Owl House

Trevor has been wanting to build something, so on Saturday we built an owl house. Blake Rocke was here so he got in on the action also. I think they all had a great time. I put it on a tree not to far from the house hoping that we could get a glimpse of Mr and Mrs Owl when they move in. If they come back several years I may have to look into putting a web cam in it so we could have our own owl page. More pix here

Windpower

On the way home from Alysha's tourney in Pekin we drove by a windfarm East of Bloomington. The kids counted over 50 wind jennys and that was just one section of the farm. They are putting up more, I bet there was at least 15 to 20 jennys under construction. We stopped at one that was right by the road, it was huge. I wish I had one in my backyard.....

HOOOME RUUUN

We spent the weekend in Pekin at a softball tourney. Fortunately it was an indoor tourney, made it much more enjoyable. Alysha played 3 games and :( lost all 3. They did play pretty good for the first games of the season. Alysha pitched the end of one game and started the next game. Here is a pix of her on her way to 1st. She turned a single into a HOME RUN!!
