prairie pastimes: little house on the prairie

i live on the prairie and i grew up watching "little house on the prairie." i also grew up with the whole "little house..." book series. i have been to the laura ingalls wilder museum in desmet, south dakota and was in one of the houses they lived in. it was interesting to see some of their actual possessions! i was able to meet the illustrator (garth williams) for the book series. i was also able to stand under some of the cottonwoods pa planted! these trees are near a field where locals perform a pageant based on one of the books from the "little house..." series at dusk on weekends thruout the summer. it is an incredible experience!

today i've been outside working around the yard, getting ready for winter. in between doing those chores and some chores around the house, i've been watching, you guessed it, little house!!! it has been on all day on the hallmark channel! i looooove the hallmark channel!!!
it started with several of the programs from the series i watched as a kid, starring michael landon and melissa gilbert. and now the "little house on the prairie" movie hallmark made is on! i'm a happy prairie girl!!!

between the beautiful day outside and "little house..." inside, it has been an incredible day! life is good! it doesn't get much better than this! the day could only be made better with popcorn!
