This sweet boy is the reason I do everything I do and am willing to go through so much!
Finally my Matt is happy and content . . . that's all that matters.

Hiking with Matt
Hiking Dellwood Park
Matt, my budding archeologist, checking nooks and crannies for caves, caverns and treasures.
Where is Your Elevator Going??!!!
Who is choosing the direction your life is going?
You?
Your circumstances?
Pantry Surprise a la Matt!!
So yummy!
Matt cooked me an amazing supper yet again. He's turned into an electric fry pan wonder!
Here are the ingredients:
~ spicy Polish sausage, sliced
~ summer squash
~ diced fresh garlic
Fry the above until tender and cooked through
.
Add:
~ couscous
~ can of chilli
Simmer until done.
Burdock and Garlic Mustard
The stems of the Burdock make a rather nice wild celery and add a healthier organic veggie than farmed celery.
Dellwood Park
There are amazing hills and rock features in this park! We haven't been hiking here in about ten (10) years so I had totally forgotten how beautiful this "secret" little area is.
I'm thinking this area was created when the railway was put in. It appears that the hillside was blasted out to allow a flat surface for the tracks. This blasting created unique vistas.
Dellwood Park
We saw an awful lot of trash on these side trails. We'll definitely be bringing trash bags on our next hike!!
Dellwood Park Dam ~ a Hydroelectric Possibility?!!
Hmmm . . .
If the dam were restored to working order. . .
Then this area could house the necessary mechanisms to generate hydroelectric!!
Imagine the possibility of Dellwood Park generating a portion of it's own power!!!
Dellwood Park
Under the old dam.
There has got to be some possible way to use this space . . .
Maybe a historical display of the grandeur from the days when this park had boating and carnival rides? The days when people came from Chicago by ferry . . .
I do often wonder what it would take to return this gem of a park to those glorious days of prosperity??!!!

My Pedometer App ~ My Day . . .
I walked 6,903 steps . .
Not nearly what I should be walking . .
But . .
Still a very busy day . .
Cleaning and bookkeeping . .
Hiking with Matt . .
A really good day.
