Yes, we took the canal tour in Amsterdam and have another coming up in Kolmar. Such a beautiful way to see a city. Chicago is a great place to tour by water.
 
Thanks. I picked a lot of cotton as a teenager. I was very thankful when daddy hired someone with a cotton picker to pick our fields.
My family stopped framing/Sharecropping when I was young. My mother told my dad to get on that work bus and go to the cotton mill in Lagrange, GA. He retired from it. But talking about picking cotton, my mother's brother-in-law helped my mother out picking; he would place rocks in her bag to help her.

April wanted to see those tulips we miss them by a week.
 
Today was Strasbourg, France. Their Notre Dame is incredible, third tallest stone cathedral in the world. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out along the canals, but I was most moved by de Gaulle’s decision to have a memorial placed in an 800-year-old church commemorating the US soldiers’ efforts to liberate the city.

We went for our first hike of the season yesterday to a bluff shelter I found in 1997. I wanted to see if an arrowhead or one in process of being made was still there. Some interesting stuff in this one shelter and luckily no ticks were brought home with us.


Pieces of petrified wood in the 'ceiling' of the shelter.

Another piece.

The 'in process' arrowhead was still there.

I found this among some flint on the floor and, while this is not a good picture, up close you can tell it had been worked but never finished.

I believe this fossilized impression is from a type of lycopod tree. A tree many paleontologist think produced coal over the eons.

A local Cherokee elder told me this tree marked the place a Cherokee chief and his wife were killed by a band of Creek Indians just over 200 years ago. The legend had been passed down through his family.
