With some basic chores completed on Saturday morning, the kid and I packed up and headed off to Glenwood to join the rest of the family for a little rest and relaxation. We pulled into town around 4:30pm to wonderfully warm conditions and sunny skies.
I, of course, brought the bike and got out for a quick ride before the evening sun set (and with the desire of avoiding some of the stronger, daytime winds). The ride was a short trek into Starbuck, out to Indherred Lutheran, and back toward Glenwood before the sun passed below the horizon making me illegal. It was a basic 15 mile ride with nothing to note – outside of a great evening in my childhood stomping grounds. Here are the details loaded into the Garmin site.
As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I’ve recently upgraded my camera and was eager to try it out. Since my daughter is picture-averse, I was glad to have the nephews floating around Grandma and Grandpa’s place – offering continuous opportunities to photograph. Thus, this post will be mostly about some photos I captured while hanging at my Dad’s house in Glenwood and a short adventure to the Jenum farmhouse in Barsness Township, Pope County.
Enjoy!
Erin was able to relax and enjoy some time in Grandpa’s backyard
Definitely my favorite photo of the bunch – Karl losing his bashfulness on the swing
Breakfast with the boys is always full of funny faces and lots of giggles
Trekking back into the woods I found some great moss along the ground just waiting to be photographed
On the way out to the farm to pick up my brother’s sailboat and do a little investigation
Out at the farm, the old VW truck hangs out waiting for someone with some time (and a lot of money) to pursue a restoration
The old barn continues to remain intact with its field stone foundation
Dad turned the crank and the engine isn’t frozen with good chances of starting up with a little TLC
With the valuables gone, it’s just the old relics that remain
You have to appreciate the work it took to operate a farm while sitting behind the steering wheels of those old tractors
