Gardens that Make Me Smile

This one is ours...the swing is back up and it puts a smile on my face (that it's done, and that it's such a happy color!). That phlox always reminds me of my Grandmama's yard.

More...just some flowers outside our garage.

Now, on to some other flowers in town! This is some of the City of Pontiac's handwork! It makes walking or driving to town over the Mill Street bridge a pleasure.

As I'm walking over the bridge I always look over at this building. It has offices in the downstairs, and a home in the upstairs.  They have a beautiful garden overlooking the river.

It must be lovely to sit up there, watching the hummingbirds and catching the breeze. It puts a smile on my face whenever I pass, which is several times a day.

"Crusin' the Square" Art Show

We have a wonderful new display here in Pontiac, IL. Most of the cars in the "Crusin' the Square" show were unveiled today...so much hard work and imagination went into these cars. And such great variety!

This one is sponsored by the Illinois Route 66 Association

Rockin' and Rollin' Car was done by the Jr. High Art Club

Jack Gerard's car featured activities of teens who might be crusin' the square.
