Summer 2011 Trip

First day of our RV trip to Cleveland for a family reunion and on to Eastern Canada. We left Hastings (the RV barn) at about 11:00. We are near Milton, WI tonight. We ate dinner at the RV so didn't do any sightseeing here, although this area is lovely. The drive today was wonderful. Wild flowers in the fields, in the ditches and along the sides of the highways. Mostly yellow something's and white yarrow. Weather was perfect. Everything is so green! And all the lakes and rivers are brim full. Not surprisingly, we expect rain later tonight. In spite of the late spring and heavy rains at planting time, all the corn looks really good. As an Iowa guy, Gary notices these things.

We are listening to a series of lectures on the American Revolution by Yale professor Joanne Freeman - free on iTunes. There is always more to learn! She has a lively and appealing approach, going in depth on a single theme or event or topic that brings the time alive.
