A Little Trip


We have made a couple little trips to visit son who has a dog better the dog hair stay at his house than mine. Its almost a 4 hour trip so lots of knitting in the car, and a good start on socks for Christmas. We drove past a few fields of sunflowers in full bloom but someone didn't want to stop for selfies with the sunflowers.  Those are wild sunflowers from the file.  We drove into Mobridge one day and stopped at the new outdoor found materials sculpture.  A cowboy riding a walleye called Walleye Up.  When the dams were built on the Missouri River in the 1950's and 60's the old town was flooded and a new town was built where the bridge crosses the Missouri River the words were combined into Mobridge. Their claim to fame is ranching, rodeos and walleye fishing. It could be a statement about taming the west and the river, tourism might be equal or larger than the beef industry now.  Its art and it makes me think and look  --Ann--

Great photos! Wish we lived only a four hour's drive from our oldest!

I'm always interested in your projects. I have nearly worn out my socks matching you gray socks. One can never have to many, can they?
