A different kind of viewing pleasure

We took off on a little ramble today.  Up into Parke County...I have several shots I will be sharing today of a home in Rockville.  It could not have been a worse time to be there.  It was hot, humid, and the middle of the day.  Please remember you can click and enlarge the photos for a better view.

This first shot is through the front windshield.  I have tried a couple adjustments and have it looking more near what we saw.  It grabbed my attention first thing.  Then Roger says to look to the side past him.

I shot past him through the open window to get this.  It is in the back yard.  I would love to know just what it is.  Is it a garage?  an art studio?  a potting shed?  I don't think I could bring myself to use it as a potting shed....but still, I want to try to go back when leaves are down and drive real slow past this place!

This is their front door.  Look at all the details in the painting!

No this is on to the right of that front door a ways.  I think they must own the length of that block.  Again, through the windshield.  I think.  I just simply could not get it quite right.

And this little house was on down still farther.

Isn't this a beautiful place.  I would love to know the story behind it.  When I see a place like this, I wonder does family of the original owner still live in it. 

A little bit of rust...

Visit the past...

I have basically did nothing but sew today.  We ate leftovers.  We did not go anywhere.  All in all, a wonderful day.

How about you?  Do you enjoy a day where you don't have to do anywhere, or do you need to get out for it to be a good day?

We were returning home during one of our drives in the last snow and happened to come through Rockville...couldn't believe it when we saw this.  It is just so odd what you can happen upon when out rambling around.

Another sunny day, though still on the cool side.  If not for the wind, would have been plenty warm.  Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer.

I have been quilting on a baby quilt.  It is almost half quilted.  I will have to get more thread before long...I am kind of thinking of running tomorrow to get it.  The quilting is the same as that of the quilt in my header.  It is going to be a baby shower gift and I was afraid to try something new, so stuck with something I always love.  I just love the texture this type of quilting gives.  Hopefully by the end of next week it will be finished, providing nothing happens in between now and then.

To the top!

I don't remember when I first started noticing architectural features of buildings...I know I didn't think much about it when young. Probably didn't think anything about it at all then...
but as I have grown older, I have really come to appreciate the work that has gone into it.
These were in Rockville, Indiana, around the square. I love the ones with the rich colors most of all.

Lorelei and her mommy spent the entire weekend with us. Kay came over yesterday and talk about making a kid happy. Lorelei would laugh and laugh at just anything and everything. Kay had been here probably an hour and went back home and got her little brother who is about a year older than Lorelei. Mitch is quiet and gentle...Lorelei just loved having him here.

She still has a runny nose and has a cough....the doctors say that it just hangs on and hangs on. She doesn't let it slow her down much. She wants to stay outside all the time...and it was warm enough till she could, thank goodness. Cause she cries to be out...it is very hard to distract her from it sometimes when it is bad weather.
