Trip to Indiana

Mark trimming the bushes at Grandparent's houseToday I return to Phoenix. This past week in Indiana has been very nice. I helped around my grandparents house. I fertilized roses, planted many flowers and tomato plants, trimmed the trees. I went to a the banks of Wildcat Creek and the Wabash River. I saw Battleground Park and the place where the Tippeconue River meets the Wabash. I even went to a farm and had a chance to see an old style farm house, farm machinery, and fed live farm animals including a horses, pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens.
I was really impressed by the pig. It's hair was strong as wires and its hide as rough as leather. Its body was thick and hard like a rock, I thought it was muscle. The air is really fresh. Unlike Arizona you can take a deep breath and almost taste the freshness of the cool, moist air. I ate lots of good, wholesome meals, watched a few interesting movies, and started to read some interesting books. I really got to talk with and enjoy time with my grandparents.
