We stopped at the Big Red Store (closed except for 4 days a year) to take pictures.
We continued on Appleton Road, which dead-ended at Sugar Creek.
We took Blooming Grove Road, a narrow, two-lane, rough, snake road for several miles. Along the way, we passed the Appleton Church of Christ, as well as goats, turkeys, horses, cows, and a flock of vultures.
Once again, we encountered Sugar Creek, where we saw a family with two little boys wearing life jackets and two girls swimming.
They scurried out of the creek as we proceeded to cross.
The cross-over was concreted with water flowing over the top.
We continued along Blooming Grover Road, where we saw fields of Corn, Black-eyed Susan, and a barn full of hay.
We saw a John Deere mailbox at 8125 waiting for the mail carrier.
We stopped in front of a white wooden farmhouse that had a red tin roof. In the front yard was a row of pink Lilies in full bloom.
After many turns and twists, we arrived at Minor Hill Highway.

The Yellow Deli, with its beautiful garden, caught my eye, so we decided to stop for lunch.
I took pictures of the garden as we approached the entrance.
We were greeted by the owner, who informed us that the upstairs area was closed.
The owner said you are welcome to go upstairs and look around while you are waiting for your food.
I ordered the Cranberry Cashew Salad with Mixed greens, cashews, craisins, Havarti cheese, peppers, and tomatoes, served with house dressing, and cranberry bread.

The Inside of the Deli was as beautiful as the outside. Murals dotted the walls, and Common Sense Soaps and Body Care lined the entranceway, leading to the hosted area, cashier, and bar.
Plants were everywhere, including the window seals, and the windows were dressed in tied-back yellow and white check curtains.
Half-bushel baskets were used as light fixtures.
Wooden Tables, iron-backed chairs, and wooden booths were located throughout the lower and upper levels of the deli.
The top level had an enclosed garden where you could enjoy dining outside.

We walked around outside, looking at the markers, benches, statues, dog fountains, and beautiful plants.
We stopped by Home Depot to pick up a few items.
We encountered a patch of rain while traveling home.
The day's adventure included traveling on narrow, winding back roads, with one a dead end.
Traveling across water-covered roadways along Sugar Creek, people are enjoying a swim.
Enjoyed lunch at The Yellow Deli and Gardens and a stop at the Trail of Tears Interpretive Center.
