This week, we’re gonna be whistlin’ ducksie...and doing a little bit of deer hunting...
...sorry about “gonna”...
...and “whistlin’ ducksie”...
...and, no, I did not go deer hunting, at least not in the traditional sense of the word. I’m thinking that would have been vaguely illegal.

Corn and soybeans. Soybeans and corn. That, in a few words, is pretty much what Illinois is all about.
Well, at least in the view of a young fellow in North Carolina.
We’ll get back to corn and soybeans in just a bit. First, an update: you will note that there is a picture of a bird, of some kind,...
G’day, duck.
One evening last week, yours truly stepped outdoors...and was instantly reminded that Southern Illinois can get rather hot and humid during the summer time.

Just in case you wondering, and we’re sure you were, there are only something like 179 shopping days until Christmas. And, oddly enough, if the editor’s official calendar is correct, today is day number 179 of 2018.
Sorry to mention such things, but there had to be a way to segue into what we’re...
WARNING to readers: Blame whatever follows on the fact that your writer spent way too much time out in the heat and humidity last weekend.
And, boy, was it hot.
It was so hot that a little water fountain The Other Half has in the backyard was puffing out little clouds of steam Sunday afternoon.

A fellow traveler on the Journey Through Life mentioned to me one day last week that recent columns didn’t seem to involve much writing.
The traveler was correct. Your writer has been using more photographs lately, mainly because your writer liked the photographs, and thought a few other folks...
Oh, no. He’s doing it again this week. Pictures of birds and a snake...
...sometimes, you just have to go dig in the dirt, or take pictures of birds, or get face to face with the rocks in a creek bed...
