Nothing like a Minnesota thunderstorm...



My first day on the farm we went from playing outside to running out to put mowers and tractors in the garage.... those of us who have left Minnesota often long for a good MN thunderstorm and I got to experience a few while I was in Windom. There is something so severe, so quick, so obvious about them and unlike Houston where showers mean MORE humidity....usually in MN a good crack of thunder brings with it a cool breeze from Canada...one so fresh and so clean you wait in expectation for the next thunderstorm to roll in.

Returning Home ....once again....

We've just now returned home from our long journey to Minnesota.... We were there for a month. A month packed with family events big and small, lazy farm days, cool nights and even some cool days. Blog posts to follow of our adventure but wanted to say.... We're BACK! And thank you to my family who made our trip so memorable!!
