I had a pretty amazing day yesterday. I got a bunch of work things done in the morning and then my daughter and I headed back to UMM as she started the second half of Fall Semester today. It was a beautiful driving day. After I dropped her off; I headed towards New Ulm. Now, I love observing the harvest going on when I am driving; there is just something about it and I have so much respect for those hard working farmers out there getting it done. Anyway the countryside between Morris and New Ulm was buzzing with activity. I arrived at the New Ulm Public Library - City of New Ulm plenty early and got set up to present, “Ghost Signs & Grain Bins: A Look At Minnesota’s Agricultural Heritage.” It went really well, and was even recorded so it could be shown on a local tv channel; as well as on the Library’s YouTube page! It was really dark by the time I started for home, and guess what? There were several spots where farmers were either in the field or in their farm yard doing stuff with the harvested corn! In the end I was on the road for nearly twelve hours in what turned out to be a big triangle route through Minnesota!
