Little Cabin in the (Southern Illinois) Woods

The Cabin at Mountain Glen in Cobden, Illinois

Little cabin in the woods
Little old man at the window stood


Saw a rabbit hopping by
Then knocking at his door
Meadow view from the Cabin 


"Help me! Help me, sir!" he said.
"Or the hunter shoot me dead!"


Passionflower vine in the meadow

"Come, little rabbit, come inside,
Safely to abide..."

Elderberry?

Yes, I really am off my rocker, just in case you were wondering--off my rocker on the cabin porch and back to work in Florida. Vacation in Southern Illinois is over. Or is it?

I am still savoring wild cherries and wondering what elderberries (if that's what those pink berries are) taste like...


Capturing deer emerging from thickets...


Taking a boat ride on Kinkaid Lake to a favorite jumping-off point...





Shooting wild turkeys--with the camera--just as the sun comes up...












Watching Grandson take his first hike in Giant City State Park...


Taking advantage of family photo opps...



Thinking that silliness abounds when Grandson's around.


I can't leave Southern Illinois without bringing home some of its summertime bounty. The peaches are from Rendleman Orchards in Alto Pass. Tomatoes are courtesy of a generous brother-in-law who loves to garden.
