Wrap Up

So today has been the wrap up of the trade fair. The last bits were sold and the guy that bought that beautiful windmill you saw photos of came to get it. I am now relaxing in the hotel in blessed air conditioning. Patrick and I spent about 2 hours loading up the trailer with windmills and parts to come home. He is delivering it for someone in Ohio. They brought in a front end loader bobcat to help the process. Somehow I am still tired and a little sunburned. Tonight is a banquet for the windmillers at a fancy place here in town. I am sure hoping for some prime rib after today's activities!

I did look up a wildflower guide today, but have not had time to really read it yet. I am hoping to figure out what some of the gorgeous flowers are. I know that I have seen coriopsis and various cone flowers.

I can honestly tell you too, that I have a whole new respect for the pioneers. This land here is gorgeous, but also brutal. It is HOT and the wind never ever stops. The storms are horrific, and I am told that the winters are too. I am not sure how they made it.

More later....
