I'm on my way to Des Moines, Iowa as you read this to go to the big AQS Quilt Show there and visit friends. Here are a few odds and ends until I get something else to post. Probably won't post while I am gone. (one more bird post tomorrow)
Rose, from Pics & Pieces and Time Stand Still posted some interesting bridges a while back and noted the dates on them, so I have been curious about some of the ones I drive under regularly. This old railroad bridge is one of them and I noticed that it does have a date on it.
1910....and looks every day of it.
This was in a yard we drove by recently.....an eagle carved with a chainsaw, hanging in a cage. They have recently added the carved Pileated Woodpecker to the side of the cage! Had to have a photo :-)
In their side yard, they have the grouping of carousel animals.
We actually had about 5 minutes of rain....at least its a start?

They have a special unit in the prison that is allowed to do things like this....a faith based, service unit. These men are making these quilts for the homeless, for the families of fallen soldiers, and other charitable causes. They have given away 1000's of quilts. I got to see a few of them recently and took some photos. There is a link for my quilt blog on the sidebar or click here.

People are so clever those carved animals are wonderful. Love the rain photo.
1810!? That was the most amazing thing in this post I think.
The bridge looks like its been hit a few times by high vehicles Mary.
I am impressed with those carvings.Someone is very talented.

Hi Mary...I love old bridges especially the wooden ones !!

Bhavesh: That's 1910 not 1810. There were no railroads in Indiana in 1810...we were still a wilderness at that point.
Hi Mary, Hope you enjoy the Quilt Festival. I KNOW that you will. That's a long drive for you, isn't it??? Is hubby going with you???
Love that old railroad bridge. 1910, huh???? Wow--that's been there for awhile...
Like the eagle and woodpecker yard art.... Very nice.
Have fun!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
I do love that carving Mary. I doubt if I would have used a chain saw for it though.
Enjoy your festival.
Those carvings and carousel animals in the yard are very neat. Thanks for sharing them with us. I like that old railroad underpass as well.
Lots of interesting things today, Mary! Hope you have a great time at the quilt show.
Love that tunnel...for some reason they are another love of mine. That looks like a very interesting road....
This is a wonderful post Mary, and I would love to have carousel animals in my yard! I have several books on them.
Have a great time, and take lots of pictures.
