Every time we have a really hot spell of weather, I get out "The Long Winter" and read it. (Helps cool me down.) I have her cookbook too. I made wild plum jelly using her recipe and it was amazing. (And I think I'll add visiting her homes to my list of things to do before I die.LOL )<br /> Thanks for sharing.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943247290960773914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056858779090579054.post-10886123867360096142011-10-12T16:54:27.090-05:002011-10-12T16:54:27.090-05:00Aw Kat - what a wonderful post!

If you come on the right weekend during the summer they also have an open air production which starts at dusk-on the prairie, really lovely. close to the surveyors shack, the town house,the cemetary, and the store Mr. Ingalls ran, is the tree claim Laura and Almanzo lived on, where they had the fire. Not far away in Minnesota is Walnut Grove which has the soddy and their own celebration. Across the state on Lake Pepin is the site of the original Little House in the woods. You could take in a lot of Laura in a few days. The good thing out here is things haven't changed so much that you can't imagine it as it was. When I first moved to south Dakota, there were people living who had known members of the family. It does make the stories richer to see the landscapes. I enjoy your blog, thanks for writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
