Thu & Fri Jun 7 & 8 - We had no idea that our friends lived in such a rural area! After a jaunt through Indianapolis (for the requisite Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts) we drove north into serious farmland. It was interesting to see how the roads were numbered and laid out in one-mile grids. The corn is still very short, as we are early in the growing season, apparently, so visibility was amazingly far. Our friends had bought an old farmhouse and had done some serious remodeling and renovating - it was gorgeous! We got the full tour, and relaxed, catching up with our friends. As it got dark, we enjoyed seeing the fireflies and listening to the SILENCE - not a hint of traffic noise, and sooo many stars!!
The only down side to today's travels was that Fred (our plant) was seriously wilted by the afternoon heat in the car. After some discussion, we decided to leave Fred with our friends (as foster plant parents) for his survival's sake. After a hearty breakfast, we set off to another friends' house. This time, the house was in a more suburban area, but still lovely and relaxing.
One amusing thing we noted on the drive - we saw a number of sets of signs and sights in odd juxtaposition - like the "No Passing" sign next to the graveyard...
