The Countdown Begins

Seven days and counting!

One week from today, we will be flying over the Atlantic to Paris but only spending a few hours in Paris before we head to Berlin!

Working on adding pictures....hmmm...

 The Sixel Cheese Factory.  Trying to determine if the owners were related.  Otto Sixel

The Weather Vane- oh the winds of change. What will Germany bring me as my fore-fathers brought the German traditions in the past to America.

 Love the cream-colored brick.

Looking at the prairie grass and wildflowers in fall.

Looking at the No Mow grass on the mounds.  Supposably, no mowing, no fertilizer and grows 4-5 inches tall. 

Another picture of the No-Mow grass with a peek of Lake Michigan in the background.  Very windy with some foot-high white caps.
