Call me crazy, but I'd bet I'm not the only one who doesn't know what a farrier does. Actually, at first I thought it read "furrier service" and then quickly assumed it had something to do with taxidermy (Get it..."FURrier"). Well, nothing could be further from the truth. According to Wikipedia, a farrier specializes in equine hoof care. 
Ever wonder what happened to the "Mystery Machine" from Scooby Doo? Well here you go. Someone just parked it out here in the middle of the woods. A fine piece of history.
Yes, it is not uncommon to still find some Confederate flags hung as window treatments. Never mind that Indiana was on the Union side of the Civil War. Apparently this never goes out of fashion in the back-woods of our beloved state.
And what do we make of this? Some sort of primative idol or just a friendly face to welcome those passing by? We may never know.
Notice the reflectors on the side of this outhouse. I hate to think of what might have occured for someone to feel the need to add this safety feature.
Okay, okay, we didn't REALLY go on a tour of outhouses. Chris and I got away to a B&B just outside of Nashville, Indiana this past weekend. Our first time away WITHOUT the kids since coming home from China. We were totally unplugged from TV, internet, etc. The place was very peaceful and relaxing. Except maybe Chris was a little too relaxed because now he has Type II influenza. Not just the sniffles, this is the real McCoy. That's what we get for trying to take a vacation!
By the way, the above shots were taken with my new-and-very-fancy camera... a Nikon D80. In fact, the reason I have not posted any new pictures lately is that it is SO fancy, that the memory card was too powerful for our computer to read. We bought a less fancy memory card and now it is reading them just fine.
