and the miniature horse. I received so many comments with questions about the turkey and the pony. Sadly the turkey named Snow was eaten by a fox. The miniature horse was from a friend of my niece who raised miniature horses. They had quite a few exotic animals. They were all sold before my niece and her husband sold their home.
I was busy yesterday, out paying bills and then running the vacuum and waxing the furniture. I still don’t have all of the major spring cleaning done yet. Maybe it will turn into fall cleaning. I am doing laundry this morning.
It is going to be another hot humid day in central Illinois. It was already in the 70s when I got up at 6 AM. Illinois weather is like that. Spring is short and quickly turns into a very hot summer.
I noticed as we were traveling down Route 9 last Friday that from Bloomington on to Paxton that the Wind Farms have a constant presence.
I took these photos out of the car window at 55 MPH so they are not the best.
I hope you all are having a good week. Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth, Your picture are great. I would truly hate a wind farm, right out my front or back door. That is one of those "in your back yard, but not in mine" kind of things. At least the solar farms are lower. LOL. Hope you have a great day. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of these giant windmills in Germany last month. I find them fascinating. And oh my gosh that beautiful turkey was eaten by a fox? Didn't see that plot twist coming!
ReplyDeleteThere are wind farms all around here too. I like that they provide a source of electricity and I don't mind how they look, but I'm happy I don't have any in my back yard. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteOh what a sad end for the turkey. Hope that Judy doesn't see this as a fox just ate all her chickens...ackkk! What do you think of the wind farms?
ReplyDeleteThe wind farms are interesting.
ReplyDeleteHere we have only one that I know of, it's a 'thing' having them as a parrot or some creature maybe killed, so therefore they are not in favour.
I am so sorry to hear the fox ate the turkey, I ha just told Garry about that unusual turkey, I smiled when you said that it might turn into Fall cleaning, I feel that way as well, have a great ay no matter where you are to day! Lots of wind farms here to, very controversial subject here!
ReplyDeleteI think it's sort of neat!
ReplyDeletePoor turkey...happy fox!
XO,

We used to have a fox or two that made themselves known but it's been quite a while now since they've been around. I often thought it could be very dangerous for the local cats, thankfully nothing bad ever happened. Wild turkeys abound around town here...I always get a huge kick out of them...they seem so unlikely.
ReplyDeleteThe wind farm photos are interesting to me. It is humid in GA too. I fight my hair on days like this!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment re our move.
God bless your day.
the wind farms sure create as much controversy as they do energy. :)
ReplyDeleteoh those wind farms, the jury here is still out on them. i just don't know....there are so many things to occupy my little brain. i like happy, non-controversial topics, i am a coward!!!
ReplyDeleteNashville is like that, too--we had an iffy spring. It would be freezing one day, then hot the next. Finally it just gave up and now it's full-on steamy hot!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are actually good pictures from a moving vehicle. I would think they would have turned out very blurry. We've been getting rain off and on for a few days now, but it's been around 80 degrees.
ReplyDeletePoor turkey. What a way to go.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
The wind farms. They haven't proven to make it profitable, yet. I think they are land hoggers in my opinion. Don't get yourself in a frazzel about Spring cleaning. Take your time.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite part of the drive to see daughter. Love the wind farms.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good photographer. I would not be able to take pictures like these from inside a moving car. Take care of yourself. Spring is being robbed from us by nature. Still very gray and muggy here in New York. I hope that you have a lot of sunshine there.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were last up at the Heron viewing park north of Danville, we drove on north and west and ran into a bunch of the windmills, and there is a great big bunch up north in Indiana. I would love to see them in a storm...
ReplyDeleteI love wind farms. Those blades going around mesmerize me.
ReplyDeleteIt is our first spring here and here there actually is a spring. : )
your pictures are really good! I've missed your blog! It's good to be back. :)
ReplyDeletePoor turkey! We have those wind farms all over up here, too. There is always a big controversy going on with the GOOD and the BAD for the houses around them.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your day- xo Diana
I might stand alone but I like seeing wind farms and find the sound very calming . . .
ReplyDeleteWind farms are already saving us money here in Washington. Some newer ideas are amazing. Our weather seems about perfect to me. The daytime highs in the low 70's and nights in the mid 50's. There's often a little rain to keep the plants happy. Enjoy! Bertie.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so sad about that lovely white turkey.
ReplyDeleteYep we have loads of these Wind Farms in Washington State, They are huge up close.
The Wind farms are popping up everywhere here Beth.Some I must say are in odd places , but hopefully saving money.
ReplyDeleteA lot of that goes on in the country side here , foxes are sometimes not a friend of my neighbors .
