Out With The Old...

Test run... as well as a farewell to MN.  This is my parents' property.  Part of it anyway!  I love that as we are leaving the great Northern state, winter decides to make its appearance.  This is highly sarcastic of me.  If I could change one thing about MN it would be to remove winter altogether!  But it is beautiful.  Cold and windy, but beautiful.  
 And these are our cows!  I love watching them, but am absolutely terrified of the beasts!  If you look closely, you can see one of the younger of the bunch, a steer from this fall.  Ouch.  I was there for the day of his... ahem... banding.  I didn't watch, but you can imagine...
And this is part of what we are leaving behind.  But it's not the land that we are tied to, it is the friends and family.  They will be greatly missed in these next five months, but what a reunion we will have when we return!
