Misc things we see on our routes around Nauvoo and.......



These little geese grew up in the last seven weeks to be this below.

Aren't they just grand.   

 This corn was just planted about the week of May 6th.  Now look at it less than two months later.  It's huge.

 When we go to Keokuk to buy groceries, we drive along the Mississippi River for about ten miles to the South.  These little guys have grown too.  Lots of snapper turtles in the river.  When the sun comes out they climb up on the dead trees floating in the edge of the river and warm themselves.  One time they were seen crossing the road.

 These tomato and pepper plants were planted behind our apartment building by our neighbors about the first week of May.  Maybe a little later.  Now look at them just eight weeks later.  Unbelievable.  Big green tomatoes already and good sized peppers too.

We see these signs all over the two roads coming into Nauvoo.  Just thought you would want to see them.

These are two of the oxen used to pull the wagons for the rides here.  Don't know for sure the purpose of the brass balls covering their horns, or if that is even what they are.  Danger? 

At the show every night "Sunset on the Mississippi" the Nauvoo Brass Band has the audience come up and dance to get everything warmed up - you know in the beginning.  They were playing some swing music and this little girl loved it.  She just hopped around.  When the music stopped after two songs, this little girl called out to her parents - "I'm just going to stay up here!"
