Jackie had physical therapy Wednesday, so we took a little drive down Ill. 2 to look for some fall colors.
There were some yellows and browns and even some red in the trees and elsewhere.
Sometimes I forget how beautiful Ogle County is. Seriously. We are fortunate to live in a county with three parks, a state forest, and a huge prairie owned by the Nature Conservancy. Seeing it reminded me to take advantage of some of those offerings.
Anyway, it's a nice drive down Ill. Rt. 2. We went to Lowden and looked at the statue by Taft.....and if you have not seen it lately I suggest you go before it crumbles to pieces. Truly, it is a shame to see that great landmark is such a deplorable state.
Anyway, enough of my carping about the problems of life.
Here are some pictures.
