June in Wisconsin is like paradise. Though it was humid and hot, I really enjoyed the destination of my trip. I went there for work, and drove with a couple other coworkers and volunteers. I actually enjoyed the drive too. Seeing Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota was really interesting. Living in the middle of the city and/or suburbs I hardly ever think about the rural areas (the hundreds of miles of rural areas) that provide food and energy for us all! I've been trying to think what the actual driving was like. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but can't exactly explain why. Driving on the highway was like a subtly changing scene. Kind of a long, long artsy film where 500 different shades of green and brown flow into eachother slowly. It certainly gave me ideas for painting.
Anyone know why most barns are red? We had this question while driving. I found these answers, but it seems that there must be more than that. Hmm...
Of the 4 states I drove through, Wisconsin was my favorite. It was like the farmland tropics. For real. It was lush and green green green. And full of fields that rolled and looked they went on forever beyond the hills.

3 peoples had something to say:
I'm glad you enjoyed Wisconsin! I'll admit that, since I grew up there, I sometimes forget to take a look around and enjoy it. You'll have to try it in the fall sometime! And you definitely wouldn't say "farmland tropics" if you visited in January. =)
yes, Heather, I'm sure Wisconsin is a completely different place in winter. Maybe we should get a summer/fall home there and come back to CO in the Winter/Spring! However, when, then, would I get back to Kentucky? :)
I'd LOVE to go to Wisconsin, don'cha know. Love the pic... did you take that?
I'll check into the hospital Monday evening the 16th to be induced, if I don't go into labor earlier. Will most likely have the baby on the 17th, which is my actual due date. So only 10 days to go!
