Smithville

   Took a ride to Smithville with my sister and my nephew.  We were looking for a flag from Italy.  Most of the town celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and their Italian heritage.  A large percentage of the town's population claims to be of Italian descent.  Just visited a facebook page and it seems that Italians and non-Italians alike can't wait to get a good sausage and pepper sub at one of the food stands that will be set up there.

   It was another nice afternoon at a popular shops at Smithville.  Even if you didn't want to shop you could enjoy a pleasant stroll and watch the chickens, the ducks, and  pet dogs.  Under the roof near the bridge, I found a swallow's mud nest and I was able to get a photo.
