This Weather Can't Make Up It's Mind!!!

Happy Friday to everybody. We are having some unseasonably warm weather. I wish our summer would have been this comfortable! It is currently 74 degrees F. and the sun is shining. This wagon in the pic above is behind a house out east of town, near the fairgrounds. I had never seen it back there before, but then again, never really paid attention. It's right beside the field that I saw the three deer in last week. I love old wagons and farm implements like this.
This is the Mississinewa River. Normally you can't see all the river rocks there, but because of the lack of rain, the water level is low. This is in Delaware County, just north of Muncie. I couldn't stop and get out of the car to take decent pics, because there are No Parking signs all over, so I just stopped on the bridge and shot out the window. Mom and I were coming back from Muncie. She is feeling al lot better. They are currently on their way to West Virginia to see Lyle's son, Lyle Dean in Charleston, I believe it is.
This is one of the country roads between home and Mom's house. I'm glad I got the shot when I did, because when I drove past there this afternoon, all the hay (or straw) rolls are lined up in a straight row at the back of the field.
This is what they have done so far to the viadocks near our house. This is what my newspaper pics were of. They are so loud with the jackhammer, that I could hear it from my grandfather's yesterday while I was cleaning out the garden. That's 3 miles away!
This is Grandpa's new little friend. She is so cute! She stays outside and is still a little wild. I got more pics of her, but I thought this one is cute!

I told you a couple of posts back about my friend Glenna. She is the lady that lives in Anchorage, Alaska now since her son died. She called me Wednesday morning and told me that one of the firemen from Montpelier had called her that morning and told her that one of her barns had burned down. So she asked me to go out and take pictures of the damage.
There was nothing left except for the corrugated metal from the roof and the metal from where stalls had once been.
While I was there, there was an old rolled up carpet at the east end of what had been the barn, and it was still smoldering. With the wind blowing the way it was, the carpet caught fire again, so I had to call the fire department to come back out. I'm glad I was there when I was, because with so little rain, the grass was really dry and it would have caught fire and spread to one of the other barns. The firefighters told me that the barn was already gone when they got the 911 call at 3:00 a.m. The call had been made from 2 or 3 miles away according to one of the firemen.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but everybody, including the firemen and the police officer that lives across the road from there, has the same suspicion about how it started.
Frankly, we are all surprised that the house is still standing. The house is now up for sheriff auction. I have gone inside 2 times in the past 3 weeks. Glenna wanted me to get some of her belongings, whatever may have still been out there. Most of her antique furniture was removed from the house, then destroyed by her soon-to-be ex-husband. He didn't want anybody to have it! When I went into the house on Wednesday, a lot of things were not where they were the first time I went out, and curtains had all been removed from the bedroom windows.

We are going to try to go to Civil War Days tomorrow. I have never been there, but my son went there with his 8th grade class last year. They do the re-inactments and show what life was like back then. I hope we get to go so I can get some pictures for you.

Gonna get off here for now.

Love Ya
