Summer rain

 Well I guess the garden needed it.

On the Road

Three days on the road across Illinois and Indiana. 

We all have a 'memory' of the USA embedded from countless films, TV shows and adverts. What is surprising is how the USA delivers on these 'memories'.

Endless roads running straight as an arrow across rich farmland, with fields filled with corn as high as an elephants eye! with churches on every corner.

In small towns trucks and cars stop at traffic lights that you only find in the USA.

Then there are the trains, tracks running through towns so that the locals can be from the wrong side of the tracks and the sound of train whistles blowing in the distance.

Rain, Rain, Rain!

It seems to be have been rainy forever. Each day is wet and we seem to have weather warning, after weather warning.
The statistics say it's the wettest January since records began.
