Sea of Flax

In many years gone by, this was a common sight to see flax in the fields.  It is rare to see this beautiful sight now.  These are the rolling hills of North Dakota and see the rock pile off to the left?  At my Mom’s farm where she grew up, they had to pick rocks.  Fortunately where I am from in the Red River Valley there are no rocks, only black earth.  The rocks could damage plow shares and other equipment.  Off for points south!  We plan to stop in Watertown, South Dakota to see the Terry Redlin musuem (LOVE that place) then to Omaha, Nebraska.  Should be a fun time at our conference in Kansas City.  I’ll write from the road!
