Westward Bound

Indianapolis, Indiana is home to the joint campus of Indiana University and Purdue University in Indianapolis. That is now the abode of my wonderful nephew and his amazing wife and their precious little daughter. What a delight is was for John and I to visit them there! Indianapolis is also significant to us because we have finally made the turn to the West! Lewis is now heading out of Indiana, into Illinois and across South Dakota. John and I can only marvel at the variety and beauty of landscapes we have traversed thus far. Although the contents of the strip malls remain fairly constant...McDonalds, Arbys, Dollar General.... the views of the countryside from the cockpit of Lewis are ever changing. Middle America is flush with neon green this April. The tiny fresh corn sprouts have turned the corn fields into a soft lush carpet. Spring is all around us...a bounty of birds, plants, trees, animals soaking up the warmth and enjoying the renewal of life.
