Country Roads in Indiana

While we were staying with Janice and Steve in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Janice gave us a tour of the countryside where she grew up and has lived all of her life.  We got to see places we never would even have known existed in the back country.  It was so kind of her to share her home with us.  It is incredibly beautiful!  Here are my photos -




 And then we were given this beautiful sunset!  A perfect day in Indiana!

Heartland of America

Crawfordsville, Indiana
Here we are - parked right in the driveway to the barn.  Lovin' this visit!
What a wonderful experience it is to be able to stay here with our friends Janice and Steve in their home in the Heartland of Indiana.  This is such a new experience for Kirby and I and for Jake too.  They have corn and soy beans growing all around them, the sky is big and beautiful and the quiet is the most quiet we have experienced in a very long time.  Not even a hint of freeway, no barking dogs, nothing.
This farm is right next door.

I had never seen soy beans growing before. Or, if I did, I didn't know it!

This is a blossom on the soy bean plant.  So delicate.

We finally left Kentucky yesterday and have arrived in Indiana!  What a beautiful drive we had over the hills and through the trees - and through the heavy rain!  We have never been in that kind of rain with our RV before and my heart went out to Kirby.  All I could do to help him was to keep my mouth shut! At times we could barely see the road ahead and there was traffic all around with no shoulder to pull off.  Not a fun time but soon it was gone and all was right with the world again.  Enjoy the photos!
Just look how beautiful and picturesque the countryside is.  I am in love - again.  (Travel is so wonderful)
We are visiting our friends Steve and Janice in Crawfordsville, Indiana and staying behind their house by the barn (which really only holds their RV - no horses or animals!)  After lunch they drove us around the town.  It is all just beautiful Americana!
The Lane Mansion was the home of Henry S. Lane, governor of Indiana and US Senator during the 1860's.
