1. They're both beautiful states. We have had lovely weather, highs in the mid 70s lows about 60 and everywhere is green grass, green trees, green hills.
2. That's the other thing, Hills! I was expecting very flat Prairie much like the Dakotas or Kansas or Nebraska. Instead, I have these beautiful rolling hills with something interesting and new around each bend. Even the farms have been gorgeous.
3. Laura Ingalls Wilder. I had forgotten that the "Little House on the Prairie" books all took place in this area. It was fun to stop by the museum and a reconstructed homestead.
When we did a road trip in that area several years ago, we were surprised how the corn fields went right up to the shore of Lake Michigan (we were in Wisconsin!!). We also noticed that the route "numbers/letters" were really strange. On our trip we took a "cruise" across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin -- actually a very large ferry. We couldn't believe how calm Lake Michigan was -- not a ripple to be seen. Love reading about your adventures. Have a ball.
ReplyDeleteHello! Yes, I see the butterfly! Love the picture of the Wilder girls. Did you think Laura resembled the actress that played her in the series? (Melissa Gilbert?) Kinda spooky. Loved the flowers and all the pics! Remind me when you are here to tell you about the cool book Jackie had made of their honeymoon pictures.
