Farmer's Market Haul part 2
It's Saturday so off we went to the Effingham Farmers Market! We swore we were going to buy no sweets, we lied! We did buy melons and veggies, including some delicious pumpkin blossoms! However we couldn't pass up the strawberry-chocolate cinnamon rolls, homemade angel food cake and Sourdough bread (we've had if before)! I got my beautiful fresh flowers as always! Everyone stay cool, it's a scorcher today!

Ballard's Nature Center
Bill and I hiked the trails at Ballard Nature Center in Altamont IL this morning. It was a cool morning so the wooded areas were very pleasant for walking. The prairie area was at it's prettiest, but the swamp area was closed due to all of the flooding we have had this year, was disappointed we didn't get to see it. The visitor's center is always closed on Sunday, but we have visited it several times before. Kudos to the staff for keeping the paths mowed and cleared! We took a quick selfie on the bridge at the end of our walk, it was getting hot!

Birthday dinner
I treated my sweetie to a Birthday steak dinner at Applebee's today. He got carded when he ordered a beer...the waitress started laughing, you know, because he's really old! He got a free ice cream sundae too! It was a fun day. He said thank you for all of the birthday wishes, they are much appreciated!
