On to Indiana

The photo is the monument to Jefferson Davis. We saw this absolutely HUGE thing rising above the flat Kentucky landscape and just had to investigate. It denotes his birthplace and has a small museum. And this is in the middle of nowhere.....

We left Kentucky today after spending three days in Hardin, Kentucky near the "Land Between the Lakes" We enjoyed a day of bird watching and viewing an Osprey atop a toll dead tree guarding it's baby. Osprey builld their huge nests at the very top of a dead tree or pole, usually near water. Where we were bird watching was a remote location where people normally don't go. I happened on the nest while the mama spoke very sharply To me....kew kew kew leave leave leave. It flew around the area trying to maneuver me away. I didn't want to disturb her so I took a few pictures and left. On Sunday we visited a very small country church and were so blessed with the country gospel hymms and simple, but precious message. It was so refreshing to be in church. Today we are in Oaktown Indiana for a few days heading toward Dale's brother and dad in Wisconsin. We should be there in another week or so. This is corn country with forever fields as far as the eye can see.
