Lunch with friends

On Thursday morning we received a phone call from Wayne & Bonnie who live in Burnsville. They wanted to have lunch with us. (Maybe they secretly wanted to see if anyone was staying in “their cabin #3” 🙂 We had errands in Willmar so we met at The Oaks Restaurant at Eagle Creek Golf Course. […]

2-10-Sunset at PWELC

Friday we set out for our sunset picture at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center which is right next door to the resort. We went to the Westby Observatory Building hoping for the best view. There weren’t any clouds, but the sun was pretty. Sunset at 5:36 with stone fireplace

Fishermen in Sunset 2-2-12

Lake Florida Sunset 1-6-12

The sunset at the resort on Friday was beautiful again, though not quite as good as Thursday. It was also quite windy which didn’t make it as much fun to be outside taking pictures.

Welcome to the first beautiful sunset of 2012. We had winds of up to 50 mph the last couple of days. It sounded like 16 freight trains coming by! Today was cold-only a high of 18 degrees, but the weatherman says 40 degrees by Thursday. Still no snow to speak of. Last night we were […]
