Runaway Bunnies

On the way back from the garden, we always watch for deer and other critters. I rarely get a good shot of these critters, but it is fun to see them and give it a try.

 Two deer were hanging out at the back of a field. Bad thing was, along the road, the fence row is grown up in trees and weeds. There was one little hole and Hubs found it.

 When I raised my camera, these two bunnies were posed perfectly. Not so much when I took the shot.

Celandine Poppy. I found this little flower while walking through Douglas Hart Nature Center. It wasn't familiar to me, so I dug out my Illinois Wildflowers book, which says it isn't common in this area. It likes the southern most and northen most counties. Well, what is wrong with central most? Guess this one decided to give our area a try. The roots were once used to make yellow dye. Who knew?

Small Town Critters and a Flower or Two

I've always heard of a town named Trowbridge and knew it was west of Neoga, so on our ramble last weekend, Fergus and I checked it out.

I thought we might be lost, but this sign pointed us in the right direction.

What we found wasn't necessarily what you would call a town, more like a few houses on both sides of the road...

 ...an old barn with a rusty roof...

...and this barn. Sadly a drive-by shooting only gained me an obscured view. There were people staring at me so didn't want to hang around too long. :)

On the edge of town Fergus alerted me to this donkey critter. He was happily munching on that fresh spring grass...

...until he tired of Fergus barking and showed his disdain by turning his back.

Mr. Donkey had a horse friend who didn't seem to mind Fergus hanging his head out the window.

Hubs has planted and hung our window boxes, which actually are hanging just below our screened in porch and not a window at all.

This is a pink clematis, which is really lavender and pink, but it's hard to tell in these shots. Our house is on a major street, so Hubs added a trellis for them to climb on, which will keep passerbys from staring at us when we are sitting on the porch.

He added some pink petunias...

...and Snapdragons.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We are supposed to have a nice day today, but rain the next 3 or 4 days. I hope the farmers are all finished planting.
