Visit to Rising Sun Indiana (March 5, 2022)

Spent 24 hours with Debbie at Rising Sun, Indiana, which is a favorite place of ours. Got a few photos while we were there, and certainly is a fun place to go. 

Bunny photo was taken during the morning walk this morning. First bunny photo of 2022, I am quite fond of rabbits and have quite a few around here, though have not see them of late. Did see the Indiana bunny this morning. 

I also gave a "Salute" to the former President, and friend of Putin.

Touch of Spring (February 21, 2022)

On a Monday, got 60 degree temperatures and with my wife took a long drive (just under 100 miles) around Ohio. Saw a few sights and enjoyed the wonderful weather. Unfortunately, winter will be returning for a few days. Its that up and down time of year, but Spring is not far away and looking forward to it.

A visit to Rising Sun Indiana (February 15-16, 2021)

A funny thing happened this week, Spring made an appearance for the first time this year. Went to one of our favorite places. Some different sights for your viewing pleasure. Aurora, Indiana at left, a barge on the Ohio River, and Sunset at Rising Sun.

Below that moon and reflection on the Ohio River. The Groundhog was through the hotel window. The Guitars were at Guitar Center on the way home. It was a fantastic trip and we had a wonderful time, which is usual when I get out on adventures with my wonderful wife.

Another look at the Snow (February 9, 2022)

 

Warming here for the next few days and the snow from last week is very slowly melting. That though will take a while, as it is finally over freezing but not a great deal. Took the photo at left while out driving to Huber Heights, Ohio, the one at the bottom is the lake here which is frozen and snow covered. There are actually three lakes in the neighborhood here. 

Snow is certainly beautiful, and there is a chance this month of some more snow along the way, so may not be the last of that. However, looking forward to Spring, and soon riding on my motorcycle. That is also an amazing season and looking forward to those adventures.

Aftermath of the Storm (February 5, 2022)

It was quite a snow storm and the largest snow fall of the Winter here. In fact it cut an epic path from Texas into New England. We got some 6 inches best as I could tell. It started on February 2 with heavy rain, which changed over to freezing rain and sleet on the 3rd and the snow fell on top. Was concerned and ready for power outages but here the power stayed on. 

At left was during the snow, bottom three photos are of the snow. Lake in the bottom photo froze and is covered in ice. Beautiful, but looking forward to Spring.

Calm Before the Storm (February 1, 2022)

Beautiful sunrise here in Ohio, and as you can see, the airport must be busy from all the contrails in the sky. Out early on this first day of February getting some tasks done before the snowstorm arrives in a couple of days. This storm may be significant event. We have had very little in the way of snow this Winter, that is looking like change in that regard is on the way. 

Horses out and feeding, some ice fishing on the lakes, and the geese found a break in the ice on some local lakes. IF things happen as expected, will have more photos from the storm, power outages permitting!

New Year's Day in Indiana (January 11, 2022)

The day before, the day of New Year's Day and the day after we spent at Rising Sun, Indiana. Got a last look at the reindeer there (seen here at breakfast) and a few Christmas lights. Got to go to a dinner and see the band "Seven Bridges" from Nashville, TN which is an Eagles Tribute Band. They were pretty good, and was the first concert we have been to since seeing Keith Urban back when we lived in Virginia some 3 years ago. 

It was a great time and enjoyed the trip. We have had both Covid shots and the booster and we also wore masks to prevent a good trip from becoming a bad one. Seems to have worked on this trip!
