I have been waiting to do some posting on my blog when I had some pictures to put with the places we have been to shows. I am finally ready. Hurray! (try not to get too excited)
My sister and I went out to Watertown, S.D. for the North Country Fiber Fair. It was fun to see how another fiber event is held. A much smaller venue than Shepherds' Harvest in Minnesota but a very nice event and I have not been to Dakota for a few years and although we were hardly across the border you can see the land change from flat prairies where the combines were already rolling through western Minnesota into the rolling hills of grassland. Everything looked dry starting about an hour west of home, the corn looking like it had been frosted to death which of course it hadn't. Probably why they were harvesting already. This was only the third weekend in Sept. and there was not much combining go on around home yet.
I will apologize for any fuzziness of the pictures as I handed my camera to my sister as we were headed home and said "here, take some pictures".
There is just something about all this wide open prairie that I love. We are all kind of "close" around home with our neighborhood expanding rapidly the last few years so it is nice to see all this wide open space that probably has not changed much since creation.
You hardly realize that as you head into western Minnesota you slowly start climbing in elevation and on the way back of course we were headed slowly down.
And of course out in Watertown is the lovely building which is home to Terry Redlin's gallery. I toured it a few years ago. A stately building with all of his beautiful paintings inside and lot of other things. We were able to see the building from our hotel room.
Next year I hope to spend a little more time and go and tour it once again. So thanks Watertown and North Country Fiber Fair, we had a great time.
