So far I feel like a duck since we’ve been in Illinois. We have only had one day of no rain, with more severe weather forecast for this afternoon and tomorrow. (Friday) I guess it hasn’t been much better back home in Michigan. I know it could always be worse, as Iowa, Kansas, and Wisconsin have really been inundated with rain and tornadoes. We just heard about the four boy scouts that were killed by a twister in Iowa. What a heartbreaking story!
Last evening Mark, Logan, and I took a drive into Wisconsin to look at a motorcycle. The weather cleared up for our drive, but the rivers, creeks, lakes, and farm fields all had more than their share of brown muddy water. With more rain on the way, some people are going to be in a lot of trouble. Except for the water, Wisconsin is a beautiful state. We saw some deer, and they looked mammoth to me. I suppose they are like our southern Michigan deer, that have all kinds of “body building” farm crops to keep them healthy.
The terrain resembled the Irish Hills area, not far from Monroe, but was actually more rolling. I didn’t see any 100-200 acre farms either! Seemed like every farm we saw had huge acreage to go with it. There also were many woodlots, ravines, and thick brushy areas. All these factors add up to a nice healthy deer population.
My daughters computer is giving me, and her, fits! Everyday we have to re-boot it, or call for technical assistance, and posting pictures is out of the question. I guess I’ll have to do that when I get back home.

The storms have definitely been taking a toll on a lot of states. We have a chance of severe weather this afternoon as well. Hopefully it passes this time. I do not want to be without power again.
