Once I land in Kansas, I realize how much I miss the land of my birth, the wide open spaces, the golden fields of wheat and the 360° view of blue sky. Of course, after a couple of days of having poor food choices and hot, dry, dusty weather, I'm always happy I live in South Florida. Still, it's a beautiful land that will always have a piece of my heart. ♥

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Gorgeous photos Laura! I feel the same way when I go home...I love it, I miss it, it'll always be a part of me but I don't think that I could live there again.
Now, are you going to stay put for a little while or do you have another trip planned?
What is it they say? "It's a nice place to visit..."
I always love reading your posts and your commentary on your pictures. And what great pictures! I had a snicker at the bosom of the prairie (I'll never pass a field of round bales without laughing now!), and the rest of your shots make me want to visit the midwest someday...
Thanks girlfriends! Yes, I am staying put but just until the fall when a trip to Vegas is planned! I would have liked to stay in Kansas longer but I had a commitment. It's always great to go home even if it is only a few days.
Beautiful! Home sweet home! Can't wait to return in just a few weeks!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! Hugs
Your homeland is beautiful! The view your Mother and Grandmother had was so peaceful and serene. I could sit there for hours provided it was bug free and not too hot:)
I like the "music on the water" shot. I am always mesmerized by light dancing on the water.
I am a bit perplexed at your lack of food choices. I would think the midwest would have a bounty of fresh foods for you to choose from.
I too am going to Vegas in the fall. I am going to see Elton John at Caesar's Palace. I can't wait!
Haha! Yes, the food choices are awful...you get great meat but the fresh fruit is awful. Thank goodness they have a subway!
