This is our yard during a recent thunder storm. It's been raining often here, so everything is growing well but the ground is saturated. Enough for a while!
Cody's Farm, and the Marengo Strawberry Festival was held recently just a few miles from the campground. It rained before we finished picking strawberries and we got soaked! We're kind of thinking that it was worth it anyway.
Lots of nice, red berries. They are jam now.
A Sunday trip to Iowa was in order a week ago to attend the International Woodcarvers Congress.
Lots of good and interesting wood carvings on display.
This is the Best of Show carving. Our friends in Minnesota should appreciate this.

This week, we took the Metra into Chicago for a day trip.
Pat, Barb & Mike Clark, fellow workers at KOA, and their granddaughter, Olivia.
We rode the Chicago Water Taxi from the train station to Michigan Avenue.
Lots of activity on the river. It's a major tourist attraction.
Walking along Michigan Avenue.
A "little lunch", Chicago-style pizza.
We could only eat two slices, each.
Dave and Pat at the Cloud Gate, more commonly known as "the Bean".

At entrance to Taste of Chicago.
Very unique interactive fountain in Millenium Park. Images are projected inside the fountain and change every few minutes.
OK. That should catch us up for a couple of weeks. Check back often for more additions.

I hadn't realized you were near Marengo. Pat should check out The Fold.
