A Sunday Drive - Part 3 - Makanda Smiley Face Water Tower

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this smiley face water tower!  I skimmed around to see if I could find in what year it was erected and I could not - however I did learn that it gained it's bow tie in 2004 in memory of lifelong resident, Paul Simon.  Makanda has a fascinating history, you can read more about it here...

There are TWENTY-SIX smiley face water towers in the U.S. and FIVE of them are in Illinois...

A Sunday Drive - Part 1 - Fall Leaves

We took off for a little drive on Sunday afternoon to grab a bite to eat in Carbondale and hit a couple of sales at Target... I caught some lovely changing colors and country scenery along the way... enjoy!

Today's Sunrise - 11/04/13 - Metropolis, IL

I arrived to "the porcho" this morning just in time to have my ciggy and first few sips of java while watching the sky and fall colors come to life...
Enjoy!

Strong Little Flowers...

I've been a bit overwhelmed with things, but in an effort to get back on track I wanted to bring you these lovely flowers.  As cold as it is in the mornings when I'm on the patiocho for my java and ciggy, I am simply thrilled and amazed that I still have some fantastically bright and beautiful flowers blooming.
