Hello everyone......I was out the other day driving and taking pics when I thought it would be nice to share with you all a little slice of Indiana living.... And a pat of that life includes snow. Snow as far as the eye can see. These are corn fields covered with snow. A huge contrast to the bright green stalks that protrude from the ground in the summer time. But beautiful none the less.......You can see the corn silos in the background. These silos house the corn until it is ready to be shipped out. It's also houses food for animals who need a little supplement feeding in the winter time when food is very scarce. So farmers will buy or harvest hay or use the corn to feed their animals. Animals like cows and horses.....
These Beautiful babies are grazing on what is left of the summer's harvest. Farmers also supply the horses with barnes to protect them from the winter's harsh bitter coldness. You can see in the background one of the barnes thohe horses use to sleep in at night. One of the greatest joys in life is riding on horse. When your sitting up there so high in the sky you feel like your miles up. The wind shipping your hair as the horese gallops....well, that's a memory I will keep close to my heart....
Here is a quaint little country church that I just had to photograph. This church has been around since the 1800's and it has seen it's fair share of worshipers. I love the way this little church looks. It looks like you could just pluck it right from where it stands and display it on a shelf somewhere in your house...........
This is the Ski-Hi drive in and yes it's in the country too. It's not in service anymore and it's in need or much repair but when I was a little girl this was the place that my parents brought me to see my first drive-in movie. It was King Kong.(if that tells you anything about how old I am) That led to a family tradition. I took my boys to see their first drive-in movie here also. It was George of the jungle and they loved it. We would bring our lawn chairs and blankets. Our sodas and popcorn. We did this because we were too poor to buy the snacks that they sold on sight. But we didn't care. It was marvelous. We would lay on our blankets with the movie blarring in front of us and the stars twinkeling above us. It was like Heaven. This old theater holds many a memery for us Hoosiers......
This is a fun picture. This was taken out at the resevoir. Another landmark icon that us Hoosiers love the enjoy. Any time of the year can see many people stopping to feed the ducks. They will actually stop traffic to get fed as they did us here. We didn't have any bread with us but I did go up to the bait store and buy some to feed them. The resevoir is a great place with many memories also. In the summertime you can find folks fishing, boating, swiming, picnicing or just soaking up the sun. On a clear night with the moon full the water looks like it's shimmering. Many a night has been spent lieing on the grass starring up into the great unknown and making wishes on falling stars.....
So when city folk gruff at us country folk and comment that we're not so smart. That little smirk on our faces just goes to prove that we really are in deed. In fact, to the point that we aren't so inclined to invite a ton of city folks out to all out favorite places.....matter of fact we'll just keep them to ourselves. I hope you have enjoyed sharing in my Indiana living memories.....
