Every time I walk or drive by this house, this yard calls to me. I'm sure it's the Easter-egg colored chairs but it just looks like such a relaxing place to hang out on a nice afternoon.

Every spring in many parts of the mid-west, people search nearly endlessly for morel mushrooms. Apparently, they are fairly illusive (my dad took my sisters and me out numerous times as kids to hunt for them but we never found any) and people who find th...

This is a great little coffee shop, Trout Lilly Cafe, located at 218 S. 6th. The coffee is good, the service is friendly, and they sometimes have some nice live music in the afternoons.

I took this picture a few days ago. I was standing on Capital Avenue looking west at sunset. And that is, as you might recognize from this post, the Illinois State Capitol Building.

This is Cozy Dog Drive In, located at 2935 S. 6th, which is also part of Historic Route 66. According to some, the cozy dog corndogs sold here are based on the first ever recipe for corndogs, although, according to Wikipedia, there is some debate about t...

This is Incredibly Delicious, a French-style bakery (or boulangerie) located at 925 S. 7th. I always find it a little hard to describe this place without sounding cheesy because the name really does say it all. A friend from Belgium introduced me to the...

Today's post isn't anything too special. These little signs of spring are all over the place right now. Every spring I feel surprised at all the little flowers and blooms--I guess it's hard to remember so much color and life during the winter. I've alw...

The Old State Capitol seems to be the center of what Springfieldians refer to as "downtown." This building served as Illinois' capitol building from 1839 to 1876, which means that when Lincoln served in the Illinois House of Representatives, he served in...

I saw this today and it made me chuckle so I thought I'd share. I've always been a sucker for turns of phrase. This little hairhouse is located on Laurel Street.

At first glance, this picture might look like a friendly woman sitting on her porch enjoying the day. Maybe she's got a glass of iced tea and is just watching the neighborhood. But look closer and you will see that this is a mannequin--as in a fake, per...

I noticed these spike-type things along the ledges of several buildings downtown. I don't know if they were put there by the buildings' owners of if they are the work of Springfield's very controversial "Bird Whisperer." Apparently, downtown Springfield...

Well, as the saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers." That's absolutely true here and those necessary showers often come in the form of big thunderstorms. Dramatic weather is common in the middle of all continents and so it is common in Illinois....

I saw this scene yesterday and just thought it looked pretty. My mom had tulips planted in our yard when I was little, and every spring she would send my sisters and me outside to see if they were coming up yet. She probably just wanted a few minutes of...

As the title of the post suggests, this is my favorite Thai restaurant but also just one of my favorite restaurants of any type in Springfield. Mekong Cafe, located at 1308 S 2nd Street, is relatively new in Springfield but my husband and I have been reg...
