Peaceful Sunday 2/26/12

 This is how the Prairie looked yesterday..... now imagine how it looks today.... with over 5 inches of snow covering it. LOL

 Oil and gas are not the only forms of energy that are abundant in ND. We also have lots of wind! We also have lots of wind turbines.

 If you look closely, you will see the steps and door at the base of the front turbine. That gives you an idea of how huge these things are. They can be seen from miles away.

 North Dakota also is home to abandoned buildings, lots of abandoned buildings! 

 Ice fishing! yep, they do that here too. 

This gives you an idea of how far out on the ice they drive their trucks. A couple of weeks ago this lake had many trucks and shacks, we were expecting a storm so there were not as many on the ice yesterday.

 This area is where Lewis and Clark spent a good deal of time, so there are many things that honor them. 

I think the Indian Head road signs are pretty cool. 

The kids have been in and out all day. I swear it takes more time to bundle  and unbundle than play time out side. :-) Hunter has said several times today that this is the best winter ever!! (And yes, they had Snow cream for the first time and loved it!)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~

Peaceful Sunday 2/19/12

It has been awhile since the last Peaceful Sunday post. It was beautiful yesterday and I took the camera along for the day.

 Hard to believe it is February in ND.

 Cattle in the White Earth Valley.

 ND is perfect for someone like me.. someone who loves old buildings. (I think the wood holds up because the air is so dry.) This looks like an old house.

 I can't help trying to imagine what once was at this old farmstead. It must have been beautiful with the slough in front of the house.

Love the old truck in this photo, along with the old barn! :-)

 White Earth Lake, it is hard to tell from this picture, but the lake is frozen. That is ice you see.

 An old building full of character- and I bet at one time it was filled with characters!! LOL 

 The sign over the door of the building above- it is a jail!! LOL 

I wonder why the horseshoe is hanging upside down.......

 And old building.

LOL, This cat was watching some children play in the yard next door.

 A couple of derailed cars at hubby's work. He said more would have derailed but they fell against the building. 

(Hubby does drive the train from time to time, but not at this facility. So, no hubby did not wreck the train. LOL)

Liked this shot. LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~
