilia

My Uncle passed and these items depicted the things that were familiar to him, since he had a watch and clock shop for 55 years.

Sunset of Life

I was privileged to spend time with my Uncle Joe’s family this weekend, as we celebrated Joe’s life. He lived to the ripe old age of 95. The photo is of a sunset over a farm near Kalona, Iowa.

Mongolian Grill

Washington, Iowa, the town I was born in!

Nosalgia: Iowa the state where the corn grows tall! Just visited last weekend, and the corn is just getting a good start. Good to be “home” again! A great time with friends and relatives!

Antlered Entryway

There are probably 150+ deer antlers on this entrance to someone’s place. This was West of Flori, Iowa.

Through the Brush

A morning view of a farm, which has greeted us this weekend, while staying with friends in Iowa.

The Thinker

My Aunt!

Country Sunrise

Puzzling Mural

As I was passing through Fairfield, Iowa, this mural caught my eye, so I pulled into the parking lot, to capture this unique “puzzling” mural! I don’t know if it was painted by my friend, Rusty Baker, but it compares to his works, in 200 some cities around the world! Thanks to a comment I now know it was painted by Ella Yates!

Vintage Hay Fork

How many of you remember using the hay fork in the center of the photo? On the farm in Iowa, where I grew up, we used that kind of fork to lift up eight small hay bales into the hay mow at one time!
