We were quite surprised to see how much farming
was going on in Michigan. Here is a beautiful
grove of flowering fruit trees.
We were surprised to find a Dunes Park
located on the southeast coast of
Lake Michigan in Michigan.
This sand dune is a couple hundred feet
high from the water. I found it fascinating
that trees can grow right down to the water's edge
because the Great Lakes are fresh water.
The color of Lake Michigan is spectacular!
You knew I had to include an artsy fartsy
picture sooner or later along the way!
Another Dunes Park, this time in Indiana.
"Devil's Slide" in the park.
Bill and I opted out on climbing all these
stairs to the top of the dunes. How about you?
Up for a good hike?
By now you all know the love I have for John
Deere equipment. Here we are in Illinois
watching the farmer plow the field. Yes, he
gave me a smile and a wave as he went by.
A little further along on Rt. 52, we came across
this John Deere corn planter. The yellow buckets
in the back are filled with corn kernels, which allow
for about 20 rows of corn to be planted at a time.
It was about 76 degrees and lots of plowing
going on today. Such a joy to watch!
