The Bean Cycle

New Day Rising

Lately I have been driving to Greeley to get an early afternoon coffee, or a snack at a taqueria. there is also a cool magazine emporium named "Woody's" ...kind of like Al's News, but wider. Today i dropped in on Chip Coronel, at UNC. He's the head Art Historian there. He gave me a great tour of the studios.

Near the coffee shop is a little place i like to dream about having a studio in.
I also went to Greeley today with a purpose- to go to the camera store that I passed the other day.
It was open two days ago.

Same church today
And...it looks like I better make a nice photo of this church before it leaves Eaton. Or, maybe I should have it delivered to a plot of land out on the Pawnee

I drove out East to take a walk and ended up at the Wellington State Park.

Corey Drieth hangs a show. Or, puts it up on the wall. This is day #1 and I will try to document the stages of progression in the next two weeks.

Here are my folks in the Des Moine airport. We flew to Iowa in January 25 for my Aunt Glady's funeral in Newton.

In the church where the service was held there was an amazing stuccoed wall.

More mural-tastic action in Newton. Several years ago the town commissioned an artist to paint murals around town celebrating Newton's past.



Glady's old house, where we used to visit when we were kids.
We went to Maid-Rite for a ....Maid-Rite. Otherwise known in the Mid-West as a "loose meat sandwich". You almost need a spoon to eat this thing...basically steamed ground beef that is piled onto a bun. Better than it might sound to Western ears.
Obama stopped in there several weeks ago during the Iowa caucuses.
Why didn't I buy this gem that I saw at the antique store? Ingrid Bergman!
