http://returntocenterofamerica.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. It is time to bring this blog to an end. John rolled back into Florida yesterday around noon. The end of this adventure is again, bittersweet. We love being on the road and we love being home. The saga will continue . stay tuned . On his way back from the center of America, John stopped off to see his friends, Phil and Cheryl, who live deep in the Amish country of Tennessee. Here are some photos to mark that visit and friendship. Last days in IL. Tuesday, September 8, 2009.

Journey to the Center of America: Snow
http://centerofamerica.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow.html
Journey to the Center of America. Summer to Winter 2008. Friday, December 5, 2008. I know it's just a little bit, but hey, I've been in Florida for a long time, and it's magic to me. 11 degrees F this morning, the water in the lakes is freezing. Glorious! That's about as much as we have had of late. It is lovely, though, like an icing sugar dusting on the earth. [icing sugar = confectioner's sugar]. December 5, 2008 at 2:22 PM.

http://centerofamerica.blogspot.com/2008/11/view-from-our-windows-this-morning.html
Journey to the Center of America. Summer to Winter 2008. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Views from our windows this morning. More snow coming this afternoon and tomorrow . Just a dusting, but it is a start. When snow falls, it is like a new creation - all appears fresh and innocent again. At least for a while. November 30, 2008 at 10:36 AM. The first time you wake up to six inches covering everything, it will be quite a sight. December 3, 2008 at 7:12 AM. December 3, 2008 at 8:55 AM. Weldon Springs - again!

Journey to the Center of America. Summer to Winter 2008. Sunday, August 31, 2008. The Piasa and another river (the Illinois). Photo taken going South on the Illinois side of Mississippi River, with Sioux Power plant in view.]. In our wanderings up the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, we kept running into the word "piasa" - the Piasa creek, the Piasa Winery. Yesterday we hiked around the Pere Marquette Illinois State Park. Which is where the Illinois River dumps into the Mississippi River. This...

Meanwhile, budding is coming along despite the winter weather. Monday, March 25, 2013. Yet one more snow. We keep saying that that's the last of the snow, and then we get more. What is it about Mondays? Last Monday was the ice day and this morning we woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground! Here comes the sidewalk plow. I think we will stay home today.

Another American Adventure: July 2013
http://anotheramericanadventure.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. A sign of what's coming? The weather continues to be delightful - cool mornings, mostly sunny days, not hot! We're starting to notice some coloring of leaves. Could this mean that summer is almost over? I'm headed to KY for the weekend. Should have a lot of photos coming that are "out of the woods"! Make-do bridge. Nice to finally have a way through the mud. Jubilee is doing pretty well with her limited eyesight, though she falls off this bridge most every time we cross it. Finall...

Another American Adventure: February 2013
http://anotheramericanadventure.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2013. A great tree falls. This tree was unusual because it was really a "twin" tree, growing up beside another tree - Siamese twins that didn't split until after emerging from the ground. I wonder what caused it to fall. It didn't appear to be sick or diseased. Perhaps lightning? The tree(s) was larger than most of the surrounding trees. I wonder if the remaining tree is now unbalanced. The branches that broke the fall almost look like knees. Spring really must be coming! Jubilee enj...
