in the county

I left on Friday and drove up through Iowa's blue skies to Minnesota.

I was heading to Northfield because Amanda, Paige and I were going for a walk.

I didn't mind the three hour drive to meet them.

It had been awhile since we had all been together and I couldn't wait to see my friends!

On our walk through the woods we rounded the path and emerged upon the praire...where the sun was kissing the grass and was absolutely beautiful.







After our walk we went to dinner at a local restaurant where the host let us know that they had the "best salads in the county!"

A few cosmos later and hours of conversation I went to sleep energized from the day with my amazingly wonderful friends.

My weekend also included a visit to my Grandmas, not to mention an afternoon with her new puppy!

His name is Tuffy and is the most delightful 2.2 pound creature!

To my surprise my Aunt, Uncle and cousins were also visiting which made my visit even more enjoyable!

Amazing pictures, thanks Anne! It's nice to see what adventures you have while I'm away at SXSW. I do love it when that orange sunlight sticks to the prairie grass.

walks can be very theraputic, whether they're with your friends, or up a mountain to get 1st tracks. always with music, too.

Sounds like you had a great weekend! Hope our chat took up some of the drive time. We'll definately have to get together soon!

Jake, I miss you!

Scott, thanks! I had the best weekend and isn't that puppy so cute?!

Wootang71, I agree! Music, mountains, friends, and walks are all theraputic!

Cheryl, thanks!

Matt O., I have always enjoyed that show. I didn't watch last season though....I would have to tape it every time it airs. Is Jake in this pool? I am in Portland right now...I would have to look up the time for here...I'll try!

Paige! I love you! It was so fun to be together again!

Scarlet, thanks!

Christa! It did, thanks! See you soon.

Anne A., :)
