blue sky south dakota

First of all, Happy Father's Day! We are in Mitchell, South Dakota right now enjoying a little blue pool and mini golf under big white clouds and blue sky. Here are some pics from earlier today.

We saw these beauties in Iowa a couple of hours before we entered SD. They were like giants or martians marching over farmland. It was spectacular! I never knew how lovely Iowa's rolling hills are. I had always imagined it to be quite flat and brown but all we saw were green pastures. Below are snaps from beautiful South Dakota - well, of the world famous Corn Palace. More SD tomorrow.

Above is a photo of the Corn Palace in her glory days. It is much smaller now than I remember as a child and there is a basketball court smack in the middle of the building! When there are no games there are rows of racks of key chains and postcards of the fading beauty. I still love the idea of her.

We are at a KOA campground in the middle of fields and farms. I could really get used to this. Thanks for your notes and peeks. paz, k
