Jerry and I planned to go to Bloomington's Miller Park last night to listen to a Musical Spectacular. We went a couple years ago and it was really good. Then I noticed that there was a community band concert/ice cream social in Franklin Park and we decided not to fight the traffic and crowds of people and go to that one instead. It was very nice with a much smaller crowd. I believe we were the youngest people there! Hmmm.
We noticed on the drive to B'ton that that the corn is looking good - not quite up to last year - but very nice considering the slow start it got with all the rain. Beans not quite as promising.
We have more lightening bugs (or fireflies) this year than I have ever seen. They are just thick at dusk and as we look over the fields across from our house it is blanketed with the blinking lights. We have also had several in the house and in the car! I guess they get on our clothes and just come on in.
Coming home last night, the Lord saw fit to spare us our third deer accident! As we approached the Mackinaw river I saw a deer in the left ditch and told Jerry "there's a deer" so he slowed down. I said "there's another one coming across" so he stopped just as the deer entered our lane. That dumb deer just stood there and stared at us as if to say "I dare you!". There was a third deer, the buck, in the ditch on the right. We honked to get them off the road.
So, such is life in farm country in early July. Exciting, huh? We're heading to Eureka to have brunch with Keith and Alice in a few minutes.

Correction -- it was the fourth deer-kill that was avoided last night. We've already hit 2 with a truck and 1 with my car.
Wow - glad you guys are okay! Too bad you don't like deer meet!
