Rocke Happenings in July

We decided to take a 'fun' day and just take off an enjoy the day yesterday.
We first went out to eat breakfast in Streator, then we drove along the Vermillion River
toward the Illinois river. The drive was real pretty. We ended up at Matthiessen State Park and
Illini Campground. We took lawn chairs and books and sat along the bank of the IL. river.
Soon a barge came by. It was big, with 3 abreast and altogether 12 barges.
Below are some pictures of our flowers in front of the house.
Shasta daisies

Petunias



Day lilies







Here is the waterfalls at Matthiessen State Park.
It was a fun day, we ended up in Pontiac on our way home and ended our day
with a Wendy's chocolate malt. Haven't had one of them in years.
A beautiful rainbow looking East from our porch.
Have a wonderful week to all our family and friends.

Beautiful rainbow! I love the picture of the waterfall too - we've never been to that state park, sounds fun!
