Okay, I know... I've been a little obsessed with the prairie lately. :) It's just so incredible! The landscape is so entertaining and inspiring and humbling. And yes, Meredith, the prairie can be treacherous and challenging, particularly in the winter. Thanks to modern-day comforts (like heat and 4wd!) it's not insurmountable, but once in a while the wind and snow do conspire to keep the whole family together for a day, which is okay too. :) I actually really enjoyed the beauty and life (deer!) in the winter prairie, and I'm finding that mid-summer is another spectacular time; what with all the blooming and storms and birds, etc. Anyhow, here are pictures of a storm stacking up east of us (it never actually hit us, and we really enjoyed watching it from our safe distance):
Here is a video of the red lightening that started flashing after dusk. I'm sure the next town over, Hawley, got some rain and thunder out of it, but we stayed lovely and dry all night!

Ok, that is gorgeous! As long as the actual storm is just watching distance and not participatory :)
