Walked to the river this morning and got photos of a "gaggle of geese" with their babies swimming up the creek. (you'll probably have to click on the picture to make it big enough to see them.)
Also got a picture of the Sangamon taken from the bridge looking east.
Here are "before" and "just getting started" photos of the new siding project. The original "wood" siding has soaked up water and started to rot in places. The new color will be a medium gray, and we're thinking that the shutters and front door will be a dark slate. We're also getting a window put in the east window of the dining room to get more light in there.
